Why does Archie G come to mind when I read this ‘you just wait’ drivel. Hang on to those I told ya so cards, but keep in mind they do expire.
PS... I wrote this before reading Revived

Jimmy Butler comes to mind. A ton of guys actually. The odds of Jackson being a complete bust are low. To jump to the bust label any time a player plays bad is lazy and misinformed.
Yep a ton of players come to mind ... Anthony Bennett, Michael Beasley, Adam Morrison, Kwame Brown, Sam Bowie, Darko, Robert Swift, Danny Ferry, Joe Alexander, Alex Len, Todd Fuller, Eddy Curry, Jan Vesley, Jared Jefferies, Shawn Bradley, Johnathan Bender, Michael Olokawandi, Darius Miles
The list of top 10 pick failures goes on and on and on. See in my mind Jackson has next year to improve his shooting stroke because you can't have a SG/SF hitting only .551 on his free throws. A guy with those free throw numbers just can't stick around in the league unless he is a big man who can rebound and defend.
See what I mean ... they just don't stick around ...
