    Ben Wilson, Simeon HS, Chicago, IL

    He was the number 1 high school player in the country, but he got shot to death before his senior season. Former teammate Nick Anderson is wearing #25 in honor to him.

    Hook.....no doubt about it. Hook played with Kidd, Payton, Antonio Davis, etc and was competitive against all the guys that are NBA stars now. Too bad he went to jail but otherwise I bet he's at Payton's level now.

    His name is Stanley Roberts, he actually got draft by the Magic in 91' the year before Shaq got drafted by them. He played most of his career with the Clippers tho,but he was really injury prone & his weight got out of control. But he is still trying to make a comeback to the league actually.

    Hebacy, I know he got drafted but other people are writing about players who are in the league as not making it.

    Todd Fuller? Did you say Todd Fuller? I thought the thread was about best players never to make it.
