    So, I was watching some youtube videos of street ball and had a Bobby Brown sighting. I got to thinking, has there ever been anyone with less talent/skill/potential on an NBA roster? He was like a poor mans Reymond Felton (which is saying something).

    So enlighten me Clutchfans, who are the all time worst NBA players??

    This is probably not true, but I'm voting Brian Cook.

    I dunno, Bobby Brown could at least hit some threes. There's a reason he earned the nickname "Garbage Mamba."

    Bobby Brown at least hit threes. Remember that guy that shot underhand free throws a couple years ago? Lmao, I think he might have been more of a waste

    I completely forgot about this dude when I made the thread... Marcelo Huertas. I think the Lakers played him to help tank during Kobe's farewell tour.

    This is an inexact science, but it might provide some insight.


    I came up with a metric of entire career (combined) with an average of 10 mpg and at least 5 FG per game. Assorted by WS in ascending order.

    Criteria, I placed emphasis on prolonged awfulness, I omitted rookies and younger players, because of potential improvements and learning curves. You cannot compare teenagers to 5 and 10+ year vets.

    *Only listing players with 5 or more seasons.

    Top 10 Worst players ever with at least 5 seasons played assorted by win shares.

    1. Woody Sauldsberry (1958 - 66), 27.7 MPG - 13.6 FGA - 34 FG%, 34 eFG%, 61 FT%, and 369 TS%. Positive metric: 7.8 9rebs, but relatively to era ... not great.

    2. Bill Dinwiddie (1968-1972), -2.2 WS
    3. Corey Benjamin
    4. Chuck Noble
    5. Steve Burtt
    6. Mark Macon
    7. Anthony Avent
    8. John Amaechi
    9. Rusty Larue
    10. George Wilson
