The name that comes to mind is Andrew Bynum but he wasn't really a wunderkind. I guess I don't really have a good example of someone making it pro. Though I'm sure some high ranking high school players that don't end up making it have this issue.
Eddie Curry.
Melo.
There are countless players who did not the work ethic to improve they bodies, which would have taken them to the next level.
Curry never loved basketball - if I remember correctly, his first passion was dancing? Might be wrong about that.
Melo is definitely a good one.
His stament was wonderkinds...Both those players were that. They were head and shoulders above the majority of their peers.
Luka loving basketball more than Curry is actually a Knock against Luka more than anything. He has Horrible eating habits from all accounts, and its obvious he does not take physical condition as serious as he should. Dude KNOWS he will be in the NBA and still has shown NO effort to improve himself physically ahead of time. He knew what his destination would be. Thats shows Laziness on his behalf in that aspect. He is a wing Player...No Exuse to be that Pudgy...he not a big.
