What is Turner doing so much? He is C+/ B minus at most things but cant put it all together

I never said he was doing much.
I said people never truly anticipated much from him, even though he was a #2 pick. So, I don't really view him as a BUST.
Someone with HYPE/EXPECTATIONS that doesn't live up to it = Bust in my book.

Rose and Westbrook are basically on the same level to me. Same skill set and everything. Westbrook has a size advantage but I think Rose knows how to run a team better. If I had to choose I would take Rose. Westbrook be having too many dumb*** moments.

To be fair...alot of people thought Turner would struggle due to the speed of the game, athleticism issues, etc.
The main knock on Oladipo is that he isn't a good enough shooter/ballhandler to be a standout in the NBA but he's already in that upper echelon athletically. While I don't think he's Dwyane Wade...I don't think he's Tony Allen either. I think he will be a better scorer on the NBA level. He's "craftier" than people give him credit for.

Agreed. Just because a high draft pick doesn't turn out to be the next LeBron or Griffin or Kyrie doesn't automatically make them a "bust." It really depends on what people -- realistically -- thought their ceiling could be.

Are you reading your own words?
What has he or currently is doing to prove hes not a bust? People didn't expect much from him and so far they are right, therefore he is a bust. IF YOUR DRAFTED # 2 and aren't doing so well, it means your a bust.
Not even fair to compare Victor to Turner. Victor is WAYYY better and will develop. GHANAMAN> ALL

I am saying that exceptions of him were never even high for him to be considered a bust.
No, if he didn't have high expectations then he can't be considered a bust. He just did what was expected. A bust is someone that FAILS to reach/meet expectations.
And like I said, stop looking at Draft Position. Look at what people said about the likelihood of his skills translating to the League

Outside of them both being #2 picks, I never compared the two. Someone else brought up comparing those two.
I wouldn't compare them. Two completely different types of players

that 15 minute long Cousins highlight reel could easily be a 60 minute long blooper reel 
but damn, I didn't realize Cousins posterized that many defenders this season

Also a DeMarcus Cousins defensive highlight reel would be about 15 seconds.

just saw that d12 reel. he clearly had ZERO lift last year, and yet was still able to be dominant at times. i can only hope he gets fully healthy this season and that his lift isn't gone
