    I have a somewhat controversial one. In 2001, my Charlotte Sting took Kelly Miller with the #2 pick. Miller wasn't a terrible player by any means but never started a game for us and we missed out on some very good players that were drafted after her. We could have gotten Tamika Catchings at 3, Ruth Riley at 5. Deanna Nolan at 6, Marie Ferdinand at 8, Katie Douglas at 10, or Penny Taylor at 11. People tend to forget how good this draft was because almost all of the focus was on Lauren Jackson.

    • @HunterCruse14
      @HunterCruse14  หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      Yeah, I’ve heard that the reason for the Miller pick over Catch was just the fact that the organization didn’t know if they’d have a team a year after the draft & Catch had to sit out the year with a torn ACL. Definitely one of the more awful picks looking back lol, but it would’ve been interesting to see Catch in a dispersal draft whew

    • @waldolydecker8118
      @waldolydecker8118 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Schimmel was dealing with issues off the court that had nothing to do with basketball. A true "bust" is somebody that has no extenuating circumstances, they just fail to improve their game. Schimmel showed she could play at an All Star level in the pros, but was mentally distracted by family, cultural issues. Real "busts" NEVER achieve an All Star level of performance..players like Coates and Collier and others never accomplished ANYTHING....that's a bust. On track to be a different kind of bust is Caitlin Clark - promoted as the Greatest Player of All TIme out of Iowa and already better than all WNBA players...Clark is on track to be the first over-all #1 draft choice in WNBA history to make her team have a worse record the year they drafted her than the team had the year before without her. No #1 over-all pick has ever led her team with the same players from last year to a worse record than they had the year before.

    To be fair a couple of these busts focused on playing overseas for more money and treated their lower paying career in the W as secondary. Diana almost went overseas exclusively after the 2015 season. Also it's hard to gage how some college players will transition to the W. There are a lot of very good forwards in college that are 5'11", in the W they are a guard. If you are under 6 foot in the W you are not going to be banging with the bigs and be successful in the long haul, but if you are also not fast and agile, you won't be a guard.

    Thanks Hunter 👍 It would Be Great if You did a Part 2 Covering more WNBA Busts. You could even perhaps Do like a Top 20 All Time WNBA Busts which Include more Recent years, just a thought. Lastly, I do like the Criteria you explained in Your Ranking Definitions of a Bust, which does Bring me to an Important Question for you Hunter if you can oblige. First abit of Detail before my question.
    Im a Nika Mühl Fan, Nika and Caitlin are My only 2 Faves, Truth. Nika is a very Good Player, known for Her Fierce Defense, which is already known about her, But she is truly good on Offense too, and I feel she is often overlooked for that, as thruout College Nika Could’ve easily had a much higher PPG But chose to Give Shot opportunity to Bueckers and others Because she likes to pass the ball around rather than shoot more. Nika is the All Time History Uconn Assist Record Holder. Overrall Nika Steals the Ball often, she is great at Rebounding even despite her 5’11” stocky build, she has great hands and incredible game vision, and a Tireless Fierceness.
    Recently, as you and many others likely know, Nika has not been able to play due to ridiculous Visa red tape issues that is so Unfair, which I and many other Nika Mühl Fans do not understand. My question Hunter is, if hypothetically Nika or any other Player for that matter, cannot Play for a prolonged period of time, due to such an Issue like a Visa, Where would you place that in your criteria of your Definition of a WNBA Bust or No Bust?
    Thank you Hunter

    • @HunterCruse14

    people have to be careful with word busts in the wnba ...very careful as some players don't get minutes...some players change roles to fit the team...plus developing and mental state of wnba is hard...i don't see CC as a bust ... i just hope everyone understands how good the talent is in the wnba and to stop disrespecting the talent ....also to stop and apologize with that media race war that was created

      Just strictly from a professional sports perspective, if you don't put up productive numbers you will be labeled a bust. WNBA is a professional sports league, they have busts

    I hate the term bust. Not the player's fault that the organization over evaluated their talent. The one player you mentioned that I did think had a chance to be decent was Lauren Cox.

    This video is a little subjective because the wnba has always been in a WIN now era and gave little chance for most of these girls to develop. Also until this year teams would only pick the “best available” and now the “best fit”

      @NorthElevation. Oddly enough Alaina Coates had a hardship contract and was on the Aces’ 2023 championship team with Plum. She’d hit the floor for a few minutes sometimes, but basically when camera shots of the bench were shown, that’s where you’d usually see her.
