Players Worth "Resurrecting" in NBA 2K13?

[TeamBuilder]

Every year in Association Mode I pick a former player who has been a "bust," and through development drills I "resurrect" his career by progressing him into a superstar. It usually makes for an interesting storyline.

Do you do the same? If so, with who? My list of 2K13 candidates includes (leading candidates in bold):

Hasheem Thabeet
Marvin Williams
Sebastian Telfair
Charlie Villanueva
Gerald Green
Adam Morrison (if he's included)
Greg Oden (biggest challenge, he never stays healthy)
Yi Jianlian
Corey Brewer
Anthony Randolph
Jonny Flynn
Terrence Williams
Earl Clark
Byron Mullens (made a significant leap last season)
Jimmer Fredette (too soon? he's buried on the Kings bench)

Lamar Odom?

Lamar Odom?

He seems too old now and at one time he actually was very good, unlike the other players on the list. But it still would probably be fun to do.

Lamar Odom?

Im doing that now in 2K12. I got him back on the Lakers from the Mavs (using 87 Lakers and Classic Teams) I put him back at 6th man and in his first game back against the Kings he did pretty good. I think he can still be an effective 6th Man in real life with the Clippers now that hes back in LA.

Do you actually play the games or just fast forward and let the CPU deal with it?

Terrance Williams is pretty good on 2k because of athlrtic ability. Put him at SF on the Kings online & kill

Tracy Mcgrady? I would make him one of the best again.

Great list. Shaun Livingston really stands out to me. Back in the day I heard him being touted as the next Magic Johnson back before he was drafted.

Just started a CAL on 2k12 with him, I put him on the suns we'll see what happens

Beasley or Mayo. Neither failed badly but when you have guys in '08 draft like Rose, Love, Westbrook and great things were expected from those two. Could be fun.

I play the games 9 times out of 10.
