as In Walks Rudy states, Chandler and Crawford (especially Chandler) are not bust. They may not be as good as their draft position, but both guys have been productive on multiple teams for a while now.

I find it hard to call Jay Williams a bust too, because he got unexpectedly injured. Although, by far, the Bulls got the least out of Jay Williams and he had the most hype.

Curry performed well enough as a bull to be a valuable trade chip, and then netted even more in the trade.

A bust is someone who doesn’t provide value to his team and Curry paid off in spades.

Jay williams is the only one who didn’t provide value, but I don’t know if a career ending injury belongs in the same discussion as being without skill like Fizer.

Curry is far from a bust, very incomplete as a player but not a bust.

Fizer is the only legitimate Bulls bust.

Morrison…now that is a bust. How did he get picked so high…

Smith is not a bust, he’s never became a star but not all #1 picks do. He contributed for every team he ever played on.

Brown and Milicic are both still in the league b/c they can both provide defensive value. Both suck offensively but Kwame has become an above average post defender and Milicic can block shots. If you are tall and can play D, you will always have a job in the NBA

He crushed us his pick set us back pretty far. The Tyrus Thomas draft night fiasco was pretty bad I knew LaMarcus would of fit in better instantly with the corpse but the fact that Tyrus and Noah were actually had for a #3 pick I cant say that hurt the team the most because Noah is best out of the 3 but having Noah and LaMarcus alongside of Derrick Rose would of been sweet.

Redd was a second round pick that year. Bulls had 6 picks in one of the worst drafts of recent memory.

Old schooler’s will appreciate the following names from the championship years: (all first rounders!)
Corey Benjamin 1998
Keith Booth 1997
Travis Knight 1996
Mark Randall 1991

I know that none of these guys were high picks… but they were all busts, and each year there were other quality guys we could have drafted.

Biggest bust (after Fizer) from a high round pick is Stacy King in 1989. We wasted a #6 pick on him and he was a career backup. He was OK, but we got BJ later in the draft and he had a longer career. Others drafted after King and before Armstrong were: Nick Anderson, Mookie Blaylock, Tim Hardaway, Dana Barros, Shawn Kemp…. Divac was drafted at the end of the first round and we drafted Jeff Sanders instead! Oops.

Pre-Jordan, Sidney Green was a #5 draft choice in ‘83… and major bust! Quinton Dailey was drafted #7 the year before… There were other REALLY bad picks in the late 70’s-early 80’s. But I don’t really remember watching any of them, so I can’t really comment on them…

Our beloved Bullies have a lot of bad picks in there! But then again, so do most other teams.

Doesn’t really deserve a mention in an all time list. Heck he’s been a billion times better than Kwame #1 Brown….would have been nice if he was Pau Gasol, but Chandler when healthy is a VERY GOOD role playing big time elite defender….just ain’t healthy enough.

He’s every bit as solid as Okafor, but doesn’t have the UCONN name behind him….and while Okafor scores more, he also forces a lot of shots that would be better suited going to more gifted offensive talents. Chandler’s more athletic and the better defender of the 2….
