23. Antawn Jamison
Originally a top-five pick of the Toronto Raptors in 1998, Jamison, a 6-foot-8 forward from UNC, came into the league with sky-high expectations.
Jamison was immediately flipped by Toronto to Golden State for Vince Carter and some cash. While his first season in Golden State didn’t produce the numbers many hoped to see, they eventually came.
Jamison averaged 24.9 points per game in his third year in the NBA. He somehow missed the All-Star game but continued his elite scoring, averaging 19.7 points and 22.2 points per game over the next two seasons. He then left for Dallas and then had a lengthy stay in Washington.
Jamison ended his career as a two-time All-Star with five seasons of 20-plus points per game.
Jamison made the postseason seven times, none of which were with Golden State. In one first-round series, he averaged 32 points per game, and his Wizards still lost. That said, Jamison’s career was successful, but the high-level team success just was never there.
