Potential Players who never made it big?

[Matty4292]

Guess we read different reports on him

Must do... Want a guy who was meant to be a leading scorer and flopped?

Jimmer Fredette.

Jimmer Fredette.

Agreed. Disappointing.

Thomas Robinson - He is averaging like 4 & 4

 

[fezzadog]

most of the guys i am seeing are only fresh, irving might be a flop and wall may end up a superstar. too soon to tell IMO.

think old school

 

[khouzza]

Isaiah Rider - Super rookie season, turned into an absolute goose after that.
Harold Miner - baby Jordan??? Hahahahahahaha

 

[ducky_poo]

mj... the second time around

he won 3 championships second time round.

think u mean his wizards debacle

Exactly what they said a few years back about Beasley. But as it turns out, Beasley is that classic "tweener" - not enough outside game, especially defensively, to play SF, and too small to play full time PF, so unless they can come off the bench and play a bit of a sparkplug role, they struggle to find a niche in the league. And I am afraid DWill is looking like a Beasley clone in that respect.

Possibly. Except I don't think Williams smokes 5kg of pot a year lol

 

[fezzadog]

yeah, i shoot from the hip haha.

 

[Verse1]

Sprewell, another that could have been something special but never reached his potential

 

[FabFiveFan]

Possibly. Except I don't think Williams smokes 5kg of pot a year lol

Haha, I was gonna make a reference to Beasley's recreational habits.

Thomas Robinson - He is averaging like 4 & 4

He can't get any minutes is the trouble, not sure why Jason Thompson is getting most of the minutes at PF...

Pervis Ellison and Roy Tarpley are another couple of guys drafted back in the 80's who had talent but had drug problems and flopped...

 

[Josh23]

Jamal mashburn, and that Michael Jordan guy!? Wat a flop! Hahahaha.

 

[Josh23]

Conley too

 

[Josh23]

Must do... Want a guy who was meant to be a leading scorer and flopped?

Jimmer Fredette.

Honestly wouldn't say that right away he may slowly climb back up, he proved that earlier this season

 

[madwiggles]

Kwame Brown for sure, and Greg Oden (To be confirmed)

 

[Josh23]

Sam bowie

 

[Rodman91]

mj... the second time around

Your kidding right?

For a superstar athlete to make a comback from being out the sport for three years he did awesome

He average 22.9 the first year and 20.0 in the 2nd

For someone that was 39 and 40 years old that bloody good.

Beasley is definitely looking like a bust, but only because he's mentally very weak, addict that doesnt want to put in the work to stay on top of his game. He played like a star player in his first season with the Wolves averaging 19.3pts, but i guess after that year he showed not everybody can handle the riches of stardom.

Some people are just randomly throwing out names here though, come on now these players are definitely not busts!

Ben Wallace, undrafted player who becomes four time defensive player of the year, nba champ, 4x allstar,6x all-defensive team, 5x all-nba

gilbert arenas, 2nd round pick that averaged 29.3pts in 05-06, multiple buzzerbeaters, agent zero, 60pts career high against Kobe-Lakers

OJ Mayo, big-time scorer with the Mavericks now, so hes actually fulfilling his potential right now

Glenn Robinson, a guy averaging 20.7pts a game over an 11year career is a bust?!?

Mashburn?!? Sick-ass scorer, allstar, one of the best small-forwards of the 90s, 19.1pts career average.
