Majok I knew had a high bust potential -- he's exactly the sort of guy who's rated very highly on individual skills without much regard for whether or not (usually not) they translate into 5 on 5.

Brimah surprises me on this list. I expected nothing from him and he actually overperformed as a freshman. He just disappointed after that because he basically never improved.

Gilbert is tough because you don't know how he would have been without injury and I feel it's unfair to call that "too high expectations."

Larrier I also knew would disappoint. Way too many people put stock in his high school ranking and overlooked the fact that he averaged like 6 ppg on 35% shooting in a mid-major conference while showing bad decision-making. Again, a tweener who wows you in workouts and then it predictably doesn't translate to games.

For me personally, it has to be Drummond. Through-the-roof hype, physical gifts were clear, but it was also obvious that he had basically never been coached and was simply not a winning player. He's lucky he came out when he did -- 5-10 years later he might not even be a 1st round pick.
