Fallen Angels

Looking back at Tyson’s stints and stats at other places before he came here, he was a disappointment wrt where he was drafted but was definitely not a bust. 

Risacher and Jett Howard are certified busts. Top picks who the team didn’t even give a 2nd contract.

Agreed, except Risacher isn't there yet. He's still on his first contract. I think TY is kind of a good model for what might be possible with Risacher in a way. 

Chicago drafted him on the same night they drafted Eddy Curry, and the plan seemed to have been to make Chandler a 4 (lolololol) to Curry's 5. Chandler was FOR SURE a disappointment relative to those "be like Rasheed Wallace" kind of expectations, but after some early injury problems, by the time he was in New Orleans with Chris Paul he was one of the top vertical spacers and defensive centers in the league. 

Risacher MIGHT end up having a similar impact as a long, talented "3&D PLUS." You just have to drop any notion of him ever looking like a #1 pick out of the conversation.
