Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

He was drafted No. 2 overall in the 2001 draft. His career averages are

8.7ppg
9.0rpg
1.5bpg

I know he has recently rejuvenated his career and made the all star team some how this season averaging 12/11 and won DPOY last year.

What do you make of Tyson Chandler? Bust or not?

Re: Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

not a bust imo.

Re: Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

He is a defensive anchor of a championship team, defensive player of the year, starter of USA team, what do you think?

Re: Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

Not every draft can have Lebron/Wade/Melo, hell most of them nowadays don't have as much talent as they used to.

This whole "bust" shit is getting out of hand, every #1-2 pick that isn't some Top 25 GOAT talent is labeled a bust for some reason.

Re: Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

Yes but he was non existent for the first 10 years of his career. People are quick to label players drafted in the lottery a bust after the first 2-4 years of their career. If you only look at Chandlers first 10 years i'd say he was a bust but if you look at the last 2 years he was a decent player so that is why i started this discussion.

Have you seen that '01 draft pool? Probably one of the worst drafts in history.

Re: Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

He wasn't non existent, he was solid.

Chandler
Gasol
Parker
G.Wallace
J.Johnson
R.Jefferson
J.Richardson
Zach Randolph
Shane Battier

Some good players in this draft.

And don't forget Gilbert Arenas (even though he's a loose cannon)

Re: Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

pun intended? :lol

Re: Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

You mean loose gun

If Tyson Chandler is a bust, then what would Kwame be called?

Re: Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

the GOAT

Re: Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

ok, lets say he was solid, but his numbers in his first 10 years dont reflect a #2 picks numbers. I am not hating on Chandler but if I asked you 3 years ago if he was a bust you wouldn't hesitate to say yes.

Re: Is Tyson Chandler a bust?
 

Numbers tell only 1/2 of the story and simple defining his whole career on numbers is dumb as hell.
