Most Harmful Players of the Decade (by yearly RAPM)

I've been posting lists of players who have most consistently done extremely well by yearly RAPM numbers, so I thought it would be fun to do one for the players with the worst ratings. I took the yearly values, normalized them for variance, and ranked them based on how many years they were really bad, and just how bad they were. Note that a player so bad he never plays isn't going to qualify so presumably these aren't the worst players, just the ones who have had the opportunity to do the most harm.
They are ranked here (by an arbitrary method I just made up), and listed with how many years they've been -1.5, -2, -2.5, and -3 standard deviations below average.
Enjoy.
Code: Select all
Player -1.5 -2 -2.5 -3
1. Josh Powell 5 5 3 2
2. Hakim Warrick 6 3 1 1
3. JJ Hickson 4 3 2 0
4. Solomon Jones 6 2 0 0
5. Marcus Banks 4 4 0 0
6. Drew Gooden 4 2 2 0
7. Deshawn Stevenson 5 2 0 0
8. Damien Wilkins 4 3 0 0
9. Jeff McInnis 4 3 0 0
10. Juwan Howard 5 1 0 0

Antoine ranked decently high in his prime.
I'm surprised Warrick (who is the worst defender 99% of the time) isn't last.

Re: who? I edited. Typo.
Re: Walker. I was wondering if he'd show up. So you know, Walker never qualified for my -1.5 or worse 'shame' list, but after '03 he never rates better than 0, and he almost hits that -1.5 mark in his last two years as a starter ('04 & '03).

No Raptors players? I think your algorithm needs work.

3 of those guys have been Lebron's teammates. 1 was on his Cavalier 60 win teams, and 2 were on his Finals teams.
