Big Country was not a bust. He averaged 16 pts and 8 boards per game in his first 3 seasons, and had a 41 pt game. Injuries and chronic back pain got him after that. He gave it up after 6 seasons. Can't say I blame him with fools calling him a bust. Hard for me to label these big men as busts. Their bodies are just far more prone to serious injuries that never heal, and that's not their fault.

Shawn bradley wasn't a bust he was drafted way too high. He played 1 year of college ball and then went on Mormon mission for 2 years. Other than blocking shots his one year was not really that memorable. I don't think he was expected to be an all star- he was a big gamble just because of his size. He should have been a late first round or 2nd round pick and his 12 year career would have been considered fine.

Anyone who calls Shawn Bradley or Joe Smith a bust doesn't know what they're talking about.
