Swing and a Miss! Ten Massive New York Sports Draft Busts
For every draft boom, there is a draft bust.
The term "draft bust" will automatically bring at least one or two names to mind for every sports fan across the world. Whether it's a can't-miss prospect for your favorite team, or a high-profile college athlete that the world was watching, a player going from "boom" to "bust" is a tale as old as time.

With that being said, here are ten such players, and the tales of their rise and fall in the Empire State.
