This is how Marvin should spend his summer...

Marvin should do this.

I betcha if Marvin could do this during the summer, he'd stop being so clumsy.

That's funny. Baron got skillz.

Diesel, if you send Marvin the roller skates, I'll throw in one of these!

I'm curious as to how hawksquawk would rank the all time biggest busts. This could incite a huge flame war as I'm sure the placement of Marvin would be highly debated, but I'm curious anyway.

Is Kwame in the running for #1? What about the Kandi Man? Bowie? Darko? Bender?

Also, are there two different measures?

1) The Bowie/Marvin "opportunity cost" measure. This has more to do with who wasn't picked rather than who was picked. Let's pretend Marvin become an All Star one day but Chris Paul's a hall of famer. In and of itself, Marvin is not a bust. Considering what we missed, the pick is a HUGE bust.

2) The truly bad player measure. Regardless of who you could have picked, the guy you picked is terrible and never amounted to anything.

There's a definite distinction there, so 2 separate lists may be appropriate.

Here are some links I found quickly:

Jay Williams brings up a possible third category - the injury bust. Maybe it was a great pick, but bad luck just screwed it all up.

I would throw Bowie into the injury bust category too. It really wasn't a bad pick at the time. Here's some interesting info most people don't know or remember (besides maybe AHF).

Absolutely, and frankly Jordan wasn't Jordan until he hit the pro game. He always had the competitive drive, but he didn't have the game. His ridiculous work ethic, fueled by his drive, made him what he became.
