Worst starter in the Finals during the last decade 

Post#1 » by raptor21_85 » Sun Jan 17, 2010 11:20 pm

Who do you think was the worst starter in the last decade druing the Finals series.

Jason Collins comes to my mind. the guy was awful I think he averaged 6 pt and 6 rbnds.
Is there another one worse?

D-Fish immediately came to mind but after you think about it there were much worse players. I think Jason Collins is a good choice...

In the Finals? D-Fish was clutch against the Sixers and Magic.

Collins was very good defender, so he don’t belong here. But this guys definitely do:
2001 - Jumaine Jones
2002 - Todd MacCulloch
2004 - Stanislav Medvedenko and Devean Gorge
2005 - Nazr Mohammed
2006 - Desegana Diop and Adrian Griffin
2007 - Sasha Pavlovic

If those were his numbers, it might have been career highs for him in points and rebounds.
