DeMarcus Cousins

DeMarcus "Boogie" Cousins is honestly one of the most fascinating what-if stories in NBA history. When he was healthy, the guy was an absolute nightmare to guard — a true center who could face up, hit mid-range jumpers, pass out of the post, and bully anyone in the paint, all at 6'11". He made four All-Star teams, three of them with the Sacramento Kings, and was widely considered the best center in the league during his peak years. Then the injury bug hit hard: a torn Achilles in 2018, a torn quad in 2019, and by the time he showed up for the Golden State Warriors' run to the 2019 Finals he was never quite the same Boogie. It's genuinely sad, because on pure talent alone he belonged in conversations with the elite big men of his generation. The hunger and the skill were always there; the body just didn't cooperate.
