    Evan turner- thought he was maybe deserviing of a #1 pick
    Terrence Williams- thought he would have the potential to be like a 15, 5 and 5 kinda player but never happened. He be averaging like 18 6 and 6 in 2k though

    Bruh the year that ? Williams got drafted, on 2k they had his skills just through the roof. His rating was like a 77 or some ? . Which is high to begin with. But the ? had LeBrons athleticism and dunk package with Carmelos jumper. My brother dropped £€ points on me with him. *Not saying the actual number out of embarrassment

    In reality, he is a underrated athlete and dunker who can honestly play 3 positions but his attitude and maybe work ethic prevented him from being really good. Im still rooting for dude to get it all together. He damn near a star player in 2k lol

    I was wrong about Eli Manning, but only once Bad Eli showed up last season
    If you told me before last season that Trent Richardson would break Jim Browns franchise record, i would have laughed at you. Jokes on me

    Felix Jones...? was somewhat explosive his first few yrs but could never shake the injury bug. I thought he had a shot to outperform his former teammate McFadden after we drafted him.

    I thought Peter Warrick would be good.
    I thought Reggie Bush was going to be Gale Sayers.
    I thought Juan Dixon was going to good.
    I thought O.J Mayo would be a top guard.
    I thought Mark Sanchez would be good.
    I thought Matt Leinart would be good.
    I thought all those receivers the Lions drafted were going to be good.
    I thought Sean May was going to be good.

    The jury still out on Austin Rivers and Justin Blackmon.

    gotta mention Derrick Williams dude balled out in da NCAA tourney but got to da league nd was just an average ass tweener, he was talkin big noise before gettin drafted number 2 nd has put up mediocre numbers so far lls

    yeah, you gotta be leary about those type guys.


    see Tyrus Thomas

    nah ... give rek williams some more time. he got too settled in being a man amongst boys at AZ (and in the ncaa period). he's a late bloomer he will def come along. if he's still in minnesota then it will take him getting out of there. if he opens up, to play say like an igoudala type .... he will have a respectable career

    I thought Roddy White was gonna be a bust when we drafted him (first couple of years I was right)

    I never thought Al Horford was gonna make an All Star team.

    I thought Darren McFadden was challenge AP for that top spot

    I thought Eli Manning was average and living off his last name

    You couldn't tell me D-Hall wasn't the best DB in the league (especially after the Deion co-sign)

    Deion is just like Jordan when it comes to evaluating talent.

    Said Deangelo had next, and then he said Devin Hester could be just as good of a DB as he was... Then he quit playing DB. lol

    lol @ McFadden challenging AP. You weren't the only one thinking that. Alot of fans and media thought that just because he was from the SEC and had a similar running style. But I knew better.
