Not due to injury though...so no Brandon Roy, Grant Hill, Oden, etc.
Derrick Coleman immediately comes to mind for me.

Derrick Coleman is one.
Lamar Odom is another that comes to mind, but he became a very good player last season. Still, I don't think he made the All-Star team.
How about some of the coke heads in the 70s?
Eddy Curry is another who comes to mind.
Marbury.
Good choices...it's hard to make a ruling on Odom though. He's definitely one of the most versatile players to ever suit up, but yeah--I guess it always seemed like he could be a lot more dominant/impactful than he was. Still, he was a huge part of 2 le teams.
Coleman
potentially J.R. Smith ...
David thompson
roy Tarpley
Alot of the centers in the 80s like Benoit Benjamin, Chris Washburn, Alton Lister, Roy Tarpley.
But yeah, has to be Derrick Coleman as the top choice even though he made the All-Star team a few times.
I agree with J.R. Smith. Tons of talent. He did improve last season.
Kwame Brown has to be up there.
Although he won a ring and has been a good player, Rasheed Wallace could've been so much more dominant than he was. He could do it all, but didn't have the right at ude/mindset for the game much of his career.
What could have been had he learned how to catch an entry pass...
Darius Miles and Stromile Swift come to mind.
And when he did..... Game 7 of the 2010 Finals happened
That was Wallace's masterpiece exit stolen by the vindictive refs
Wallace was a ty rebounder, but I have no idea why the Blazers and Pistons didn't just go to him on the block all the time like the Spurs did with Duncan. He was absolutely devastating when he'd spin baseline and shoot from the low block.
I'd throw in Terrence Williams if he continues on the path he is.
was better last year, but dude has more athletic gifts than Wade, Manu or kobe ...but his bball IQ and at ude has got in the way.
I wanna add Carmelo. High scorer, not a great player. Most overrated player in the last 10 years.
The problem, it seemed Wallace would never camp out in the paint, even though he could dominate. Dude rather stay out on the perimeter and chuck threes. Wallace was also a good defender, when he wanted to be, which wasn't often. He had the talent to be one of the best, what a waste.
I agree. He really excited me his rookie season since he showed so much potential. Then when Paul was drafted, I thought those two would be an amazing backcourt tandem for years. JR was traded a year after Paul was drafted.

He was except for the 4th quarter of Game 7 of 2000 WCF ... I saw him shrink and he only had the shorter, lighter Horry on him. that plus the failed rotations vs. the Spurs are skid marks on his career story ...
Tracy McGrady...despite his injuries he could've been so much better than he was if he had played like he cared
Isaiah rider
Wallace went on the block plenty against the Lakers in that 2000 WCF...mother er destroyed Green (lol) and Horry in the post.
It was amazing how that team fell apart once Sabonis fouled out. That team had too much talent just to shrink like that.
