Likely Bust From The 2019 NBA Draft Class
Jarrett Culver has yet to make an impact in the NBA.
Coby White, a 6.5ft tall guard for the Chicago Bulls, averaged 4.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 15.1 points per game in his rookie year of 2019. However, Lonzo Ball’s arrival to the team in 2021 saw a decrease in Coby White’s playing time to 17 games from 31 games that season. In 9 games played this season, Ball has produced 6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. ..
NBA future legend KZ Okpala has turned out to be a big bust. A complete waste of talent if you may. Okpala was picked as a future NBA legend due to his impressive sophomore year stats, but he has since failed to live up to expectations. His conversion rate from shots from outside the arc is low, and he struggles around the basket. He also only grabs 7 rebounds per 40 minutes, which is not enough for an NBA player. ..
Jaxson has been a journeyman in the NBA, playing for 8 different teams over 3 years. He was picked out of Texas University and traded to the Pelicans. Jaxson has not had a great career so far, averaging 3.3 rebounds and 5.9 points per game in 19 games played. With Willy Hernangomez and Jonas Valanciunas on the Pelicans, it is unlikely that he will see playing time increase compare to theirs.
Nasir Little, a 25th-round pick in the 2019 NBA draft, had an epic fall. He played one season for North Carolina and averaged 26.9 percent of his three-point shots with an accuracy of 47.8 percent. He also averaged 9.8 points and played 18.2 minutes per game. Little is still a huge question mark as his abilities in defense and offense are still a mystery. ..
Conclusion
Some rookies are still struggling to make the cut in the first team due to their sub-par performances. Some have been making a front in their careers, while others are still struggling to make the cut.
Bol Bol, a 2020 draft pick, has shown potential in his performances thus far. ..
Zion Williams is a complete sham and it is unlikely that he will improve anytime soon. He has no talent and cannot play football at any level.
