    didn't see it so:

    GEORGE MURESAN

    he won the NBA's Most Improved Player Award one year with Washington (with C-Webb and JHo on the Roster).

    Lamond Murray

    Alvin Robertson

    Greg "Cadillac" Anderson

    Johnny Moore - will give him a break after he got that Desert Fever

    Lafayette "Fat" Lever, after he went to Dallas

    Michael Adams

    Danny Schayes

    (notice a lot of former Denver guys during the Moe regime?)

    Jim Peterson - I hate to mention him, because he was one of my all time favorite Rockets, but after the trade to Sacramento, we never heard anything out of him again.

    He was supposed to be an all star shot blocker not a 7.5 6 boards granted he didnt get minutes but still supposed to have been an all star.

    i agree with a lot of these but derrick coleman is a classic underachiever and possibly the largest waste of talent i've ever seen but not a one hit wonder because he could actually play when he wanted to. kenny anderson was one of the league's best PG's for a good 5 year span but did fall off after that but not a one hit wonder imo. ron harper was a very good player for about a decade, made a couple of all-star teams too.

    i wouldn't give up on guys like flip murray and eddie griffin yet. they're both still young and could put together careers.

    It doesn't matter what he was supposed to be, he was the same player this year that he was his first two years.

    So, in my mind, it's inaccurate to call him a one-hit wonder.

    Oh, and Christian Laettner didn't have the same impact in the NBA that he did in the college, but he was still a pretty good NBA player. He had a couple of 18/8 seasons and made the all-star team in 1997. He was the exact same player in the NBA as he was in college, just against better competition. But his style of play never really changed, and he was a good player for a few seasons.
