When NBA Draft-and-Stash Doesn't Work

Draft-and-stash has been put in play for NBA teams for awhile now. Trying to find the next great international talent that could turn into an Antetokoumnpo caliber player. However, in recent years, using a draft-and-stash for a first round pick has not been the move. Today I'm going to show you 8 players who were busts in the NBA after playing overseas the season they were drafted.

Have you established that "draft-and-stash" doesn't work, or that late first round draft picks don't usually have great careers?

[@walkingtheline3379]

@@Samson-h6l I think what I was establishing was that the first round draft-and-stashes haven't work, in the timeframe I used. Because draft-and-stash has definitely worked with certain 2nd rounders. Just no first rounders really in 2010's & 2020's

There's only so many prospects a team can fit onto the roster. Part of the decision to draft and stash Yabu and Zizic was the 2016-2017 Celtics wanted to give one last year to RJ Hunter, Jordan Mickey, and James Young; none of them became rotation players. When they did bring Yabu over, the team had more vets and higher expectations so he couldn't earn the minutes he needed to improve.
