Lex, ZW didn't provide what he hoped, but I don't think he's a bust. He's very gifted and will do ok/very well in the NBA. Not only is he gifted, he has always been recognized as a very good guy. Don't know what happened at the end.

  No question, he’s gifted.  And from everything I’ve read , a terrific young man.  
He may have an excellent NBA career. But that’s irrelevant.  His on court year at Stanford was beyond disappointing.  Certainly there were extenuating circumstances.  But we all know the lengths Haase went to get him.  And while it was exciting to get a “whale” like him, I think it’s a mistake to recruit guys that are certain to leave after a year.  I don’t think that works at Stanford.  I don’t think it advances the program.
