    Until this past season, Donyell Marshall. That guy was a walking contract for years.

    Speaking of walking contracts, who can forget that lovable bust Jon Koncak, effectionately called "Jon Contract" by the Hawks fans for the way he sucked up money and never contributed.

    I like this list the best, except I would leave Ralph off. I think Ralph had a very nice career.

    Len Bias had Jordan-like talent. The Boston franchise has not been the same since Len killed himself with cocaine. What a shame- he had a chance to be one of the all-time greats. He is clearly the biggest bust I have ever seen.

    I don't think you can consider him a bust, simply because of the fact that he has made an All-Star team. Plus, he was a pretty good player until recently. He was a good rebounder. Pretty versatile defender. Smart offensive player, who could occassionally score in the low post.

    In the 1992 draft, it was a FORGONE conclusion that Shaq would be the 1st pick. All 11 representatives at the lottery brought a number 1 jersey with Shaq's name on it. Seriously, there was never a doubt who would be the 1st pick.

    No contest, it's LaRue Martin. Who? Exactly.He was the #1 pick overall in '72. Drafted ahead of a guy named McAdoo.
