    He literally vanished. Like, right out of the NBA.

    but remember I’m 30, so Eric Barkley, Loren Woods and Sconnie Penn also. Joe Forte was great at UNC, good call Flossy.

    Len Bias, he literally disappeared. Kenny George was a 7’7 guy a few years back who had his leg amputated. Jay Williams from Duke with the motorcycle injuries.

    Len Bias and Jay Williams will always haunt me.

    Because I’m both a Celtics fan and a Duke fan.

    The fact that both tragedies happened because of their stupidity only makes it worse.

    I’m just happy that God spared Jay’s life and now he is a pretty succesful analyst on ESPN.

    Rashad McCants is a complete headcase.  I think he’s starring in some series as a bisexual porn star.  He recently was quoted as saying he wanted to be known as the best basketball player that wasn’t playing basketball.   WOW!

    when did Sean May "eat himself out of the league"? I don’t think he was ever expected to be much of a player anyway. I don’t think it was about motivaton  or work ethic with Sean May, he simply just didn’t have the skill set to play in the NBA.

    Sean May didn’t eat himself out of the league.  He had a bunch of injuries.

     Stanley Roberts–Believe it or not, but at one point he was considered a more highly touted prospect than his college teammate, Shaquille O’neal (wtf!!!)

    Roy Tarpley– Drugs ruined his career

    Chris Washburn–Same as Tarpley

    Michael Ray Richardson–Same as Washburn. He did have a good deal of success in the pros but he could’ve been an all time great had he not had a thing for nose candy.  (damn the 80s were an effed up decade)

    The late Eddie Griffen–I had high hopes for him. It’s a damn shame how things played out

    Bobby Hurley–Car wreck that he was lucky to have survived ruined his career

    Randolph Childress. He was THE MAN on a Wake team that also had some guy named Tim Duncan. Barely got a shake in the L and was gone. Shawn Respert from Michigan State- great shooter, but undersized and couldn’t create. Same for my Jersey boy Terry Dehere..

    / Bison Dele disappeared while sailing. Foul play was the ultimate assumption

    Bison Dele (April 6, 1969 – presumed dead July 7, 2002)[1] formerly known as Brian Carson Williams, was an American professional basketball player who finished his career as a center for the NBA‘s Detroit Pistons. He is believed to have been murdered at sea by his older brother in 2002.

     Good call with Shawn Respert. I forgot about him. He was a killer at Michigan State. Childress was another good call. Since we’re talking about the 95 draft, why not mention Sherell Ford. I had high hopes for him. Another good one was Cherokee Parks, although he stuck around in the league for nearly a decade
