This Year's Rookie Class Is Draft Busts Galore

1. Blake Griffin: He hasn't played, but I have a feeling that he would make Greg Oden and Michael Beasley look like superstars.

2. Hasheem Thabeet: In addition to having a funny name. Thabeet looks like he doesn't know how to play basketball averaging a whooping 0.6 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. (4 points in 42 total minutes). He makes Robert Swift looks like a superstar.

3. James Harden: Harden is quite impressive shooting 36% from the field while averaging 5.7 points and hasn't score in double figures in any game. He couldn't even crack the Thunder starting lineup. What a beast. Maybe Dajuan Wagner wasn't so bad after all.

4. Tyreke Evans: Evans is the new ballhog point guard of the NBA. Too bad he shoots and passes even worse than Stephon Marbury in his rookie year.

5. Ricky Rubio: The shorter version of Fran Vazquez. Where art thou Fran Vazquez? The Magic need you so much that they made it to the finals without you.

6. Jonny Flynn: Another shooting guard stuck in a point guard's body. Has anyone heard of a point guard who averages more turnovers than assists? You got your man. Poor Ramon Sessions. You have star potential, but teams only see you as a former 2nd round pick.

7. Stephen Curry: Another ballhog stuck in a point guard's body. Too bad he can't shoot like daddy Dell Curry. He is rightfully benched tonight.

8. Jordan Hill: Jordan Hill makes Jerome James and Michael Olowokandi look like superstars.

9. DeMar Derozan: The man is a starting shooting guard averaging less than 5 points a game. What a star in the making.

10. Brandon Jennings: I'll give him a pass. He looks like a decent player.

11. Terrence Williams: My man Terrence graduated from Louisville in 4 years, so not a lot of upside here. His 35% shooting makes Shane Battier proud.

12. Gerald Henderson: He looks like the second coming of Trajan Langdon. Huge bust. Why didn't Michael Jordan select a Tar Heel? Ty Lawson could be had.

13. Tyler Hansbrough: I haven't seen enough. Give him a pass here.

14. Earl Clark: Earl Clark and last year first round pick Robin Lopez are truly the heart and soul of the Suns with Clark averaging 2.5 points 2.2 rebounds (33% shooting) and Lopez averaging 3.2 points last season (yet to play this year).

15. Austin Daye: He isn't that bad in limited action. I'll give him a pass for now.

16. James Johnson: He's such a big part of the team's future that he hasn't gone off the bench even though Tyrus Thomas (another bust) is injured.

17. Jrue Holiday: Conventional wisdom says the Sixers let go of Andre Miller, so Jrue Holiday could get playing time. So far, the only playing time he will get is in the D-League.

18. Ty Lawson: He looks decent. Pass for now.

19. Jeff Teague: Amazing shooter at 34%. At least he's not turning the ball over like Flynn and Evans. Mike Woodson is begging to play him, but he's not giving dear coach the chance.

20. Eric Maynor: Maynor is so highly regarded that undrafted rookie Wesley Matthews is ahead of him in the rotation. His 1.6 points per game speaks for itself.

21. Darren Collison: On a team that lacks depth, Collison was so impressive that he failed to crack the rotation. He's currently the 3rd point guard behind Chris Paul and the career 38% shooting, 1.7 assist Bobby Brown.

22. Victor Claver: Another Fran Vazquez clone.

23. Omri Cassipi: His free throw shooting makes Chris Dudley, Bruce Bowen, and Shaquille O'Neal look like Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, and Steve Nash.

24. Byron Mullen: The second coming of Robert Swift.

25. Rodrigue Beaubois: I haven't seen him play enough. Pass for now.

26. Taj Gibson: Decent return this late in the first round. Pass for now.

27. DeMarre Carroll: Despite being a big part of the rotation, Carroll is shooting 31% from the field. It's good to see that he is making the most of his chances.

28. Wayne Ellington: Ellington is a pure shooter who has a knack of missing shots. He's shooting 31% so far despite healthy playing time and couldn't even hit his free throws.

29. Toney Douglas: He's been all right. I'll give him a pass for now.

30. Christian Eyenga: The second coming of Joel Freeland.

Let's compare it to other recent bust galore recent drafts.

1. Derrick Rose: His jumpshot is suspect and his defense is horrible, but since no one is better than him in his pool, I'll give the Bulls prop for choosing the right guy.

2. Michael Beasley: This guy is truly a beast. He takes shots like he is the go-to guy, doesn't take charge or play defense, hardly ever draw fouls or contacts, not to mention he is a power forward who doesn't rebound or block shots.

3. O.J. Mayo: Mayo is a poor man Wally Szczerbiak. Ballhog, good shooter, doesn't draw fouls, perennial loser.

4. Russell Westbrook: Yes, he's turnover prone and he's shooting percentage is pathetic, but let's just say he's better than Rajon Rondo and Rondo just cashed in. I'll give him a pass.

5. Kevin Love: Love is the epitome of role player. He is the white Brendan Haywood minus the shot blocking prowess.

6. Danilo Gallinari: A ballhog who loves taking 3's. If he can develop an all-around game, he could be a poor man's Michael Redd.

7. Eric Gordon: He seems all right. Pass for now.

8. Joe Alexander: Third year option declined. Nuff said.

9. D.J. Augustin: Shooting guard stuck in point guard's body. He constantly gets outrebounded by Allen Iverson and Chris Paul. He will never be a starter for a good team.

10. Brook Lopez: Not a bad pick. Pass

11. Jerryd Bayless: Steve Blake was starting ahead of him. STEVE BLAKE. He's now the 3rd string point guard behind Andre Miller and Blake.

12. Jason Thompson: Another poor man's Brendan Haywood minus the blocks.

13. Brandon Rush: Compare to Brandon Rush, Dahntay Jones looks like Kobe Bryant.

14. Anthony Randolph: He can block some shots. Pass for now.

15. Robin Lopez: His 3.2 points per game and poor rebounding stats speak for themselves.

16. Marrese Speights: He's all right. Pass for now.

17. Roy Hibbert: His fouling prowess makes Greg Oden look like Shaquille O'Neal.

18. JaVale McGee: He seems like an okay role player. Pass for now.

19. J.J. Hickson: Hickson makes Anderson Varejao look like Tim Duncan.

20. Alexis Ajinca: He's the second coming of Saer Sene. A 7-footer who shot 38% in his career.

21. Ryan Anderson: He's an awesome shooter. Pass for now.

22. Courtney Lee: He's clearly overrated and is already 24 (to put that in perspective, he's older than Dwight Howard.) He's a good defender, but he shouldn't be starting and taking so many shots for the Nets. He's shooting 31% since leaving the Magic.

23. Kosta Koufos: Another big man who is the second coming of Jarron Collins.

24. Serge Ibaka: The second coming of Saer Sene.

25. Nicolas Batum: A poor man's Thabo Sefolosha. A good defender and role player. Pass for now.

26. George Hill: pass for now

27. Darrell Arthur: For a man his size, he's shooting is pathetic. He doesn't draw fouls either.

28. Donte Greene: Already on his way out of the league.

29. D.J. White: He deserves more playing time. He looks decent last season in limited action. Pass for now.

30. J.R. Giddens: He's on his way out of the league.
