April 7, 200818 yr What about Francisco Garcia? I know he is still on the Kings roster, but is he getting any PT? He's averaging 12 ppg so far and has started 18 games this year. I think he's the 6th or 7th man coming off the bench.

April 7, 200818 yr For the UK faithful: Tony Delk Scott Padgett (career:4.2 ppg) Johnny Cox Wayne Turner Jeff Sheppard Not sure I would Turner or Sheppard busts being they weren't even drafted.
April 7, 200818 yr For the UK faithful: Tony Delk Scott Padgett (career:4.2 ppg) Johnny Cox Wayne Turner Jeff Sheppard But none of these players were great in college. Good, not great. So I don't think they would be in this thread.
April 7, 200818 yr Not sure I would Turner or Sheppard busts being they weren't even drafted. They were both very good college players though. Turner ended up playing with the Cincinnati Stuff who then folded. I'd consider them busts simply because they didn't make it in to the NBA after having successful college careers.

Johnny Cox: (http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/Statistics/Players/Cox_Johnny.html) 1956-57: All-American [uPI (3rd), Helms (3rd)]; All- NCAA Regional Team; First Team All-SEC (AP & Coaches) 1957-58: All-NCAA Final Four Team; All- NCAA Regional Team; First Team All-SEC (Coaches) Second Team All-SEC (AP) 1958-59: All-American [Consensus (1st), AP (1st), UPI (2nd), NABC (1st), USBW (1st), Converse (1st), Helms (1st), Sporting News (2nd), Look Magazine (1st), Newspaper Enterprises Assn.

April 7, 200818 yr I think we've all overlooked the obvious: Adam Morrison. The next Larry Legend:lol:
April 7, 200818 yr Author I think we've all overlooked the obvious: Adam Morrison. Well, when you tear an ACL it's hard to perform. Thought he had a pretty good rookie year though.
April 7, 200818 yr Khalid El-Amin Was this the guard from UCONN when they beat Duke in the national championship.
April 7, 200818 yr Was it Randolph Childress I believe? He played for Wake Forest in the mid 90s, around 94 or 95 I believe. He was a great college player who disappeared in the NBA.
April 7, 200818 yr Phil Ford - The best college point guard that I have ever seen play. Ford was a three-time consensus All American who started for the Olympic champion USA team in 1976 following his sophomore season. I had UNC, but the four corner offense was a thing of beauty with Ford running the point. Ford averaged 11.6 ppg and 6.4 apg before retiring from the NBA in 1985. Bill Walton - The best college center that I have seen play. Injuries severely limited his effectiveness in the NBA, although he did have a few good seasons. Sam Bowie - Another great college center whose injuries put a major dent in his NBA career. I always felt that Bowie was very underrated as a defensive player. J. J. Redick - Great college guard a mediocre NBA player at best. Jay Williams from Duke. Unbelievable talent. Who knows what would have happened if he would have stayed away from his motorcycle.
April 7, 200818 yr Was this the guard from UCONN when they beat Duke in the national championship. Yes.
April 7, 200818 yr Delk had a decent career. I remember him dropping 50 one night as a member of the Warriors. I thought it was while he was with the Suns?
