Yeah, those are great examples of players picked high in the draft that busted out, and there are many more.
But I'm struggling to remember someone who was a cultural phenom like Zion falling on his face this hard. The last example of this type of hype in the NBA was Lebron James, so situations like his don't even come around very often.
The only thing I can come up with is when Ricky Williams was drafted by the Saints, but he eventually recovered from his rocky start and had a pretty good career.
