I remember the hype being "Does MJ really know what he's doing taking a HS player at #1?" sort of stuff. Sure he's a bust at the moment, and he's likely never going to amount to his potential. I guess my point is that we should wait until someone's career has a real definition to it before we label them as a success or failure.

Re: Biggest busts ever, NFL / MLB / NBA
Emtman and Carter both got hurt. Bruce was chosen as sort of a stab in the dark in a very poor draft year. Mandarich definitely deserves some props - the rest of the top five in that class were Troy Aikman, Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas and Deion Sanders. Ware's just another spread QB that got exposed - Detmer, Klinger, Couch, etc.

Re: Biggest busts ever, NFL / MLB / NBA
NFL - Tony Mandarich. Leaf was just another QB bust among many others in the late 90s. He wasn't hyped that much more than Akili Smith or Heath Shuler or Rick Mirer or any of these other guys. Mandarich was supposed to redefine the tackle position in the NFL. People said he was the best offensive line prospect ever and he washed out after a few seasons.
