I say a tie between Brook Lopez and Kevin Love.

I don't see Lopez being a bust..I actually think he could be a steal at #10..

Kevin Love IMO, he's gonna be the biggest bust..

Lopez is such a stiff to me.

I could see why somebody would think he's going to be a bust..I wouldn't be surprised if he is or anything, I just don't think he will be..also because I don't have huge expectations for him..I think he could be a good #3 option at some point in his career..

I would never draft a 3rd option at number 10.

that's the problem then..not everybody can be a star, and there are plenty of "busts" every year in the top 10..people just have to lower their expectations for some of these dudes..

I never have liked Kevin Love, and always thought he was gonna be a bust. So that's my pick...

The main thing is I don't even think he is a good 3rd option. He looked so unimpressive at Standford.

If he follows the footsteps of his fellow countrymen, Danilo Gallinari is my pick.

If you get a solid third option with the 10th pick in a bad draft you're well ahead of the curve.
