True - I knew what he meant by OP though. I guess I'm special :lol:


You are correct. Not a DRAFT bust, but a bust relative to the expectations put on him after early flashes. Theres levels to this.

No. Unless you mean there are levels as in Yes is a level and No is a level. Other than that, NO! Kuzma is not a bust in any way shape or form.

Let's go deeper than this, he's not a DRAFT bust, or an EARLY FLASHES bust, but he is a bust when considering THIRD YEAR PLAYERS THAT HAVE BIRTHDAYS IN JULY kind of bust.
I mean you were honestly trolling with that weren't you? I admit, it's late, I'm struggling to figure out in this thread who is trolling at what not, but hey!

Many people wanted to keep Kuzma over Ingram Ball and everyone not named Lebron. Kuzma hasn't lived up to those expectations, no matter how outrageous they were. So relative to those expectations, he hasn't lived up.

Kuzma is not a bust by any means. He was selected late in the first round and exceeded expectations as a Rookie. He is still a solid rotation guy.

I saw signs of improvement vs Raps. His ideal role is off the bench though.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Don't Knick/Laker prospects always get overhyped a little? And therefore are more likely to be deemed busts? Be a late first round pick for the Kings or Jazz and have a few breakout games and nobody notices. Do the same as a Knick or Laker, and fans/media start talking about you like you're the future of the franchise.
