    Buck Johnson, sprinting 100 miles an hour like he was Carl Lewis.

    Berry could fill it up and had a game similar to Harden. Those were my college years so I don't remember what happened to him either but am curious to know too. Wiki says he played three seasons in the NBA and then went to Italy.

    Wasn't really a bust. In fact he was a damn good player in his second year (after being traded to vancouver). Problem was injuries derailed his career way too early, similar to Grant Hill/Penny.

    Michael Dickerson was the first person I thought of.

    Also:

    Bryce Drew
    Shandon Anderson
    Othella Harrington

    His name was almost as cool as Kennard Winchester.

    I'm not positive, but I think Berry pulled a knife on another player. I think it was a butter knife.

    I can no longer think of Harold Minor without introducing David Hardisty in a very deep voice in my head.

    "And Noooww, the man who would have picked Harold Minor over Robert Horry..."

    lols, got to love Clutch's self-denigrating humor on his podcast intro

    Joe C. Meriweather. I thought he was going to be a star player. He had a terrific rookie season. He made the all-rookie team. We traded him and other pieces after the season for Dwight Jones and a first round draft pick. Meriweather never got any better, he just gradually declined over the next ten years. Never understood what happened to that guy.

    I guess that's what I meant by bust, he definitely had skills. Just was disappointing since his career only lasted ~5 years.

    Yeah. After his torn ACL he wasn't the same.

    I will always fall back to Mirsad Turcan (sp??), the guy we picked over Rashard Lewis...

    I mean seriously three first round picks and we couldn't "waste" on a local 6' 10 guy.
