Ricky Davis comes to mind.  Fell off pretty young.

Yuh TP. Becoming completely irrelevant in your late 20's has got to hurt.

Also TP to poster saying that Carmelo shouldn't count, coz he is simply really old now..

I have a hard time putting anyone on the list that got hurt.  That just isn't fair.  Also isn't fair to count guys well past their prime.  Everyone gets old.

Someone not mentioned yet was Jerry Stackhouse had a pretty fast fall.  I mean he went from being the 2nd leading scorer to dropping 8 ppg the next season, followed up by around the same, but hten dropped 8 ppg again.  I know he got hurt during that 2nd drop, but not during the first one.

Greg Monroe springs to mind. Averaged 16/10 over a roughly 400 game stretch, then became a 20MPG bench big-man for a couple of seasons, and now can't get a game.

Edit: Wrong thread. Sorry! Roy Hibbert stinks.
