Some of you may consider Wingfield a "failure" for various reasons. Like many of the supposed draft busts whom are criticized, they may attribute it to one or more stuff like no playing time, people in front of him, beef with the coaching staff, drugs or other stuff, or because the dude can't play in the league, even if it's not true. But when you consider that he was a second rounder who made it to the league, in an era where most don't get a stiff, the term "bust" is hardly the case. And he isn't a "disgrace" either, considering his collegiate success.

Everyone in actuality, though, knows that if the dude made it to the league, as in the NBA, that he can actually play and school us regular dudes. If he played against average joes in rec leagues, he'd put up 100 points no problem.

But I don't consider a second rounder who didn't last five years a failure or a bust, he's successful because he made it this far to the league. He's probably as good as Hansbrough or Arthur Johnson. It's just the dude had Shawn Kemp in front of him, a would've been hall of famer had the Cavs not screwed him up with the slow down system, and he didn't get minutes. Had he gotten minutes, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
He is not a "bust" nor a "disgrace," and he did play in the NBA playoffs, which 99% of us can't say. In terms of public perception, some may criticize him, but he tore up college. Playing against shmoes in the rec league doesn't help a guy improve, playing against real talented dudes does. I can't blame him for going after one year because he destroyed the collegiate level. If you look at his numbers, he would've gone maybe late 1st round in the 2008 draft. There's no denying 16 pts and 9 rebounds makes for a great season. The seemingly lack of NBA "success" doesn't take away from him as a person. Making the NBA is a lot harder than many people think, and he made a level that 99% of us didn't have.
