Let's here it for America's failed SG contigency
Khalid Reeves
Kirk Snyder
Kudos to the guy who said John Wallace (he played like a SG and that was his problem)
Marcus Liberty -- that dunk was sick
Reece Gaines
Romain Sato
Bernard Robinson -- never thought he got a fair shake

And not that it matters, but who wouldn't cheer for Rueben Boumtje Boumtje as he ran down the court?

I honestly thought that Quintin Richardson would be a much better player. People forget he was a 20/10 guy his freshman year in college and was a great all around player. Now he is just a chucker from three.

He was just not that good.... He was a craptasic defender and undersized as a 2 guard.

+1 i can remember hearing about him for years before he came into the league (mainly due to his dunking ability).

Lamar Odom

Strange, but true, after the first season with the Clipper uniform I thought this guy is having a legitimate superstar potential, guy can dribble, pass,rebound, above average mid,long range shot with long arm and 6"10 frame, especially he is a lefty. I once thought he is going to be a 29/9/7 player during his prime. How can somebody with this kinda of talent and potentials turn out into the Lamer Odom of today

Common... name one player in the past 25 years that has had a stat line like that for an entire season. You had unrealistic expectations. If you said 20/10/5... well that is different.

William Avery
Ricky Moore
Vonteego Cummings (all 3 hometown ballers)
Darius Miles - everyone thought he was gonna be a superstar
Lenny Cooke - was supposed to be lebron before lebron
Michael Sweetney - had all the tools to be elton brand-like but put down the ball for the cheeseburger
Rod Grizzard
Erwin Dudley
Lawrence Moten
Ed O' Bannon & Charles O' Bannon - even Lil Wayne made light of this "I'll leave ya missin like the **** O' Bannons" - where did they go??

everyone had high hopes for darius miles, so much so they made a documentary on him going into the NBA. he had an ok run until he got hurt. Sure as hell cant act.
