I voted for Eric Williams because Pryz used to be good and it feels unfair to punish him now for being old.

We did this thread over on BCP awhile back, Gana won with Lexy being a close second

pryz is my next pick in the scavenger draft. haha. he was injured when he was here, so he doesnt get my vote. i voted for collins. higgins would have been less awful had he not been forced to play out of position at pg. burleson should get some votes though. he's probably the worst offensive player i have seen in a bobcats jersey.

oops, didnt mean to try to steal content.
as much as we all like to crap on gana for being so underwhelming, hard to see how he is the worst bobcat ever. he at least can rebound and take up space in front of the rim.

eric williams was once a decent player, prior to his injuries. in his 2nd year he averaged 15ppg. i think he destroyed his knees or something in his 3rd year.

lol not complaining, just posted it for comparison's sake. With so many posters not crossing over to both places you generally get a different-ish take on a lot of the same topics.
I don't think Gana is the worst Bobcat ever, but I don't think I'd include guys like Moon, Slay, Temple, EWill, or Gorilla because they didn't get enough burn to count (IMHO). I went with Lexy because I did it on a half ass sliding scale of production vs expectation.
Of the list we have here, I have to go with Burleson. I just don't understand how a guy can play 39 games and still only shoot 25% from the floor.

I feel like the real credit should go to players who played (and sucked) a lot. Jeff McInnis did considerably more damage to the Bobcats than any of these players, IMO.

I started following the team when McInnis was around. I have yet to see a worse player than him.

You know a guy is horrible when he played 33 games for your team and you still have no idea who he is. Theron Smith it is.

Sherron Collins wasn't THAT bad. He's just fat

The play of Moon at the end of last year was some of the worst I had ever seen.
I know its not a reflection of his career, but how many airballs can one man shoot?
Why would you sign a player who was mainly known for his athleticism, when he is old and has lost it?
It was only 8 games but I have to give it to him.

After readig just the title I was ready to vote for Sam Vincent. Then I notice eligibility requirements. I am going to abstain, I don't really know players from the first season like Smith and Slay so I can't really compate their uselessness (I'm sure fat mentioned them for a reason) to Burleson's one. But his no scoring streak was pretty special. And I think Sean May deserves a mention, over Ammo and Gana at least. We should include games he didn't play for averages - Injury: Conditioning.

Theron Smith was supposed to be a starter/rotational player and was hyped that way during the expansion draft. At least Slay was energetic and wanted to be here. I would have said Burleson because he was putrid but he was decent in D-League, proving that he at least had some skill. Temple is still in the NBA. So its between Sherron Collins and Smith. My vote goes to Smith, because Collins had no expectations and at least was a somebody, even if it was college

i get what you are saying. i'd consider some of those guys to be more disappointing than simply awful. after this poll is done i am going to make another for the "most disappointing bobcat of all-time", they guys who failed to live up to expectations. it will include: morrison, may, ajinca, okafor, felton, diaw, augustin etc...

In my opinion, Collins seemed the worst. Dude was miles away from the level of a regular NBA point guard.

Was planning on voting for Burelson, then i looked up Sherron Collins numbers and then...wow he sucked. Guys like Eric Williams, Joel Pryzbilla, Jamario Moon and such get passes because they were veterans who much wasn't expected of.

My vote is for Collins. Maybe it was photoshoped, but I once saw a picture of him, and dude had early on set Dun lap's disease. (No offense to coach)
For those unfamiliar that means his stomach dun lapped over his belt.

I voted Higgins simply because he has no business on the team, but he is on it because of his father.
