not sure you can put Wagner in this group… he had some serious health issues / conditions (bladder infection / colitis) that didnt allow him to play, but in his rookie year in the minimal time he got on the court once back he dropped 13 ppg.. Dude can definitely score with the best of them.

 

this below is from the net with more details.

Often compared to Allen Iverson for his scoring ability, he had mixed success in his rookie season; although he averaged 13.4 points per game, he shot only 36.9% from the field. Wagner was hampered by injuries and health problems thereafter. He averaged a career low 4.0 points in only 11 games played during the 2004-05 season, and was hospitalized for ulcerative colitis. The Cavaliers did not exercise their option on his contract for the 2005-06 season and subsequently Wagner was out of the league.

His colitis condition was not amenable to medication and, after consulting with New York Knicks head coach Larry Brown, who referred him to a New York medical expert, Wagner underwent surgery to remove his entire colon on October 25, 2005 at Mount Sinai Hospital.

PG- Reece Gaines (15th overall, 2003)

SG- Luke Jackson (10th overall, 2004)

SF- Nikolas Tskitishvilli (5th overall, 2002)

PF- Mike Sweetney (9th overall, 2003)

C- Rafael Araujo (8th overall, 2004)

pg-Sebastian Telfair, Marcus Banks- Telfair was always worthless and Banks, never knew what the hell happened to him

sg-Rashad McCants, Jarvis Hayes-I guess McCants got into acting or something?  Hayes played a little for Wizards but never did anything

sf-Josh Childress- Has pretty much died since returning from Greece

pf-Sean May, Mike Sweetney, Marcus Fizer- May never did anything.  Sweetney got himself a good eating buddy with Eddy Curry in NY, so that’s that.  Fizer was with the Bulls I believe and then I don’t know where he went

c-Patrick O bryant, Saer Sene, Greg Oden, Robert Swift, Eddy Curry-O Bryant was a flop, so was Sene.  Oden is too busy flashing his dong around on the internet instead of rehabbing.  Swift was always awful, and Curry played well with the Bulls until that heart thing, then got paid and started eating everything in sight, so ya….

Any center drafted by the Sonics in the 2000’s

 P.S. I see Marcus Banks at the LMU rec center all the time these days, the dude should have played football, he’s a brick wall.

Todd Fuller by the Golden State Warriors, 2 spots ahead of Kobe.

Wagner cannot be on this list. The guy is probably the best prep scorer ever, and was a good scorer in college. And for people who dont know, he was on pace at one point in the season to become the youngest player in NBA history to average 20pts a game his rookie year (Lebron now holds that record) before the injuries and Illness started. Wag is not a bust, but unfortunate.

Joe Alexander-picked 8th by the Bucks in 2008.

Brendan Wright-also at 8 by the Bobcats in 2007.

Ike Diogu-picked 9th by the Warriors in 2005.

Marcus Haislip-picked 13th by the Bucks in 2002.

Just a couple of names that I haven’t seen in this topic.

 "Todd Fuller by the Golden State Warriors, 2 spots ahead of Kobe"

 

Why you gotta ruin my day and remind me of this stiff.  At least Fuller had a solid career at NC State, and the word was that he gave Tim Duncan fits in college.  O’Bryant on the other had is a total ass-clown that had ONE good tournament game and all of a sudden he is Bill Russell.  

GWS have found some really good players out of the lottery as well though ( Sprewell, Monta, Chris Gatling ect… )

[Specialt25Participant]

PG – Acie Law 11th pick  (you can even say Randy Foye) 7th pick

SG – Adam Morrison  3rd pick

SF – Nickoloz Tskitishvili 5th pick

PF – Kwame Brown 1st pick

C – Darko Milicec  2nd pick

 

All Dissapointments and top draft picks who had alot of hype behind them.

[chdieselParticipant]

I know he wasn’t lottery but, whatever happened to Troy Bell?  I remember he was big east POY coming out of college…he was another guy that can be added to this list
