<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Richard Dumas anyone?</div> Yeah Richard Dumas mos Def belongs on this list, people were expecting big things from him after 92-92 season. it was kind of like he came out of no where to help the Suns get to the finals. But due to the fact that Thunder Dan couldnt keep up with MJ's foot speed. And KJ was to small to guard MJ in the post area, Dumas was match up with MJ alot in that series. And alot of players have falling off after dealing with MJ for a series. Calbrt Chaney cmes to mid after the 97' playoffs. even Kerry Kittles after the 98' playoffs. MJ is the career stopper. Its kind of funny to see Sam Perkins' name come up in a thread about players that couldnt cut it & disappeared seeing that Sleepy Sam was around for ever & played with just about ever who's who in basketball. From MJ in college to Magic Johnson in the pro's. I mean Worthy, Reggie Miller, Gary Payton, Mark Aguirre, even Rolando Blackman was a great player when he & Sam played together. I dont think alot of players can say they played for 17 strong seasons(ok may be only 14 or 15 were strong, his pacers years were kind of shakey but still). Made the finals with 3 different teams Pacers, Sonics, Lakers. Played with Jordan & Magic & was coached by Bird. Btw, probably never played on a bad team in his entire career. Seeing that the Soncis won about 50 games every year, the Lakers made it to the Finals while he was there. He played for the Mavs when Blackman, Harper, Aguirre was there & they won about 45 games every year. And the Pacers were a good team while he was there making the finals in 2000. Sam Perkins has memories & experiences we can only dream of. Plus how many PF/C would step back (During the 90's) & show the type of range that he showed when he was with the Soncis? not alot. So he made his on personal impact on the game imo. Sam didnt diappear, he retired there is a difference. I'll take Sam Perkins career anyday of the week.
Good College Players, but no NBA game... Bobby Hurley Christian Laettner Stacey King Shawn Respert Antonio Daniels Tractor Trailor Trajan Langdon Add E-Rob to my list as well...

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting G-UNIT:</div><div class="quote_post">Good College Players, but no NBA game...

Laettner actually had a very productive NBA career then he started fading away and still is. Antonio Daniels has been solid enough I guess to warrant him being off this leist.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting KareemTheRush:</div><div class="quote_post">lol the whole bulls</div> I agree What about Qyntel Woods(basically lost at the end of the bench), Jared Jefferies, Deshawn Stevenson(I expected better),Chris Brochardt(we picked this guy over Carlos Boozer?)! What about rookies who didn't make it in to the league! Mario Austin, Tyrone Ellis, Carl English, Tommy Smith, Zach Marbury?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting iversonfan3:</div><div class="quote_post">man mario austin is good, i cant believe he didnt get selected int eh first round</div> Mario Austin and the Bulls have been in constant contact, I believe. He just thought one year overseas would be best suited for him. I'm not sure what his status is right now as we speak though.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Peja King:</div><div class="quote_post">nate huffman </div> HAHAHA. Grunwald signing him was probably the primary reason on why he got fired. The Huffman was an absolute joke. The dude who was picked #2 in the 1984 draft has to be the first one to be nominated. The next will be Darko Milicic. :thumbsup:
Is Jason Caffey even in the NBA anymore, he was a pretty good quality player for the Bulls and Bucks, but does anyone know were he is now?
Bison Dele. He was pretty solid. Too bad he suddenly decided to retire and got killed by his own brother.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting pgrudo00:</div><div class="quote_post">Is Jason Caffey even in the NBA anymore, he was a pretty good quality player for the Bulls and Bucks, but does anyone know were he is now?</div> The thing that killed Jason Caffey career was the season after 9/11, he had develope some type of nervous condition about flying so he had to go on imjury reserve because he couldnt go on road games. And when he finally did return to the team full time(2002-03), he didnt fit in anymore because of the presence of Anthony Mason & Tony Kukoc. So they released him during the offseason.

I'll take Sam Perkins career anyday of the week.</div> Guys that come to my mind- Ron Mercer- Cant miss player out of HS. Star at Kentucky. I think his attitude prevented greatness. John Wallace- Produced when given opportunity but just was too inconsistent. Carried Syracuse. Donald Williams- With his shooting ability I thought he could be one of those off the bench producers. Randoph Childress- Dominated his senior year and was clutch.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trip:</div><div class="quote_post">That's Sam Bowie. </div> Man, i actually liked Sam Bowie's game...he had a sweet face up game for a big man....shame he couldn't stay healthy...well, at least he's famous for something now
