For some reason I thought Hedo Turkoglu was going to be the next Peja coming into the league..he had a solid run but never really lived up to the hype I built up for him.

The downfall of Beasley was remarkable. I remember watching his pre drafts and thinking the kid was going to be a beast, even second guessing drafting the home town pick in DRose for a few days...glad Bulls went with Derrick. I still then he can be a solid player if some non playoff team ran some offense through him.

Good call on Van Horn and Wagner, I wasn't a Brewer fan though. I thought he would be a solid 3D guy only.

One day I really believe Cousins will get his head on straight and be an allstar.

How many years into this guys career will people continue to say that, I wonder.

I thought Stacey Augmon was going to be the next Scottie Pippen.

(Side note: This is a great example of how much the game has changed in recent years -- Augmon, a shooting guard/small forward, made 12 total 3-pointers in 1001 career NBA games.)

How is he such a bad shooter still considering he is a euro too. Looks like I was at least right with him being an elite passer.

I thought JR Smith was going to be a star coming out of high school but he turned out to be a huge head case. Ricky Davis 2.0

j/k

Players that i think should/could have been allstars at some point: rudy gay, lamar odom, al jefferson, jalen rose, marcus camby and josh smith. I was also surprised to see muggsy bogues never made it.

Players i thought were going to develop into allstars based on potential: jason williams, stromile swift, raef lafrentz, travis outlaw, bill walker, troy murphy, dermarr johnson and eddie robinson.

I think the same for SuperCoolBeas.

If he stays off the Mary J, gets playing time, I have no doubt he will be. As seen by his first few years with Miami, was pretty damn good.
