Too Bad These 10 Biggest NBA Draft Busts Didn’t Deliver as Expected

Larue Martin, No1., 1972, Trail Blazers

Larue Martin has long been considered as the one of the biggest NBA draft busts. He was picked first in a class, which included future Hall of Famers Bob McAdoo and Julius Erving. He was drafted as a center by the Trail Blazers on the ground of his outplaying Bill Walton in the NCAA. The Trail Blazers also drafted Walton in 1974. During his best season, he had 7 points per game, shooting 0.452 from the field. He tallied these numbers while Walton was sidelined with injuries.
