Kings was the reason Evans didn’t improve tbh. At that time, PG at that height is still rare so Kings though he would be better at SG/SF when he’s clearly a PG where he’s comfortable playing at. Now look at some PGs now having forward heights
FACTS. As a rookie Evans was a matchup problem for every NBA PG + showed his potential 2 be a top 10 PG for the next decade.. But the Kings like to lose so they ruined TEvans
That and the coaching ruined him as well Not just in how they moved his positions, Paul Westphal was a decent coach… in 1993. By 2010 he was basically exposed as a talent merchant and retread.
Brian Scalabrine peaked in his 4th season at 6.3ppg and was never the same after that. People have debated for years why his meteoric rise stopped so abruptly. We all have our theories.
I used to love how much Tommy would hype up scale and how excited he would get when he would bury a 3 lol. Oh and who could forget Tommy's man crush on his boy Walter McCarthy!
Brandon Jennings got injured, I remember how good he was and he was never the same after... And Okafor was actually good, he even had a resurgence on the Pelicans although he's not a good defender that is true. The Sixers ruined a bunch of players and wasted a ton of potential because they didn't want to win.
Derons body failed him. He got to Brooklyn and wanted to be paid like a #1 option but didn’t want to be a leader. Ankle issues, attitude issues, and weight problems messed him up. I wish he was still contributing on a team.
As a kid who grew up in Utah, D-Will and Boozer were awesome. Too bad they both wanted to leave and never had quite as much success without Jerry Sloan
@@tims4502 you never had him for a whole season and when he was on the court for you he was giving you twenty points a night, so imagine if he wasn’t dealing with the injuries
IMO the definition of washed was not as good as they used to be, that applies to drose, even if ur a super fan of his he’s not an all star anymore and most likely never will be again, he’s still a great nba player, especially as a 6th man on a contender, but in my definition he’s washed
Brandon knight had multiple injuries that seriously hurt his progression/potential. Not sure why you included him when you specifically said you wouldn’t include players who suffered injuries.
Jennings tore his Achilles and came back from it. Like obviously he fell off. I watched this for Ben Gordon but dude doesn't even include that trainwreck.
It's a bit misleading to say MCW peaked in his first game. He fully deserved that rookie of the year award, he was a walking triple double for the whole season.
@@realniggashit3 Pretty much. The Sixers knew he wasn't going to turn around the franchise so they correctly traded him while his value was at its highest. That said, MCW still earned RotY because nobody else had a stronger argument. I'm totally fine with handing the award to a guy who was thrust into a hopeless situation and tried to carry an awful team as best he could. RotY isn't an award for whom you think will have the best career moving forward.
This video reminded me just how rough it was being a Bucks fun before Giannis started our revival, like 4 of these players were on our team at one point 😞
to put Deron Williams on this list is crazy. Against Denver in 2010 he averaged 26 and 11 on 49% from the field and 48% from 3. matter of fact after that san antonio series he went 5 straight playoff series average at least 20 points and 8 assist. the ankle injury is the only thing that made him fall off. you should’ve put drose on the list as well
Discovered a few years ago that Hassan Whiteside once played for the Kings. Is a team with Thomas, Evans, Cousins, and Whiteside good? Not sure but I think it would be interesting to watch them play in one team.
Keith Van Horn is another guy who started out pretty decent but didn't seem to improve. He put up numbers such that the Nets had a consolation for not getting Duncan, but his game didn't seem to improve. The Nets made the playoffs his rookie season but then cratered until Jason Kidd arrived.
@@luisalcantara7285 Lin always had a decent 3 ball. Tyreke didn't develop his until his SEVENTH season in the league. He was as bad of a 3 point shooter as Derrick Rose his first 6 seasons.
Michael Carter Williams had a one year wonder year as a rookie running through the league... Much respect to every professional athlete, for putting on a show
I don’t think there’s any other player in history who have won the rookie of the year. But then immediately started to decline: Michael carter Williams would like to have a word with you Edit: well he covered that one quickly to quieten this 😂
@@realniggashit3 u ain’t wrong although I wasn’t watching the nba back then, it does seem that his stats were inflated way more than normal inflation and the stats he had in the last few years backs it up
I met Michael Carter Williams and Tyreek Evans once The Sixers played the Kings I have courtside tickets. My dad also got me a few more guys from this video like Deron Williams and Brandon Jennings
You said you were not going to include devastating injuries and then you named Brandon Jennings whose career was ruined by injuries and he was actually quite good in Detroit until he was hurt.
Ya this list is kinda whack, most of these guys suffered big season ending injuries that really hurt their careers. A simple Wikipedia search definitely would have helped this video.
D.Will was great. He just wasn't the same after his ankle injuries. Those ankle injuries really sapped away his quickness and any athleticism he had. That only made his defense much worse.
thats kinda unfair about Okafor and MCW. like you said, both had good rookie years but then fell off, but after their rookie years, they were traded or not given opportunity again. so how can they succeed if not given same opportunity that they succeeded in? both of them, you give them minutes, and opportunity, showed they can shine. but both never got opportunity after their rookie years.
OJ Mayo was a bad apple so to speak, all sorts of issues in a tainted college career. He gat the reputation as a head case. All the talent in the world, but lights out nobody home.
My man MC Dub used up his entire career's worth of rocket sauce on 1 game, also happened to be his 1st game lol. Some guys use it up on 1 game like that, some guys have an entire careers worth of sauce. A sauce boss
Fun Fact: Brandon Jennings was traded for Brandon Knight back in 2013. Brandon Knight also involve in 3-Team trade including Michael Carter-Williams back in 2015. All of these bums traded to each other.
I think OJ Mayo is a prime example of a guy who simply had too much success and hype early in life, so when he got to the NBA he didn't have some kind of insane drive and work ethic to improve. That's one thing that makes Lebron's career remarkable, he could have easily been OJ Mayo. There's never been a more hyped player than Lebron and somehow he lived up to it.
I feel like some of the blame for why some of these guys didn't get better has to fall on the teams for not developing them correctly. Like for Okafor, he might always be a bad defensive player, but surely someone out there could use a post player who consistently shoots around 60%. Teach him how to pass out of the post and he can be an offensive spark plug for 10 minutes a game.
Brandon Knight’s best season is with the Bucks. He was gelling with Giannis and Jabari but was cut short because they decided to partways with him thru a trade that will land them michael carter-williams. Smh
Knight and Jennings had suffered injuries before declining. And Williams left to a whole new Team one of the worst at the time. That paired with his ankle injuries made his stats drop. Might as well throw I'm Greg Oden and Grant Hill while your at it.
Tyreke Evans should have stayed as a PG. So good getting to the bucket, too strong for PGs to guard him but not a good shooter to play the 2. As a Kings fan I feel he could have had a better overall career at the point.
He had already been cut by a couple different teams and bounced around a couple years before Linsanity happened. He’s really his own category, guys who were really good for a stretch of games then went back to obscurity.
I think Dwyane wade should be the poster child for peaking too early. Won an nba championship and finals mvp in only his third year in the nba and at the age of 24. Was on his way to be the greatest SG of all time but instead injuries and his unselfishness on the court sort of made him became a sidekick and 2nd option to lebron, during what should've been wade's prime years in the nba. Although he had decent stats for a perennial all star, he was never regarded as the same again like when he won his first championship in 2006.
I feel like Lauri Markkanen should be on this list, people considered him the next Dirk all bc he did good in his first two seasons, but he fell off when he got into his 3rd year and now he’s a bench warmer
Thank you for not putting drose in this! I’d say his skills are even better now, he just doesn’t have the crazy 1 of a kind speed and explosiveness as before
Christmas Day 2014, Pistons released Josh Smith. Started the year off horrible before then and then Jennings went OFF. Detroit looked to be on the way to the playoffs before Jennings got hurt, I believe he tore his ACL.
Brandon Knight was good but he got an ACL injury in Phoenix and I think he reinjured it when trying to come back, after that he wasn't the same. Injuries fucked him up, unlike most in this list
Time ..time makes everything worse or better but you need to let time play out ...I truly think 6 of those guys would be future hall of famers but they weren't given enough time
Brandon Knight turned into a meme for the Jordan dunk, kyrie cross, and blowing that wide open layup to win a game. That’s tough to come back from
Impossible to come back from that. He should have gone to China and tried to get his sauce back. He was slandered to oblivion in America
@@Zaghzackio like stephon marbury
Physically and mentally
those people clowning him dont even earn 3% of what he makes. He may have failed in the NBA but he won at life

The Sixers ruined a bunch of players and wasted a ton of potential because they didn't want to win.
Kinda late but Philly screwed up by drafting the same position with their top pick for years. Noel, Embiid, and then Jahlil?
Can you do 7 players peaked late in their careers
Late bloomers are the perfect definition of those payers especially Chauncey Billups.
Lowry
Nash, Tyson Chandler
Mike Dunleavy jr,lou will,Seth curry,pj tucker,Bojan bogdanovich,Trevor ariza,
Jimmy Butler
Jennings was actually doing pretty well in Detroit. He flourished under SVG but his career ending injury killed it
Yep, he had a 20-20 game then he got hurt
He was still a bust. Field goal percentage was always trash and didn't get fouled enough to make up for it
Derons body failed him. He got to Brooklyn and wanted to be paid like a #1 option but didn’t want to be a leader. Ankle issues, attitude issues, and weight problems messed him up. I wish he was still contributing on a team.
Paul Pierce was right about him.
@@chrismathgenius We seen his passion for the game was gone.. The Injuries took that away from him.. Paul was right about him all along as well..
Man to see how much of a liability he was in the finals on the Cavs was terrible... D Will went out sad 😔
Also KG shouted out Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez only in his HOF speech 😂
Bad karma for ending Jerry Sloan's legendary coaching career. He was never elite post-Sloan.
As a kid who grew up in Utah, D-Will and Boozer were awesome. Too bad they both wanted to leave and never had quite as much success without Jerry Sloan
Kirilenko was the best player on the team tbh
what about my boy memo? i still think he's the best shooting big man after dirk.
First you say Drose is washed and now you say Brandon Knight peaked early after dealing with multiple injuries.
I had to re-listen to that bit a few times because I was like "Knight was lambasted with injuries, wasn't he?" So it wasn't like he just fell off.
Knight fell off before his injuries. As a Suns fan I so hated that we traded for him.
@@tims4502 you never had him for a whole season and when he was on the court for you he was giving you twenty points a night, so imagine if he wasn’t dealing with the injuries
Brandon Knight and Jennings both had pretty severe injuries that ruined their careers. They didn't just magically fall off for no reason.
IMO the definition of washed was not as good as they used to be, that applies to drose, even if ur a super fan of his he’s not an all star anymore and most likely never will be again, he’s still a great nba player, especially as a 6th man on a contender, but in my definition he’s washed

Exactly
he’s a hypocrite lol havent you seen his so called “i wouldnt include guys who blablabla hot injured” but proceeds to include them in his other videos
He was injured after the flukes tho right?
Jennings tore his Achilles and came back from it. Like obviously he fell off. I watched this for Ben Gordon but dude doesn't even include that trainwreck.
Deron Williams too. lol
It's a bit misleading to say MCW peaked in his first game. He fully deserved that rookie of the year award, he was a walking triple double for the whole season.
He was a walking triple double due to monster usage on a historically bad team. He was never a winning player.
@@realniggashit3 yea, he basically sucked
Really good steal for fantasy too
@@realniggashit3 he has five in his career…
@@realniggashit3 Pretty much. The Sixers knew he wasn't going to turn around the franchise so they correctly traded him while his value was at its highest.

I really wish Okafor could be signed by the Spurs. I feel Coach Pop could totally revive his game and confidence
Nah Pop demands defensive effort. He wouldn't be a fit there.
This video reminded me just how rough it was being a Bucks fun before Giannis started our revival, like 4 of these players were on our team at one point 😞
The Achilles injury basically ended Jennings aspirations of being a star.
His low IQ and lackluster defense held him from being even average.
MCW literally peaked IN HIS FIRST GAME! But that was a hella good first game tho also I make videos as well
Damn you are very underrated youtuber respect
Carter is spelled with a C not a K
*MCW
I still don’t understand how he wasn’t at least a role player like Shawn Livingston
No mention of Knight's injury after he was beginning to breakout
Earl Watson made him come off the bench and he hated that role. Then he got injured.

At Ben Simmons he hasn’t progressed at all, current stats and rookie stats look identical
His production stays the same but I don’t think Ben has peaked just yet, still an all star

Not so much offensively, but defensively he's improved and it is at an elite level.
Ben Simmons has progressed in the most important stat. That's Pay $

28-32 is an average prime. It’s so hard to see players peak at like 23. I feel bad for them
A lot of these guys were probably better players at 28-32 than 23, but had far higher usage at 23 and padded stats for bad teams.

B knight faced a devastating injury as well
I was about to be depressed of you put DRose lol, but MCW peaked his 1st year & didn’t get better since
OJ Mayo might come back for a hardship exception thing
Maybe do some players who peaked really late?
Injuries, coaching , devlopment , bad roles, roster construction , empty stats , free raims, also free raims gone

He could still average 20-10 today with high usage. Problem is the team would struggle to win 15 games lol
For sure Deron Williams and Brandon Jennings really peaked so early but their NBA careers really fell flat late honestly .. it’s just sad
