Name five college basketball players that didn't live up to their hype once they reached the NBA?

Question

The first person to name three of the five on my list gets the points!! Here's a hint for one of my five:
1. He went to the University of Connecticut, but in high school lost in the UIL playoffs to a team that had another one of the players on my list.

ok ok...that may be two hints....
Good luck!

Answer 1

Every hot prospect from Duke.

1.Christian Laettner
2.Chris Duhon
3.Shane Battier
4.William Avery
5.Daniel Ewing

The player you talking about Emeka Okfor is one of the best centers in the league averages a double double and is great at blocks. But his team is very young and struggles to play well togeter. If Sean May and Morrison get it together. Look out for the cats in 08.

Answer 2

I think you're talking about Okafor because he's from Texas and we have to worry about UIL eligibility. I'd have to say another disappointment would be Christian Laettner. Bobby Hurley barely got to play after his auto accident--the dude barely survived. Chris Duhon was a good leader/player at Duke but was a second round guy--not really predicted to be a key guy if I remember correctly. He is a good bench player for the Bulls. JJ doesn't get to play much so you can't really count him as being a dissapointment. The guys who mentioned Hurley, Duhon and JJ must be Duke-haters.

Answer 3

Sam Bowie
Chris Washburn
Michael Olowokandi
Joe Smith
Dennis Hopson

Answer 4

1. Bobby Hurley
2. Danny Ferry
3. Bo Kimble
4. Keith Van Horn
5. Chris Duhon

Answer 5

LaRue Martin, Lancaster Gordon, Scott May, Russell Cross, Greg Kelser

Answer 6

My vote goes to: Clyde Drexler Nick Van Exel Anfernee hardaway Alonzo Mourning THE BIG O Robertson Lebron james and..... Shawn Kemp is pretty sick. OH! umm Andre Iguodala, Sebastion Telfair, Lamarcus ALdrige and Isaih Rider! BAM!

Answer 7

i think a lot of people are doing rookies from this year. personally i havn't been around for 20 years like u guys have. so i don't know many. but i think all of u who said people who are rookies are being rediculous. u can't know if they'll be good or not. IT'S THE ALL STAR BREAK!!!!!!

if ur hint is Emeka okefor. he's like the best blocker in the nba right now

Answer 8

Sam Bowie 7'1"
Christian Laettner
Gheorghe Muresan 7'7"
Manute Bol 7'6"
Shawn Bradley 7' 5"

and all the guys over 7' were never any good

Answer 9

Sam Bowie, adam morrison, Mateen Cleeves, kenyon Martin, Danny Manning

Answer 10

Almost every player who comes out of Duke! No just kidding, a few of them have been very successful. I remember Ralph Sampson from Virginia was a huge disappointment in the pros.
