Everybody was screaming for Kwame Brown who is a #1Bust and had like a 7pt 7reb season.

That said, I have not seen him play but 7'3 is huge, how bad is he compared to Aaron Gray?

Ah, now the rest of your post makes sense

The guy is a system player. He can block shots on the NBA level, he cant create his own offense of any kind. What he can do is catch some ooops and grab some boards, but he needs someone in his ear motivating him and telling him what to do all the time. Its alot to invest in a back up type of center. If someone was willing to invest the time in him, he'd be a really solid back up center imo. Uconn ran set plays for him and just let him go nuts blocking shots inside. Calhoun was all over the guy though, the NBA doesnt have the same type of support system.

As others have said, easiest bust to call of all time.


Was not a wasted draft pick. They were able to have Shane Battier for the playoffs.

Nothing is worse than Eddy Curry. That being said, I'd sign him for the minimum and let him practive with Chandler and Jordan. You can never have enough big bodies to throw at good Cs like Dwight.
