Rasheed Wallace won a championship so I wouldn't consider him a waste.

Ummm...yeah they kinda did.
Rasheed was acquired in 04 mid season. Prior to that, Pistons were a very good team, but not a championship winning team. He put them over the top.
If he would've kept playing hard and posted up more often rather than always wanting to shoot 3's, the Pistons may have won 1 or 2 more championships.

The Blazers woulda been the 2000 NBA Champs had he done that as well. As a Laker fan, Sheed terrified me. We had an ancient AC Green as our starting PF, and just about every time Sheed posted him up, he scored. It was uncanny.
He just didn't do it more than a couple of times a quarter.

Shawn Kemp has to be up there. How about Tracy McGrady? If he had the worth ethic of some other guys he could have been a lot better. I know injuries eventually got to him, but in his prime he could have been even better. I know he recently came out and said he wasn't into practice. I can only imagine how good he could have been if he had put the work in that many other great players do.

He was one of my favorite players to watch. I thought he would be better than Kobe at some point
