 and it shouldnt matter who was picked after the bust... that shouldnt be a factor when deciding if a specific player is a bust. its the player that did poorly, it shouldnt matter how well someone who was picked after him did.  Well the players picked afterwards kind of tell about the quality of the draft. Usually these bust lists are composed of top picks, that didnt make it to stardom. No one is putting guys who were picked 00+ overall as top busts. But then you got a different talent level in each draft. A lot of guys that get picked in top five in a weak draft wouldnt have made it to top 00 in more talent crowded years.  And often the bust term is reference to a guy that was picked too high. E.g. Darko hasnt been that bad (after all he is still playing major minutes in the league), but was drafted before some allstars, making him a bad choice at the spot, but not necessarily a total failure as a player.
