Carter tore his ACL in a pre-season game his rookie season. He never recovered. Not sure I would consider that a big bust. More like bad luck.
Someone mentioned Len Bias. That was more bad luck. You can't be a bust if you die before ever playing a game. Bias was a sick baller, and joining a team like the '86 Celtics wasn't going to hurt his career. He might have overshadowed even MJ in the late '80s.
My biggest bust ever? Dan of "Dan & Dave". Dude was the highlight of 9 months of Reebok commercials and then failed to even qualify for the Olympics. At least Ryan Leaf actually played on the world's biggest stage in his respective sport.
