the microwaveParticipantnot 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.

chdieselParticipantpg-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….

Chilbert arenasParticipantAny 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.

NJHooper95ParticipantWagner 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.

cabbycabParticipant"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… )
