NBA busts you were excited about

[cleanface coney]

Keon Clarke

Morris Peterson

Juan Dixon

Smush Parker

nikkas had expectations for Smush Parker?

 

[Lakerman0834]

Speaking of getting excited but turning out to be a bust is this new coli. WTF is this

 

[dh86]

Anthony Randolph! nikkas was comparing him to Magic Johnson off limited PT on the Nellieball Warriors

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Tim Thomas

I thought he was going to be a beast


Mike Bibby

They was calling this cat "Jason Kidd with a jump shot"

Josh Childress

I thought he'd have at least a Shawn Marion type career


Ron Mercer

I actually thought Kentucky was holding him back and he was going to blow up in the pros

 

[MoneyTron]

Kerry Kittles.

When I was a kid I thought he was going to blow up and face off against Ray and Kobe.

 

[No Homo]

Lawrence Moten

Ed & Charles O'Bannon

Toby Bailey

Same exact list

 

[Ohene]

definitely Beasley. But the first that came to mind was Gerald Green

 

[gho3st]

darius miles
lamar odom

the talent these 2 had

 

[Brandsdale]

Rodney Stuckey. I thought he was the next D-wade. I remember that playoff game against boston where he went off. And was happy when we traded billups because he was in stuckeys way.
This nikka made it worse

Giving away Billups was the worse decision next to the Ben Gordon contract

 

[PHamm]

Reggie freeman
Shawn respert
Miles simon
Eddie griffin

 

[patscorpio]

Big country. Thought he was going to beast in the nba.

not me...i thought he was a bum


now this cat i dont want to call a bust because his stats are cool..but man i thought he was gonna be a superstar when he came out of uconn into the league - donyell marshall

 

[Regular_P]

I'll second the Tim Thomas mention. That guy shoulda been a monster. He was Shep from Above the Rim. All the talent in the world but no heart.

 

[the cool]

cherokee parks

priest lauderdale

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Tim Thomas

I thought he was going to be a beast


Mike Bibby

They was calling this cat "Jason Kidd with a jump shot"

Josh Childress

I thought he'd have at least a Shawn Marion type career


Ron Mercer

I actually thought Kentucky was holding him back and he was going to blow up in the pros

So glad that double headband shyt never took off


Mike Bibby really had the hype coming out of college like THAT? I know that run that Wildcat team had inflated 4 of them dudes but DAMN. He had a nice career though, I wouldnt call dude a bust prob the only dude I gotta vouch for on this list

 

[Ivan Trillwater.]

Michael Beasley. I was really pissed we (the Heat) didn't get the #1 pick. But the next best thing was Beasley. I really paid attention in College and he was a Beast. He was productive in his first 2 seasons but hasn't been able to get back on track because of his attitude and things. The Heat would eventually make it all better 2 years later but I really wish we woulda got Rose, or Kevin Love at least.
