Default Most wasted talent...
which player do you think had the most talent, but wasted it due to drugs, the law, or injury. Rich Harden may be moving in the direction soon. Len Bias and bo jackson are some obvious choices....who else?

Ricky Williams... Could have been one of the best rb's of all time

Dwight Gooden

Darryl Strawberry

Brien Taylor... UNC/Yanks lefty pitcher, he dislocated his pitching shoulder and tore his labrum while jumping into a fight to defend his brother. Kid would have been GREAT

Maurice Clarett

He may not be at the very top of anyone's list but how about Shaq? He was possibly the most dominant center ever and was never in shape. Imagine if he worked out?
