Bryant and Garnett each played 10-15 minutes per game during their first years respectively and anyone that watched them and knew anything about the game could tell they were both going to be studs or at very least had the tools to compete.

Harold Miner... the list of athletic failures is long.
One of the first, Bill Willoughby.

I played against Miner in high school. Fans were taken in by his alleged great athleticsm. Players weren't. We knew it would catch up with him at some point. James Harden is what Miner was.
