Projected 2016 NBA Draft Busts

Years from now, most fans will refer to the 2016 NBA Draft as "the one with Ben Simmons." Generally speaking, we tend to remember the success or failure of the #1 overall pick. For me, however, I'll remember the 2016 Draft because of ESPN's entertaining telecast. My son and I already have running jokes about Jay Bilas' infatuation with wingspans and Lisa Salters' desire to ask cringe-worthy questions. The leading contender for future recognition as a Top 10 Bust is #4 pick Dragan Bender. Additionally, #10 pick Thon Maker seems poised to become a T10B Honorable Mention.

Top 10 Busted: Colin Kaepernick

Whether reading this post when written in Fall 2016 or at some later time, you likely recognize the image of Colin Kaepernick on one knee. Specifically, the 49ers quarterback single-handedly started a movement to kneel during our national anthem prior to the start of sporting events. Kaepernick presumably decided that his act of defiance would bring a voice to social injustice and oppression. While the message should be incontrovertible, the method has drawn much criticism. As such, the message unfortunately has taken a back seat to the messenger.

Top 10 Busted: Claims By Crooked Hillary

Sitting here on the eve of 2016 Presidential election, I can honestly say that I'm thankful that it's almost over. At this point, the only certainty is that American politics will never be the same. Unfortunately, instead of picking from the cream of the crop, we get to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Regardless of whether Crooked Hillary or Deplorable Donald wins the upcoming election, the next POTUS will have the highest unfavorable rating of any new President in history. While not excited about either candidate, I'll take crass over corrupt every time.
