My initial reaction was Kenyon Martin. The picks after him were Stromile Swift and Darius Miles and he blew them away. I guess I just thought of him cause I picked him late in my fantasy draft last year and he produced solid consistent stats and that was the year after the microfracture surgery. My second thought was Glenn Robinson and I was also unaware that he averaged 20ppg

Do we all agree that Coleman was the biggest waster of talent?

TP for that. Thing is apparently he's a really nice guy and is doing a lot in his old Detroit neighbourhood to help improve it.

Glenn retired pretty young, huh?  Finished his career after coming off the bench for the Championship Spurs in 2005.

One could argue the same thing with Joe Smith.  At least Coleman had a few more years of putting up good numbers.
do it

Look at the other three Cs that were drafted 1st around him.  Played on some really good Cav teams. 


If he played now, top 3 C in the league.
He would be my pick also if you're talking underrated.

Now overrated...Kandiman anyone?
