Athletes with the physical talent to be elite that lacked that killer instinct

I'm not talking Lebron lacking Kobe and Michael's fury. I'm talking freak of nature athletes that were knuckle heads that didn't live up to their potential.

Some lacked killer instinct bc they were too busy getting high. Matt Jones, Michael Beasley

I actually think Javale McGee has all of the physical attributes to be an All-Star. Give him Hakeem's work ethic and he would be a decent player.

Derrick Coleman

Nick Kyrgios is probably a better answer.

Mattloaf is a good one.

Albert Haynesworth had HOF level talent. The one year he gave a shite playing for the Titans he was an absolute monster.

Definitely Wiggins.

Kid is blessed with all the physical traits to be special, but lacks any drive to be one of the all timers.

I'll add Stanley Roberts.

Dude was as talented as Shaq but was led astray by horrible people in his ear surrounding himself with yes men.

Hell, the whole team in 1990 at LSU with Shaq, Roberts, Jackson, etc.. WTF?
