Cole “Aldrich Horror” Aldrich is an odd case. Taken 11th overall in 2010, he has bounced around the league, never making much of an impact. There’s a word for people who were drafted high but then turned out to not be very impactful basketball players. I can’t use the term, though, because if I do, people will get mad at me, even if it’s obvious to all non-homers that it’s the truth.
So Cole Aldrich is not a bust. I don’t know what else to call him, but he’s not a bust. There. Are you happy?
