Watching Wemby, I started googling to see who the most recent physical comparable would be.

Bamba is 7'0 with a 7'10" .

Drafted 6th and has done jack shit in 5 seasons. Still just 25 years old but a clear bust.

Did this freak of nature just not have any interest in basketball? Any major injuries? Does seem so. WTF happened to him?

Imagine getting a genetic lottery ticket of being 7' with a 7'10" wingspan and just decide youy'll quiet quit your way through your NBA career.

Imagine thinking somebody won a genetic lottery ticket. Try putting yourself in his shoes and imagine somebody asking a question like this about you. He could be 4 foot tall, and the fastest point guard with the highest vertical. Not everybody is a Kobe out of high school and not everybody is a Mutombo. And statistically Bamba is not a bust. He’s a perfect team member the last few seasons actually, Not every soldiers got to be on the front line, and especially not just because he looked built for it.
