The only reason I'll say he's a bust is when he came out for the draft, the medical evaluations showed some issues that could lead to problems.

like one leg being noticably shorter than the other.
The wrist issue is a non-factor. But like Simmons said in his pre-draft column...anytime you have a potential Olajuwon/Shaq/Robinson type center at the top as the expected choice...you have to take him.
Even if you fear it's the wrong choice.
I say he's a bust mainly for the reason that his failings had a basis at the time of the draft.
It's not an Albert Belle who was the reigning Iron Man at teh time of his contract signing and then had to retire 2 years later when his hip degenerated. There was nothing to indicate the problem.
