Kirk Goldsberry

Went out.

Andrew Bynum?

Yes.

He did.

And some brain stuff.

KG, what do you think?

I think he has a couple of historic moments.

I don't know how high I was of him coming out of UCLA.

I think he had a decent NBA career, but I can see why people who watched him play either early in the NBA thought that he was destined for more than he actually got.

If that's your logic, is Tracy McGrady a candidate for your list?

Yeah, I love this game.

One of the nerd candidates I'll throw at you is Larry Sanders.

Oh, that's a great one.

When we were starting to do some of the first player tracking studies in the NBA, this guy started to pop on all these rim protection metrics that we'd never had access to before.

And I wrote his paper for Sloan.

I was like, this guy is going to be the best rim protector in the league for the next five or 10 years.

And he was out of the league by 26 or something.

And, but he was, I was like, this guy, I'm going to put my flag in here.

And this guy's going to be, you know, the face of the defensive analytics revolution.

He never showed up.
