Most useless "superstars"

Post #1 » by **penbeast0** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 5:42 pm

Looking for the least valuable player to ever average one of the following averages (not just due to injuries, must have played significant games during the stretch they averaged their numbers):

Least useful 25 ppg scorer (20 ppg for active player):

Least useful 12 rpg rebounder (10 rpg for active player):

Least useful 10 apg playmaker (8 apg for active player):

Other stats like shotblocking and steals are too peripheral; Manute Bol for example may have been the greatest shotblocker in NBA history but was just not a good defensive player and a zero on the offensive end.

Coleman? he barely cracked 20 ppg in his best year; 25 is a pretty high mark especially if you ignore ABA numbers. I would guess the most useless would be a low percentage gunner with no defense and no great secondary skill like rebounding, playmaking, or drawing fouls.

michael redd/VC

zach randolph

marbury

that'd be my guess.

PTS: VC

RBS: Zebo

AST: Tinsley/Starbury

I hate VC, but he got the Raptors to the 2nd round once, and also helped the Nets get there. How many times has TMAC done that? Wow you Raptor fans should just let it go.

mike james 20 ppg was worthless. We lost all the games he scored 30+ in

For this season

Scorer:

Jamal Crawford (though before Knicks fans get mad... look at the rest of list of guys averaging 20 or above)

Rebounder:

Zach Randolph (ouch, another Knick)

Playmaker:

Jamaal Tinsley (easily in comparison to the rest of the list)

Who would get mad? We know we suck.

Scorer: Crawford, if he isn't considered a star, than TMac, Carter, or Joe Johnson(this season only, every other season he wasn't worthless, his FG% is horrid).

Rebounder: Al Jefferson (who else is going to get the rebound on Minny)

Playmaker Tinsley, if not a star, than Marbury or Nash(so mannyyyy turnovers).

T-Mac's scoring single handedly won games for the Magic for about four seasons. We wouldn't have won a game without him.

eyejayem · Post #18 » by **eyejayem** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 11:14 pm

scorer: Corey Maggette (no matter ho much he scores he doesnt help his team at all)

rebounds: Zach Randolf ( the worst double-double guy in basketball history)

Assist: Brevin Knight ( The most empty assists I have seen, never a starter but great passer but never amounted to wins)

This thread made me realize just how bad the Knicks are.

Purvis Short at Golden State in the mid-80s. He scored a lot because he had the ball a lot.
