Why is Len Bias getting so many votes?

I never saw him play, but I can't imagine that he was so incredibly good you can say he's the biggest waste of talent without ever playing in the nba. Like if Carmelo died before he got to play, I doubt he would win this poll. It's just that the story of Bias has been romanticized over the years that people thought he was going to be the next Jordan or something. Someone like Richard Dumas would be a better pick.

bias was an amazing talent; i think he's one of the few legit names on this list.

Yet he wasn't picked ahead of Brad Daugherty.

And Wade wasn't picked ahead of Darko.

Wade has played great in the NBA and no one is saying he is the biggest waste of talent.

Put it this way, if Daugherty had died instead of Bias would he be the biggest waste of talent?

Dumas had a rookie season that Bias would have been ecstatic to match, also had his career ruined by drugs, yet no one is saying he is the biggest waste of talent.
