    Olowokandi is up there for me. Followed him through college, was really disappointed that he basically didnt try.

    Darko Millicic. Selected before Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade.

    Marvin Williams. Selected before Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Andrew Bynum, Danny Granger.

    Pervis Ellison. Selected before Sean Elliot, Glen Rice, Tim Hardaway, Shawn Kemp.

    Sam Bowie. Selected before Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, John Stockton. This one probably hurts the most.

    Bucks drafting Tractor via Dallas in exchange for Dirk was pretty bad in hindsight also.

    I don't know how I feel about Darko, whether or not he's truly a bust or was selected and developed by the wrong team. Apart of me feels that Detroit really messed up by sitting him on the bench for years, and they weren't planning to built around him either.

    Kobe, Dirk, Nash...these guys sat for a couple of seasons but their teams were highly invested in them and were going to build around them.

    Darko is known to be a lazy player also. So I guess he's to blame too.

    Ellison was around before I got interested in basketball. I saw his career stats. I noticed his first and second seasons were pretty decent, but then he did nothing after that. What happened to him? Injuries?
