Following potential 2013 draftees

@Cy

Considering the strength of the class, the players selected just before or just after, and the team environment/opportunity to play, and their age, who has under-performed?

Rondo at #21?
Tayshaun Prince at #23?
Wall at #1?
Cousins at #5?
Bledsoe at #18?
Patterson at #14?
Knight at #8?

I'll give you Orton.

The players in bold are not lottery picks, if you didn't know. And ironically will probably have better careers than any of the lottery picks.

Wall has underperformed
Cousins also has underperformed, evidence that the Kings are exploring trade options (according to you)
Patterson sucks, but he was picked with the last lottery pick, so I can't really say he has failed to meet expectations.
Knight is looking alright.

So, re-shuffle the draft.. who would you, right now, choose ahead of Wall? Cousins? (since you've narrowed down your over-generalized original statement to two players)

I wouldnt say anyone other than Orton is a bust, and he was obviously going to be a bust. You have to hate hard to call any of these anything close to a bust.

Definitely not calling any of them bust, just saying underperformed relative to expectations. I think UK players do this more, probably due to the fact they get hyped up more, than most other schools.

Thanks. In fairness, Cy didn't say bust, he said under-performed. I still say he's dead wrong.
Now, one could say Wall has yet to match the hype .. I could get behind that.
