Worst scorer in NBA history

Look who drafted him!

 

he scores more than eddie griffin currently does

 

i feel like reggie evans was worse than rodman even.

looking it up, he wasn't. He even seems to have been better than Yinka Dare, whom I just looked up for fun cause of the assist thing.

This list doesn't account for differences in pace from year to year. Relatively speaking, we're in a slow-paced era. That's why you see a lot of players from the 90s and 00s on this list.

 

Some people prefer him as our point over Rafer

 

He said NBA history, not just this regular season.

I am sure Charles Jones would be up there somewhere.

That dude could not score on this planet even if you killed all the males on this planet and left him with all the females.... Everyone would turn lesbian and concede extinction.

 

The late Yinka Dare averaged 2.1 points per game and had 4 assists TOTAL for his entire career. Worst offense ever.

 

i wonder what chuck hayes's points per 40 is and how it rankes against those guys. I see a bunch of scrubs besides pryzbilla and wallace

 

Did you look at his stats for todays game? I don't think it can get any worst

0/1 fg, 0 pts, 0 rebs, 0 asts, 5 PF's, 1 TO in 23 of play

Basically, he played 23 mins, fouled 5 times and had 1 turnover.

 

I meant 23 MINS of play, sry for quoting myself, i cant edit posts.

 

1 Michael Ruffin

ROFL, besides not scoring, the guy also throws balls into the air on last-minute situations, letting the other team score. PRICELESS.

We have our "GRAH RAFER WE HATE U" threads, I wonder what its like for Wizards fans with Ruffin (15.4% FG and 29.4% FT this season, rofl).

Sometimes, its nice to smell the roses.

 

Dude he is. He's #2 on that list.

 

Yinka Dare, if you consider assists a part of scoring.

 

Glad durvasa threw out Mike Ruffin. He's a great guy, but his was the first name I thought of when I saw the title of this thread.

 

Ryan Bowen?

 

Man, he went off on December 26th!

 

Man, Ruffin scored few points AND shot a low %. A truely deadly combo. Some of the other non-scorers at least keep their TS% up by only taking easy shots.

For Michael, there are NO easy shots.

 

Must be nice to be the worst scorer in history and also screw up a win in 3 seconds, i.e - Raptors vs. Wizards
