He was a top ten pick I believe and only last a couple years with the Celts. Knee troubles and terrible defense (possibly linked to the knee troubles?) did him in. One of my all-time favorite BYU guys though.

This one has a Ute and no Cougs. #truth

It wasn't that McGill couldn't cut it in the NBA

That doesn't disqualify his bust status. See Greg Oden.

Blueto

4/16/14 9:54am

I agree that doesn't disqualify him. I was responded to the comment

Darko. the end.

Bogut is at least bottom 3 #1 picks in the last 14 years.

Admiral Ackbar

4/16/14 9:51am

Basically averaging a double-double over his career.

*When he's not out injured.

Admiral Ackbar

4/16/14 10:01am

Yeah, and? He still is who he is.

southernfriedcougar

4/16/14 10:04am

Who's worse?

Admiral Ackbar

4/16/14 10:06am

#1 picks since 2000?

Mr Bassman

4/16/14 10:11am

Statistically Bargnani and Bogut are probably a wash.

Admiral Ackbar

4/16/14 10:14am

Also

*3 seasons. And Greg Oden "almost" averaged doubles-doubles too.

With the benefit of hindsight, where do you think he should

Also with the benefit of hindsight, where should Araujo gone in the 2004 draft?

AndyDwyer

4/16/14 10:29am

Bennett, Oden and Kwame all worse

Mr Bassman

4/16/14 9:59am

and Bargnani probably wasn't worth a #1 pick

Mr Bassman

4/16/14 10:01am

Bogut shouldn't have been the first pick

This puts your T-Mac/Melo comments into perspective

CoopDizz

Bradley's status as a bust is vastly overstated

CoopDizz

4/16/14 9:51am

I agree, he doesn't belong on that list.

mpfunk

4/16/14 9:55am

Exactly. Busts don't last in the NBA for 12 years (69 games/year).

KingDave

4/16/14 9:56am

This for sure

jhingman

4/16/14 9:59am

Was going to say that. A guy in the league for 14 years. Not a bust.

If a list includes Bradley, then it should also include Keith Van Horn.

AndyDwyer

4/16/14 10:01am

Yeah but he was on the cover of NBA Jam '99

southernfriedcougar

4/16/14 10:02am

Except that Van Horn had a much better NBA career

mpfunk

4/16/14 10:07am

I generally like Van Horn, and didn't realize he had a season he averaged 20+ppg

AndyDwyer

4/16/14 10:25am

KVH had a good NBA career; definitely not a bust.

Supposedly he showed up to his first training camp 20 lbs overweight and with

Mrs_BigD

4/16/14 10:07am

Interesting. He is a thin guy to this day. I wonder if the stress fractures

Big Daddy D

4/16/14 10:12am

In retrospect he should have turned pro after his junior season. He carried

BYU is the 2nd-best team in the country at turning players into draft picks

If the list includes Shawn Bradley. the author is stupid!
