I honestly don't remember any one of those players. They must have been really bad.

The worst. Gaines was a pretty good player at Louisville but looked awful in games. Vazquez stood us up completely after we drafted him 11th. The absolute worst was Jeryl The Harasser Sasser. Trash personified.
My opinion may not be your opinion or their opinion but I have it.

He was my first one for the Celtics.

Other candidates include:

-- Paul "Thanksdad" Gaston
-- John Y. Brown
-- Vin Baker
-- David Lee and Jermaine O'Neal
-- the coke users of the 1970s
-- Joe Forte, who was impulsively drafted after Tony Parker already had a Celtics cap
-- Kedrick Brown, who was kept over Joe Johnson in a trade

and, more controversially:
-- Judas Shuttlesworth
-- Len Bias, RIP

Keith Bogans probably doesn't make the cut.

I think Blount, Baker and Gaston all have to be on the memorial dungheap. But John Y. Brown quickly sold the team, and pretty much all his damage was undone, so he gets a pass from me.

For the Spurs, it would have to be Kawhi with four different facial.... never mind.

I don't think it's fair to just say "worst" players because then I'd just put the 15th man on the roster over 4 random years. I'm picking the 4 most damaging, frustrating, cancerous players I can think of right now.

-Andrea Bargnani
-Rafael Araujo
-Bryan Colangelo
-Rob Babcock

Honourable mentions: Rudy Gay, Alan Anderson, Will Solomon, Yogi Stewart, Alonzo Mourning, Landry Fields, hell even Hakeem. The raptors need a whole mountain range

Lakers:

There have been worse than Travis Knight. Remember when the Celtics swooped him up after his rookie year and gave him a Brinks truck? Haha. Travis' blaring whiteness was too much for them to pass up.

Hedo Turkoglu:
Putting up 17-5-5 in Orlando in '09, he then put up 11-4-4 with complete disregard for the franchise, even faking sickness one game night to attend a nightclub IN TOWN.
Andrea Bargnani: #1 pick disaster...
Aleksander Radojevic: Lottery #12 pick who played a total of THREE GAMES in the league.

Side note: there are a number of worse players than Bargnani to have played for our franchise, but not as a #1 pick...


Nice list... there's a ton of other Raptors candidates for this honor:

Greg Foster
Rafael Araujo
Milt Palacio
Rob Babcock

We've barely picked in the lottery the last 30 years, and Yao was fine. I'll take a different tack than most and go with those who disappointed me personally.

Moiso turned out pretty decent though. James Young picked before Gary Harris, Capela or Jokic is criminal though.
