Andre Drummond. I naively thought he was going to dominate in his freshman year. I never saw him play prior to joining us but with all the hype I fed in to, I had too high expections of an AA performance. I would have loved to see him one more year.

Loved the kid, but my vote goes with Sticks. Every game I'd wonder if this would be the one that would serve as the launching pad. Second vote would go for Rudy Gay - same scenario. Both were like a severe case of basektball spectator blue balls - lots of tease, but no money shot.

The fact that Dickie V spent the entire 1999 championship run slobbering over him, the winner going away is Ajou Ajou Deng.
Honorable mention to Ater Majok, Doug Wrenn, and Nate Miles.
There are guys who didn't live up to their hype and guys who never improved and guys who never fixed the holes in their games, but putting a player who played significant minutes from a final four team on this list is nutso.

I was watching those 99-00 season games on youtube the other day and that team was filled with guys who fit. Obviously Deng because of the hype, Edmund(top 40 player, selected to the Magic Johnson Roundball Classic), Doug Wrenn, and to a very lesser extent Albert Mouring. Mouring had a very good career, and he's someone that you could plug in alot of our teams as another scorer(he's someone that would've fit like a glove in 11-12), but I thought he was going to a bit better than what he was.
