    It gets no better than Mr. Chievous.

    But the eighties has its fair share of doosies. Steve Harris anyone,

    I loved McCray, but before Drexler. That had to be a mistake.

    Blade? I remember the headline in the Post "Buck Stops Here."

    Som more that deserve mention are Mirsad Turkcan, Terry Teagle, and for goodness sake how could we forget Ralph? I could careless injuries ended his career. That guy had more hype around him than Shaq did and maybe just a little less than LeBron and he was traded within 4 years:confused: :confused:

    If Ming were TRADED before this contract is up due to performance, that would be a BUST!

    Alec Kessler. Dude was a lottery pick.

    At least Chevious and Jamerson played for us a couple of years.

    Kessler never played here, he was traded to Utah for Dave Jamerson and Carl Herrera on draft night.

    No biggie, he would have taken Jamerson's spot. He was every bit the bust Jamerson was. ;)

    John Turner was literally the worst player I have ever seen suit up in the NBA. Hands of stone for sure and for real.

    I still cut Chevious some slack over Jamerson because he had a realtively decent rookie year. Jamerson was just purely overmatched the minute he stepped onto an NBA court.

    sorry... don't know jamerson or chevious... but i do know mirsad turkan. if it had to be in the past 10 years, i'd cast my vote for that guy.
    but then again, i never really expected much from him and was pissed when they drafted him over rashard lewis. i guess that doesn't make him a 'favorite' nor a true 'bust' from my POV. ARG! what was CD thinking in that draft? 3 first rounders in the 'teens and NONE of them panned out well.. it's like there was a contest between the three of them over who would bust first.. i guess all three of them are up for nomination

    No brainer: Dickerson, Drew, Turckan all over Rashard. Now, I'll cut the Rockets some slack for takin Dickerson, Drew was questionable, but selecting Turckan is the second stupidest decision the franchise ever made.

    What's the worst?













    As if you didn't already know...drafting Dan Langhi hahahaha:D
