General- I really don't think Bailey turned out to be a lemon, he was pretty much a stud. Yeah he didnt have an NBA career, and he would have never been a star in the NBA, but his knees prevented him from ever having a chance.

I don't know maybe you were talking more about his NBA career? But at IU I think he had super unrealistic high expectations from some people, but I think he turned out to be as good as advertised.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


Yeah, I was referring to the thought he would have a great NBA career. I watched him play many times in HS. He was awesome.

Harold Miner...not so much the next greatest thing but I used to love to watch him play...
I've actually seen ads with people looking for Harold Miner videos...and I would actually pay for a couple myself
BTW ...anyone know what he is doing?

Lawrence Phillips

[JudgeWapner]

Skip Wise out of Dunbar,Md.Best High School ball player I ever saw.Than the needle to its toll.

 

[HectorLopez]

Keith Lee (NBA)

I remember seeing him as a highly touted freshman at Memphis. He made it into the NBA, but I don't think he lasted long.

LLoyd `sweet pea` Daniels


best basketball player I ever saw

 

[stolidog]

Lyold Daniels has to top this list for hoops- he was the second coming of Jordan and a playground legend before his knees went to sh*t. A few average 8-9 ppg in the NBA and he was done.

Add Ben McDonald to the list too - A college stud and a pro dud.

 

[VaultedTreehouse]

Gregg Jeffries, no doubt about it.

 

[BadBeat]

Sam Bowie. All the tools, just no feet to play them with.
