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

Sam Bowie, No. 2, 1984, Trail Blazers

The 7 ft., 1 inch center was drafted by the Trail Blazers in 1984, ahead of future Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. Admittedly, everyone in the 1984 draft fails in comparison with Jordan. However, in a career from 1984 to 1995, he played for 3 teams. He was dogged by injuries through most of his career, with most of his problems starting in high school.
