Freddy Adu is a great pick.
Most Olympic sports are usually pretty accurate about their phenoms (Phelps, Nathan Adrian, Dolan, Coughlin in swimming for example all became multiple gold medalists) but Mary Cain went from being the best American junior runner ever to being essentially a very good amateur in 5 years, which is insane.
Imagine if a top 3 recruit in basketball at 17 was playing only in those summer basketball leagues at 22. The closest I can come to that is Josh Selby or Renardo Sidney.

Renardo Sidney.
That's a great one. I would have bet him being an NBA allstar as a HS junior when he looked like this.
Then he got lazy and chubby.
