After Chris Paul having a blistering rookie year it got me thinking, what players in the NBA (or even here in Aus) have had an outstanding rookie year and then gone on to do nothing with the rest of their career or 'burnout'?

In the NBL, Travis Lane virtually disappeared from NBL level after a ROY season with the Kings, didn't he?

Karch Karai,
In Tonny's defence, he did suffer Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which contributed to his downfall.
Didn't Tonny's parents used to own a stall at the Fisherman's Wharf Markets at Port Adelaide some years ago? They used to have a poster of him up there at there stall
