20th anniversary of this incident a few weeks ago.

Based on what he has accomplished. 8 points a game through his first 2 years, terrible shooter. As a 2nd round pick, that would be good - for a high lottery pick, not so much.

Yeah but at 20 years old you cannot be considered a bust starting and averaging 8.5 and 5 so far. He's freaking 4 years younger then Grant Gibbs lol.

Especially when he's listed as the only 1 with Daniel Orton? And there is a huge list of "role guys" making much smaller impacts then he is.

How in gods name is Kidd-Gilchrist a bust?

I put him there because he was picked 2nd overall. If he had been outside the top five, I would say he would be just fine.

Im the opposite. I hate the one and done but I dont think you should force kids to stay. Instead let them enter the draft right out of high school. Let them decide if theyre good enough that way they will get to play in the NBA right away like they want to and you also have kids staying for more years in college.

The NBA has legitimate reasons why they don't want to draft out of high school.  You really can't do much about it if you are the NCAA without some sort of working arrangement with the NBA.

True. I just don't think at 20 you can consider a guy still starting a bust. Disappointing so far is definitely an accurate assessment though.

Because their GMs are morons who would continuously sink their own ships searching for "potential" and the next superstar?

I think it is incredibly difficult to scout high school level talent.  Why not let them play up a level first and see what they can do?

It's easy to spot the most talented players - it's the player's understanding of the game and the potential for development that are the hard part.
