Give me your all-time “injuries derailed a promising career” team

I was doing some basketball reference surfing today at work and came across Brad Daugherty. Daugherty is a player I knew of as one of the great UNC big men ever, #1 pick in ‘86, and a great Center for the Cavs. What I didn’t realize was that he retired at the age of 28! He had back issues that cost him his career. Made me want to hear some thoughts on some of the guys in nba history that had injuries derail their promising careers.

Here’s my list and some honorable mentions

PG:Derrick Rose

SG:Brandon Roy

SF: Grant Hill

PF: Maurice Stokes

C: Brad Daugherty

HM: Bill Walton, Jay Williams, Greg Oden, Penny Hardaway, Yao Ming, Demarcus Cousins, Lonzo Ball, Bernard King, Shaun Livingston.

Let me hear your guys thoughts!
