Great on one end, terrible on the other end

Which NBA players are great on one side of the court but terrible on the other side of the court? For example Make Eaton was a two time DPOY who one year averaged 5.6 blocks per game which has never been approached. However on the offensive side of the court, Eaton was a non-factor whose only significant contribution was setting solid picks with his massive size.

Magic wasn't a bad defender, he was average. Barkley on the other hand.......

Wallace and Nash were the first two to come to mind in terms of guys who aren't just role players who don't get many minutes. I haven't watched either a lot this year though, so feel free to correct me on Nash.

Are you kidding me? Magic Johnson was not a terrible defender. He wasn't as good on D as he was on O, but he definitely wasn't terrible, not even close.

Magic was a bad defener. He wasnt terrible, but he was below average.
