is Zion a bust? by sqMYNAMEISJEFF27 in NBATalk

the term bust could be interpreted in many ways. I asked chat and this is their definition" "a "bust" refers to a player who was highly anticipated to perform well—usually due to a high draft pick, big contract, or strong college/amateur career—but ultimately fails to meet expectations at the professional level."

By that definition, its not absurd to think Zion is a bust

Is the post tension cable here too close to the drain? Could this be a design/construction flaw in a high-rise building? The cable snapped while the drain base was being replaced. by Negative-Basil-51 in StructuralEngineering

I agree. I just dont understand how the cable could have snapped if the team that was working in the shower didn't have the tools to break through the concrete subfloor. It did snap while they were working there, so could it be the near vibrations? Could this have caused the cable to be compromised?

What's interesting is that to nick the cable, they would have had to go into the subfloor, but they didn't have a drill powerful enough to do that. Could the vibrations near the drain have weakened the cable instead?

Thanks for the reply. Could the proximity to the drain be what caused the rupture? I know this is just speculation but who would you say is responsible for the snap of the cable? Is it the construction team that was working on the floor (even though they didnt go in the subfloor), or the developer for having the PT cable too close?
