Laetner was huge in college, sadly couldn't perform agt the same level in the NBA. Joe Smith, well, he's in the Lakers somewhere, I think as a waterboy. Harold Miner "Baby Jordan", he was the first "next Jordan" and now he's all fat, played like 5 seasons and because unemployed. Bobby Hurley was very good, suffered a really bad accident that cut his career short. He had great court vision.
Most of these guys I thought were going to be stars back in HS (Tim Thomas, DeMar Johnson), college (Rodney Rogers, Eddie Griffin) and a couple midway through their rookie year (like Googs)
Tom Gugliotta
Rodney Rogers
Donyel Marshal
Keith Van Horn
Tim Thomas
Ron Mercer
Stromile Swift
DeMarr Johnson
Eddie Griffin
Marvin Williams

Laettner was a punk who stepped on people's faces. There's that line between confidence and asshole, well Laettner wasn't even close to the line. He was the apex of asshole.

Laettner did just fine in the NBA until he started getting injured. His first few years he put up nice numbers. Once he got injured he was never the same. You should look up his stats.
Okafor, he looked like he the skills to be a really good All Star big man, but he turned out to be average. Jordan Hill too, I thought in D'antoni's system (and NY's lack of big men) he would be a steal but he hasn't panned out so far.
