April 7, 200818 yr Dennis Hopson, O$U's All-Time leading scorer. Drafted 3rd overall only lasted 6 seasons with a career PPG of 10.9. He was drafted ahead of Scottie Pippen, Kenny Smith, Kevin Johnson, Reggie Miller, Mark Jackson and Kenny Smith.
April 7, 200818 yr Rick Robey--remember he was picked 3rd overall by the Pacers and ahead of Larry Bird (although this was after Bird's Junior season so the Celts had to wait a year on him). But to his credit he did end up being traded for Dennis Johnson so he helped the Celts out. On the same line, how about Jack Givens? Kyle Macy, Steve Alford. Even Kenny Walker never became the player in the NBA that he was in college.
April 7, 200818 yr Who was the player at Auburn about 5 years ago that was so tough and did nothing in the NBA? Chris Porter?
April 7, 200818 yr Chris Porter? That's him. I thought he would have a decent career and nothing really.
April 7, 200818 yr I don't know, David Thompson, should give him a run for his money. I think Stacey King could beat them both. He averaged 24 PPG in college his last 2 seasons, he was touted by some as the college player of the decade. Picked 6th overall in the draft he only averaged 6.4 PPG over an 8 year NBA career--but he did get 3 rings with the Bulls.
April 7, 200818 yr That's him. I thought he would have a decent career and nothing really. Yeah, but he had a great hairdo.
April 7, 200818 yr Maybe you meant Byron Houston. Allan Houston played 12 years and averaged 17.3 PPG and .402 % from 3 for his career. He also played in 2 All-Star games. And got the Allan Houston Rule named after him. :lol:
April 7, 200818 yr For the UK faithful: Tony Delk Scott Padgett (career:4.2 ppg) Johnny Cox Wayne Turner Jeff Sheppard
April 7, 200818 yr For the UC faithful: James White Steve Logan Kenny Satterfield Dermarr Johnson Tony Bobbitt Mel Levett
April 7, 200818 yr Scott May of IU fame should be mentioned. I believe I heard Bobby Knight call him the best player he ever coached. How about his son, Sean?
April 7, 200818 yr How about his son, Sean? I thought the same thing...I haven't heard anything about Sean since the 2005 championship season with UNC
April 7, 200818 yr For the UK faithful: Tony Delk Scott Padgett (career:4.2 ppg) Johnny Cox Wayne Turner Jeff Sheppard Delk had a decent career. I remember him dropping 50 one night as a member of the Warriors.
April 7, 200818 yr And got the Allan Houston Rule named after him. :lol: Yeah, but to be fair that was because he had been unable to play due to knee injuries--not because he wasn't a good player. The rule allowed teams to buy out a contract and erase it from their salary cap. Houston was still a very good player when injuries did him in--he wasn't a bust at all.
April 7, 200818 yr Nick Collison a few years ago of Kansas. He went to Seattle and has done nothing. He's been a serviceable big man. I wouldn't label him a bust.
