I thought Chris Jackson was going to light up the NBA. I had expected big things out of Big Dog Glen Robinson and Joe Smith too.

I thought Lebron would be a huge bust because of his lack of a jump shot and that Carmelo would be by far the better of the two....that was a frick up

i thought tyrus would be better than he is. just his sheer athleticism shouldve gotten him more than he has gotten

I really thought LeBron was not going to be able to handle all the hype...and I was completely wrong.

Biggest recent disappointment was Marcus Williams, who I thought would at least be a starter somewhere by now. Agree on Big Dog, also thought Shawn Respert, Randolph Childress, and Ed O'Bannon would pan out.

Sam Bowie ahead of Jordan

says it all
Was I the one who called Jordan a tweener? Too big to be a guard but to small to play forward.

Me too, but I freakin loved Melo. I picked Syracuse to win it all that year, and I was right.

Sean May.

I thought he would be a dominant player in the NBA.

Has he even played a full season yet?

He does get pushed all over the court. Refs just don't call any fouls.

Whats his name from Gonzaga, the stache...

I thought he would come into league and play role of a Scott Skiles light them up from 3. Boy was a wrong, I havent heard his name since NCAA Tourney.

Was wrong about Chris Paul, I didnt think he would be as effective as he is. I was thinking he would be more like a Damon Stoudimire type player, not a dominant PG.
