    Came into the league with a ton of hype and had 3 super star years, only to fade away.

    Who currently do you believe will be like them in the deep drafts of the past 3 seasons?

    He had a good career, but was considered a superstar his first 4 years in the league. Then he faded and became a role player.

    You're forgetting the "have 3 superstar years" part.

    I'd go with OJ Mayo.

    Indeed.

    Tyrus Thomas is another option.

    Rudy Gay.

    LJ only faded because of back problems. Might as well call Bird a bust/fade for the same reason then.

    Grandmama was anything but a bust. HOF no, bust not. Very very very few guys actually go gang busters their entire career.

    Basically both of those guys had injury problems that derailed their careers.

    Coleman and Rasheed Wallace are similar in that neither of them played anywhere close to their potential and talent.
