Vince Carter and T-Mac belong on this list, they had so much talent but never had the heart.

My Washburn/Tarpley tandem annihilates all of these. :D

As for the other spots, can I count Terrell Brandon and Jamal Mashburn for their piles of knee injuries? We still got to see a lot but not quite all of what they could do. Add in Micheal Ray Richardson at SG (he could so play it) and that's a wrap!

And yes, I purposefully avoided Len Bias because picking him for things like this is soooooooo hackneyed.

Vince Carter, and T-Mac era Toronto Raptors. If those 2 stayed together, didn't get injured, and fullfilled their potential.....damn

Trajon Langdon and Dajuan Wagner are my two favorite former Cavalier busts...

Oh and not that Diop ever really had that much upside, but he was another big time draft bust by Paxson. Taking that guy in the lottery was an absolute joke. Hey but at least he apologized to the city of Cleveland after he left for his poor work ethic.
