I about spit water on the screen with that one! For being the #3 pick in the draft, he was NOWHERE what he was expected to be, and never a team leader (especially here in MN). I'd definitely put Boozer and Brand ahead of him on the list, for sure. Possibly even Battier.

Hurley is a flop only because he was nearly killed in a car accident early in his potentially promising career. Had that not happened, I could have seen him having a John Stockton/Steve Nash-like career, honestly.
