Vin Baker, for sure.
Also, I think Chris Weber qualifies. He was regarded as "the next big thing" when he was drafted. It is true that he had some injuries throught his career -- even early --, but the fact is that he never really developed his game. For instance, despite being a natural ballhandler, his post moves remained raw and he remained an inconsistent jump shooter... As a result, even in his best years, he was not an efficient scorer. For someone hyped as he was as a prospect, I think he underachieved.

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.
