Darko for sure. But i don't think he was a bigger bust then Kwame or Kandi.

Darko definitely would have been there if it weren't for Kwame and the Kandi Man, hes 6th man
I was real close to adding these 2 F: Jonathan Bender - 1999 C/PF: Nikoloz Tskitishvili - 2002 but again, no spot
Joe Smith sorta cuz he went #1 overall which was a bad pick, but hes still goin strong in the NBA after all these years. And idk what ur thinking about Dunleavy, maybe he went a little high but hes had a solid NBA career.

wagner is a bust due to injury whereas the other guys just suck. i think stro is one of the biggest busts. he had all the athletic ability to be a dominant PF unfortunately he has the basketball IQ of a rock. just about the entire class of 2000 is a bust.
also Rafael Araujo eventhough people knew he would suck, and robert traylor because of the dirk trade

I looked up Joe Smith, and while he's wasn't worth the best player in the draft, he's played pretty well, sometimes very well, and for a long time.

Kwame Brown and Joe Smith have had pretty similar careers excluding the first 3 seasons when Joe Smith was starting on an awful Warriors team and doing pretty well. Sure Joe Smith has done a little better, and doesn't deserve a starting spot on the all bust team - but he deserves consideration.
Also, Mike Dunleavy has averaged 12.5 ppg in 30 minutes for his career. Darius Miles has averaged 10.2 ppg in 26.5 minutes.
Again, maybe Miles is worse especially considering the past few seasons - but he's not bad enough to completely dismiss someone like Dunleavy.

Those 3 were at least effective for a time (Daniels still is). They weren't worth where they were picked but they're not even close to the class of Tskitishvili, Milicic, Swift, and Bender.
Also Livingston is 23 years old and trying to make his way back from a ridiculous injury...can't label him anything definitively yet.
Ndudi Ebi, Yaroslav Korolev anyone?
