    Haley is easily the worst. But you're wrong about his stats. He played 9 seasons and averaged 9.6 MPG. He had a couple seasons in the rotation in New Jersey early in his career but his biggest claim to fame is being part of 2 60+ win teams in a row (including the best-ever Bulls) solely because he was friends with Dennis Rodman and kept him (somewhat) in check. The man had no basketball skills beyond being tall.

    about half of the posters in this thread have no concept of the actual question asked.

    The fact that people have mentioned potential hall of famers for nominees of this award displays utter r****dedness.

    A good nominee for this award would be Greg Foster:

    13 seasons, 656 games played, 12 minutes per game, 3.9 ppg, 3.5 rpg, .14 spg, .29 bpg,

    Eric Snow played 14 years in the NBA. He was a horrible player for at least 8 of those years and probably closer to 10.

    I mention Tom Gugliotta because he had a near max contract at one time while playing for Minnesota then traded to Phoenix--seemed soft to me

    i agree with you man. i dont know why teams kept signing eric snow. sure he can dribble the ball, but the guy cant hit an open jumper. only times i see him score is when he attacks the basket for a layup.

    I think Greg Ostertag and Massenburg deserve mention.

    Ostertag played 11 years in the NBA with no skill other than being big.

    Massenburg gets bonus points for bouncing around to almost half the teams in the league.

    Joe Kleine (Arkansas) and John koncack (SMU) were considered top college centers (mainly because they were 7 footers) along with one Akeem Olajuwon! We see how that turned out in the NBA. :) UH and Arkansas were at top of SWC in thoses days and had epic battles.
