Now that's a lie. The Blazers didn't draft Bowie because they thought he was better. They drafted him so they could move Mychal Thompson to fill a gaping hole at PF. They not only had Drexler at Off Guard, they also had a perennial All Star in Jim Paxson. What were they going to do with three Shooting Guards? It was a very understandable positional selection

Bowie wasn't a bust, he just got hurt. He was amazingly talented.

@AHMAD-2324 Год назад

Amazingly talented...Uh HELL NO !!! Not averaging 13ppg and only 8rbs per Game in college as the first option. But I agree, he wasn't a BUST just didn't live up to his No. 2 overall pick. When your selected that high you're expected to lead a franchise to multiple Championships.

@thebestcentaur Год назад

I disagree. He’s a partial bust mainly because he was selected between two of the best ever, and he put up okay but pedestrian numbers when, as the post above me said, he was supposed to be a strong cornerstone of a franchise, if not outright lead them to the promised land. He will never be known as the worst player in NBA history, not by a long shot. But he qualifies as a bust IMO because of a combination of horrible luck and circumstances mostly beyond his own control (like injuries) when other players were turning their teams around

I could also agree that Danny Ferry wasn't starter material, but he was a very serviceable role player his entire career, even during the backend. it's fair to say that he didn't have an impact, but I also feel like there are a lot of players in that draft underperformed and also didn't have 917 games.

Bowie was no bust, only a fool would say that. a bust is player who plays and can't play or a player that wastes their talent. Bowie just got injured . he played ten years in the NBA on a broken leg that never fully healed

Stop calling players who were injury prone busts

Sam Bowie wasn't a star because his body the legs his freshmen year he was showing what future powerforwards would be like he could run jump shoot then on one dunk he landed and coach kept playing him when he should've rested

James Ray really 8.2 minutes a game how can anyone have success that is 2 minutes a quarter If he played the whole game that equivalent 16ppg 16rpg. Bill garnett was in a bad situation just like Harold miner on a team full of guards only playing 12min a game aka 3min a quarter. That is why Steve Francis left Vancouver too many guards there.

No big man legends in 1983? He might have not had a great career, but Ralph Sampson was one of the NCAA's best big men ever.

@georgebrown2175 2 года назад

So was Bill Walton. He doesn’t belong on the lists he was on because he only had one all star season. He was injured for years. Look up his stats. I saw his first college game. I knew right there UCLA would win more championships. His first game as a pro he had seven points and Kareem had fifty.

Sampson was a 4x all star and ROY as part of the Original twin towers....nowhere near a bust!!

Sampson was the college player of the year three years in a row 81-82-83 he developed chronic knee problems his 4th year in the NBA and it hampered him the rest of his career.

@Grief_Weasel 2 года назад

@@georgebrown2175 I will say that Sampson was more of a lead by his play sort of leader, he wasn’t a vocal guy but I saw him knuckle up against other players before in the NBA and fight.

Dude, you need to work on your pronunciation. Prince is pronounced Printz, not Princh. also you mispronounced many of the players names and even some team names. As far as the 80s, the only name I would add is Fennis Dembo from Wyoming.

English is not my native language. This channel was called PRPLPRNCH before I rebranded it to Purple Prince so there goes that. Thanks for the comment :)
