    Speaking of "Baby Jordan", does anyone else when the hot rumor was him being dealt here for Clyde?

    Agreed om all counts. I'm just not sure if that qualifies him as one of the 10 biggest NCAA/NBA busts of all times based on their (admittedly subjective) criteria. There are guys who made 1st team all-american two, even three times AND won national titles that also flamed out in the NBA - guys like Steve Alford, Kyle Macy.

    And, since we have mentioned injuries and car accidents, it's only fair to also mention that Respert's NBA career was derailed by stomach cancer near the end of his rookie season.

    Came across an article on Ed O'Bannon the other day, and he's a cars salesman now. But what was interesting was how bad he wanted to stay on the West coast and he wanted to play for Portland real bad to be close to home.

    That was the year we took Shawn Respert and traded for Gary Trent.
