How about the late 70s?

Robert "Bubbles" Hawkins. Would love to know how he got that nickname.

Lead the league worst 1976-77 New York Nets in points scored at the age of just 22. Scored 44 points in one game, 20+ points in 27 games that year. Averaged 19.3 pts/g. Was really good at drawing fouls.

Did literally nothing after that.

Calbert Cheaney. Pretty generic ball player for a guy who started in about 500 games.

Someone already mentioned Pat Garrity so I’ll go with a few other Magic legends: Andrew DeClercq, Michael Doleac, & John Amaechi.

Antoine Rigaudeau

Euro legend. Nelly was super high on this guy before he came over to the Mavs. He was soo bad. The guy literally couldn't get the ball over half court against NBA players. When he did he'd end up bricking a shot or getting stuffed. He only played a handful of games, but he lost a few of them on his own just from being incompetent.
