Was wondering this. Furthermore, what players who are currently considered busts do you think could still become stars?

Zach Randolph
George Muresan - not a star, but became productive.

Haven't watched enough years of NBA to know the first question but for the second I still have faith in Greg Oden

I don't really know. Like guy above said though I'm hoping Greg Oden can come back strong

@bold: Yeah, I want to believe too. If the recent reports are right and he really has been rehabbing for 2+ years straight, I have some faith. Originally Posted by KyrieTheFuture

Wasn't Dirk considered a bust at first?

Steve Nash, I don't know much about what was expected of him, but I've never seen a player that took so long to start who became as good as he did. Steve Nash might have the best fundamentals of any player ever.

Re: What players were written off as busts, but eventually proved to be otherwise?
He was not a bust though. At the very least before he came back to Phoenix, he was a good player. Though I never envision him winning MVPs, I expect him to be a decent NBA player when he led the Santa Clara upset of UCLA. I did not see the game but based on what Bruins staffs were saying, he was pretty good. Fundamentally, he's up there with the likes of Bird and Stockton. Originally Posted by ZenMaster

That's a good one, but it seemed to me people were pretty quick to call him a bust. Wonder how he'll do next year. Originally Posted by tikay0

Steve Nash wasn't even a lotto pick.
The correct answers are Tyson Chandler and Chauncey Billups.

Yeah, Chandler's a good choice, and Billups as well. Jermaine Oneal? Originally Posted by RRR3
