Bagley and Carter Jr have underperformed. Also picked too high.
but not in "real time"
Bagley and Carter are kind of the new Curry and Chandler. They look the part, have size and talent, but something holding them back. Injuries and a chaotic organization for Bagley.
ECity flamed out but TyC became a respected strong vet. ...
Maybe one of them is the new Derrick Favors ...
I'm not a draftnik. Most years I'm just going by writeups and such. Some years I look at some highlight clips.
Usually the Top 10 busts are:
1) raw Big Men who either aren't motivated enough or just not up to snuff. Big Men still get picked too high (Bamba, Bender, Marq Chriss, Thon Maker, etc).
2) Athletic defensive wings who never can find an offensive game (MKG, Stan Johnson, Wes Johnson, Culver, Nkilitina, Mudiay, keeping an eye on Okoro). 2a) Maybe Franc and Mudiay represent a distinct subset, defenders projected as PG's who aren't PG's, and can't score as SG's need to).
3) 19 year olds who have a limited track record and/or injury concerns (Knox, Kwame Brown types).
Outside of blue chip territory (Top 5) PG's seem to be pretty hit or miss throughout the draft.
Generally wings, surprisingly including 2-way SF's, tend to go too low.
(Kawhi, Giannis, Paul George, Dray Green, Middleton, Danny Granger, etc)
