#1 Jerome James
#2 Malik Rose
#3 Q Rich
#5 Eddy Curry


you can seriously make an argument for those 4 being in the lowest 10 players in the whole league.... Maybe im stretching with Eddy but, the way I look at it.. the amount of damage he does on the defensive end is unreal. He is by far the worst defensive big man in the league, and i'd honestly say in history. He does so much damage to your team when hes on the floor its insane......

Cut at least 2 of these bums it would literally be addition by subtraction pls donnie i beg you

I think you need to qualify that to guys who actually get some run. Because these guys aren't worse than Jamison Brewer types...

oohah
Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Malik's not that bad. He's just a little older now, but he was always a decent player, no? Useful PF playing next to Duncan on championship teams in San Antonio. Back in the day he was close to a David Lee, Jason Maxiell, Paul Millsap --- somewhere close to that level.

The other guys I'll go along with. Q's shouldn't be in this list technically, but he's been dreadful for us so why not... Curious, who's your #4 guy Elite?

Malik with the Spurs is not Malik with the Knicks......... He has been our worst player that has actually gotten playing time.. If you put his defense and curry's offense together you might have something... But Malik might be the worstoffensive player in the league while eddy is the worst defensive player..

When Malik makes a play, you expect him to fail. its a shock when he does something positive.. If i see Malik with the ball its not like i get dissapointed that he misses a shot or gets called for a travel... you expect it.. when he MAKES a basket you laugh like "wow thats crazy". Thts how you know hes bad

I'd put JJSkinny in there too.

But probably not Curry, despite the fact that he's infuriating.

I don't thin you will get much of an arguement. If they aren't the worst they might just about be the worst.

Curry is much worse than either Jeffries or Rose.

Curry is not worse than Jefferies or Rose... there's a difference between being out of shape & just plain being garbage... Curry can at least score in the paint... what does Jefferies do well? a fish impersonation?

I think the argument could be made that they are overpaid for their contribution on the court. If the article was about contracts then I would agree totally. Q's contract is not even insured and I am not sure about Curry.

It's not his being out of shape that makes him worse than Jeffries and Rose: it's his being worse. Jeffries, for all the UK dislike sent his way actually (surprisingly) makes a positive impact as measured by the adjusted +/- stats (basically +/- stats mathematically adjusted so as to control for the quality of your teammates and the opposition 5 you face). Rose, while a negative, is only costing us about 3 points net. Curry has a terrible -16 figure here. Our once touted franchise player is actually worth 16 points more to our opponents than to us!!

You failed to mention Roberson - who is definitely up there. Eddy doesn't count because he could go out and get 20 tomorrow - he's top ten wasted talents.

We have probably more than that in the top 20 if you throw in Malik, Mardy, and Jeffries. Half the team blows. It's just the reality that Isiah Thomas left us with.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Name 1 thing Mardy can do well. He's OK on defense and thats about all I'll give him at this point.

i can come up w/a decent list of guys in the NBA i'd much rather have Mardy than, but really why waste both our times? let's just say i don't think he's the worst player in the NBA... there's plenty of others i'd put on that list ahead of him... i think Mardy has some serviceable role player skills.

Fair enough... I'll stand by my claim that he is the worst active non-rookie in the NBA until proven wrong.
