Good call on Sam Bowie. I've always liked his play on the Nets, and it's really to bad he just couldn't stay healthy. I think he would have no problems being a consistent 17/18ppg-10/11rpg player, at least. I also liked the fact that he was a team-first player and took at heart his defensive duties.
Pervis ellison is another one who couldn't get free of the injury bug.
