Same with Ben McLemore. As the 7th pick, if he becomes J.R. Smith in this draft, is that a bust? I'd say that's a decent comparison and that wouldn't be a bust...

I just don't like Noel..I don't think he has the offensive game to be worth a damn.

lhslep134;1676756 wrote:Agreed. I'm not high on Noel either. But his defense is a strong utility and big men take longer to develop offensively than any other position. He's also only a rookie dude, the other people you're comparing him to have a huge advantage in having already played a year.

Azubuike24;1676706 wrote:Define bust? He was a 6th pick, had a devastating injury to rehab from and is on an awful team. Will he ever be an all star? I don't think so. Could be become someone like Tyson Chandler? A 12 and 10 guy who will block shots, get a few assists and steals? Sure.

Also, comparing him to guys taken ahead of him, Cody Zeller, Otto Porter and Anthony Bennett and a vast majority of that draft, does he get that label still?

Commander of Awesome;1676775 wrote:lol yes. I actually got into a discussion with a co worker before this season and he brought up Burke. I lol'd and said he's trash and the co worker got all butt hurt. Thanks for reminding me that I need to bring it up again.

And yes, I get annoyed when people point out my mistakes. But the easy solution is to not make mistakes.

But even if he sucks and everyone else in the draft sucks doesn't make it inaccurate to call him a bust.

SportsAndLady;1676794 wrote:I probably would hVe been better off saying he isn't going to be very good in the NBA.

lhslep134;1676790 wrote:BTW I hate this entire exercise. One or two (or three) seasons is way too early to make any definitive statements about any player. Especially big men.

Porter is going to be a really good pro...I doubt you'd say 'no thanks' to him 45 days ago.
