Ahaha how can one be a bust if one isnt even drafted.
Try again troll lmao
well there are such things as free agent signing busts.
not saying lin is one yet, still early, but he's well on his way there unless he turns it around.

a bust is somebody who is highly rated or ballyhooed in college or europe then flops like Bargnani. normally it applies to lottery picks. free agents is a roll of dice.
going with your flawed logic, Lowry was signed by Colangelo as a free agent, and he was beasting in Houston, now he sucks balls. so he's a bust then? bad signing perhaps or bad fit. but nowhere near a bust.
also to indulge you, 80% of FA signings are busts... so the terminology is obsolete or non-sequitur
fyi i'm no lin hater. i want to see him do well, but he's playing like ass, for whatever reason you want to pull out to defend him.
and no, i didn't make up the term. google it yourself, "free agent signing bust"
for example, until lately, mario williams was considered a massive free agent signing bust in buffalo.
fyi lowry wasn't signed by colangelo, he was traded there. but let's say he was signed there for a lucrative contract and he was unable to live up to it because of chronic injury. yes, that would be considered a free agent bust. but it's too early to tell if he will be perpetually injured, just like it's too early to call lin a free agent signing bust
like i said in the original post. i said he needs to turn it around, which is absolutely true.
