I remember watching Richard Dumas back in 93 and thinking he had all the physical tools to be a star. He gave Pippen fits in the Suns-Bulls finals that year. Unfortunately he struggled with drugs and was in and out of the league a few years later.

I personally think Lamar Odom had the chance to be one of the all-time great players but didn't apply himself and was fine with being just a very good player. I also think Tim Thomas had all the tools to be at the very least a perennial all-star.
In the Knick of time.

I've got a few. Roy Tarpley, Sean Kemp, Vin Baker, Derrick Coleman, Stanley Roberts, Eddy Curry...

OJ Mayo was a great player and never got it together
JR Smith could have been a star but wasn’t motivated really except for when he came back to China humbled and when Lebron convinced him to play for a chip. The algorithm gives and the algorithm takes away

Sugar Ray Richardson is a good one. Certainly could have been a HOFer. I remember when the Knicks unloaded him the Post said, "Knicks now Sugar free." Leave it to the Post.

I'm going with Len Bias. He had it all as the 2nd pick in the '86 draft. Blew it all at a party 2 days after his selection. No chance at all...

Vin Baker, Lenny Bias, and Derrick Coleman are the first name that comes to my mind
Gilbert Arenas is another name... I think people forget how good he was before he just went bat**** crazy Knicks that come to mind are Steve Francis, Steph Marbury, (not necessarily with the Knicks) Latrell Spreewell, Sugar Ray Sambakick wrote:

and I used to get into arguments with people over saying Tyson Chandler was going to become a better player. Curry might have had the build but man he clearly had no passion for the game|

Michael Beasley. He had Melo talent at the very least. He was unbelievably gifted on offense.

If not for the injury, Grant Hill would have been 1 of the top 10 players to ever place em up. He was LeBron before LeBron...
