All time wasted NBA talents ?

[ghsartin]

Marcus Camby, who was drafted second overall and had his best scoring season as a rookie (14.8 ppg).
I thought, also, that Xavier Henry — drafted 12th overall in the 2010 NBA Draft — was going to become a new Clyde Drexler, due to his size and athleticism.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Fultz.

Isn't too early to regard Fultz as a wasted NBA talent? I do think that he'll never amount to much, but the guy only recently began to play regularly...

Hat tips to:
1) Marquese Chriss (million dollar body, ten cent head)
2) Vince Carter (really good career, but could have been an all-timer)
3) Michael Beasley

Beasley’s a good one. I’d take a flier on him. He could be a decent stretch 4. Put up very good stats with the Bucks a year or two ago iirc.

Nah. Sheed was an integral part of a pistons title

As was Odom. Both put in 0 effort most of the time, yet had the careers they had.

Oliver Miller

That fat bastard could ball, until he turned into a blimp

Michael Olowokandi was dubbed the next Hakeem Olajuwon. He was thought of as one of those can’t miss generational talents. He was complete garbage. Has to be near the top.

Jalen Rose.

Wasn’t Rose drafted in the 16-18 range. He gave pretty good for where he was drafted.

It’s possible for both. If AK had an average mentality, he’d be a hall of famer.

As a side note, my phone originally autocorrected “hall of famer” to “hall of gamer,” which is interesting by itself.

Like above, if you can get one all star appearance from a guy you drafted 24th that’s amaizing. He, bore Rose should be on the list.

OP said players who hung around for at least 8 years. Give Fultz time. Lol

As a kid he was one of my favorite none jazz players. Then one year I was watching a game and saw some fat tub of lard, and was like who is that fat ***?? Then realized it was Miller, wow!!

When I was younger I thought Dajuan Wagner and Sebastian Telfair were going to be something. I most likely came to that conclusion by reading Sports Illustrated magazine at Great Clips. Anyway, looks like Sebastian may be going to prison for 3 years on gun charges.

A few played less than 6-7 seasons but had potential:

Jarred Sullinger
Michael Sweetney
Kwame Brown
Larry Sanders

That's a good one
