NBA: A collection of super busts

When Ye Feng entered the university, he was not on the list of the top 100 freshmen of the class of 2003, nor was he on the list of first-round or second-round rookies predicted by any other professional draft media, whether it was ESPN, TNT, Bleacher Report, or any other professional draft media.

He wasn't even on some media outlets' so-called "list of undrafted players worth paying attention to".

He had some reputation in high school, but in the NCAA he was just a nobody.

But as Ye Feng improved with each game at Marquette University that year, and the team's record kept improving, his projected draft position also kept rising.

Who can blame him for averaging 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game this season, while also consistently delivering exhilarating dunks and blocks? Add to that his top-notch screen setting and his masterful chemistry with "Pick and Roll Man" Dwyane Wade.

Furthermore, his aggressive playing style, characterized by his penchant for slamming the basket, and his fiery temper have led many Marquette University fans to refer to Ye Feng as a "wanted criminal."

Because this guy would repeatedly attack and bombard the basket whenever he went to an away game, making him as fearsome as a wanted criminal.

As for why not choose a more positive name, such as the Rampager, the Destroyer, the Rain Man, the Little Tyrant, or the Bone Crusher?

His flamboyant playing style and arrogant attitude on the court often led to minor and major conflicts with his opponents.

Throughout the entire school year, he was suspended by the NCAA five times, for a total of 12 games!

Marquette University only played 36 games in the regular season this year, and Ye Feng missed a third of them.

And without exception, it was all because of fighting.

But what Marquette University fans love most is that no matter how much conflict Ye Feng has with others, he has never lost.

Every time, he came out on top, and because of that, he always had the most suspensions.

But no matter how much trouble Ye Feng caused, after a whole academic year of outstanding performance, his predicted draft position went from undrafted, to the second round, to the end of the first round, and then from the end of the first round back to the middle.

Now that March Madness has begun, his tough defense, solid pick-and-roll, and terrifying physical abilities have made him a favorite among many. Some media outlets now believe that Ye Feng is capable of making it into the lottery!

The biggest obstacle to his draft prospects, and the reason why many people dare not select him in the top ten or even higher draft positions, is only one.

It's his terrible temper and his tendency to resort to violence when he gets angry.

Will this terrible personality become a boost to his career, or an Achilles' heel that hinders his development?

This is a common question among almost all the scouts who are following him.

As for his role model, it is currently Kenyon Martin, the number one draft pick in 2001.

Another physically explosive, reckless power forward.

What Ye Feng needs to do now is not to pay attention to any draft predictions, but to play well in the remaining games of March Madness and go all out to win the championship.

Go all out for a better draft position and the system's next draw.

As the third year of madness progressed, Ye Feng's popularity at school also rose day by day.

For example, why would Ye Feng return to the dormitory from outside so early in the morning?

Of course, it was because after the team returned to the school last night, Wade immediately organized a crazy party. Ye Feng could only say one thing about that party: it was dazzling!

After the party, several senior students insisted that Ye Feng teach them how to play basketball.

What can Ye Feng do?

He couldn't refuse anyone, so he could only accept whatever came his way and reluctantly teach the girls basketball all night.

What about close man-to-man defense, breaking double teams with both hands, suddenly pulling up for a score under the basket, high-intensity back-to-the-basket drills, and calmly controlling the ball when facing double teams...?

The senior students were very eager to learn, and Ye Feng enjoyed teaching them.

Whistling in high spirits, Ye Feng pushed open the door to his dormitory, and a pungent, ambiguous smell wafted out.

The smell instantly enraged Ye Feng, and what annoyed him even more was that the smell was coming from his bed!

"Fuck you! You damn cheeky bastard! What did you do in your most respected father's bed? Do you believe I'll kill you?"

"Hey, Ye, you're back?" Wade got out of bed, still half asleep, and greeted Ye Feng. "Last night was unforgettable, wasn't it? I taught the girl how to play basketball all night! From two-handed ball handling to man-to-man marking, and..."

"Your dear father is asking you what you did in my bed?" Ye Feng felt his fist harden.

What kind of bastard would make love to someone else in bed?

"Separate wet and dry areas, you taught me that." Wade shamelessly patted the girl next to him and said, "Get up, my good buddy is back. Unless you want to come along, I think you should go home."

"Actually, you guys... I can do it too." A black girl with cornrows, a wild look, and a resemblance to Allen Iverson, got up from next to Wade. She was alluring and didn't hesitate to show off her magnificent figure. She was the type that black people liked the most.

Wade and Harden, top shooting guards, share a remarkably similar preference.

On this point, Ye Feng admired Kobe even more.

"What are you doing? Who are you going to call?" Wade became extremely wary as soon as he saw Ye Feng not answering and taking out his phone.

"I'm calling Theo Vaughn," Ye Feng said. "You bastard! My bed is all soiled! How am I supposed to sleep now?"

"Separating the wet and dry areas doesn't mean you can play around getting wet on my bed!"

"No!" Wade sprang out of bed, displaying the terrifying speed of the Flash, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Ye Feng, grabbing the phone he was about to dial: "Why are you calling her? We're brothers!"

"She's my best friend in this life." Ye Feng was equally shameless. In reality, he wasn't close to Wade's girlfriend, Theo Vaughn, but Wade obviously didn't dare let his girlfriend know about his messy affairs.

Who could blame him when his status was almost identical to that of a son-in-law who married into his wife's family?

There are at least a million stories like his across the United States: when he was young, his father irresponsibly ran away, and his family was so poor that they couldn't afford to eat. It was the Theo Vaughn family who took him in and supported him, which allowed him to grow up successfully and play basketball instead of becoming a drug dealer on the street.

They are childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little.

However, when it comes to relationships, Wade clearly inherited his father's DNA, and he's a complete mess of it.

"Aren't I your best friend too?" Wade said with a smug grin. "Remember your first day at school, Yao Ye? I liked you at first sight! I thought you'd be my best brother for life! I even went out of my way to get you, a freshman, placed in my dorm!"
