Not too many busts. Favors won't be a bust though. His bottom I think is Dun Jr. and his top potential is Super Star.

This is fun, but not totally accurate. Sean Elliot meant way more to the Spurs than AS appearances... Penny and Hills careers are injury affected... etc...

Heres hoping Favors is the real deal.
