Dalen Terry
Johnny Davis
Patrick Baldwin Jr
RJ Hampton

Any of these? Putting 'bust' in quotes since they are still young.

Johnny Davis has an opportunity to carve out a Josh Hart type career after bouncing around a couple of times so I vote him.

Maybe Johnny Davis, if he can become a Danny Green type. I don't see him being that level of defender, so I'll say none. The other three guys are simply not good enough.

I'd probably go with Dalen Terry as a defensive guard off the bench. If he gets any consistency with his 3 he should be able to stick.

PBJ was drafted 28th. It's not a "bust" when you are taken that low it's the norm.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Well you had projected him as a 5 and it’s pretty clear he can’t play the 5

I still think he probably has to be a 5 because he's so slow.
