Worst Starting Player for Every NBA team


Worst Starters

Ok, this is on Bleacher Report, it's over a week old (Jan. 23), and I haven't even clicked through it. But, I have a pretty good guess who the Wolves choice will be. Will BR go for the "I-only-know-the-stereotypes" choice of Darko? Will they make the obvious choice?

Let's start clicking:

Atlanta -- Marvin Williams (who? I mean, if ATL folks don't pay attention to the team, why should I?)

Boston -- Jermaine O'Neal (sounds about right. He can hardly move.)

Charlotte -- Tyrus Thomas (Gulp. Hope CH archives got erased. Cause some poster -- me -- once thought the Wolves should go after TT's shot blocking. Doh!)

Chicago -- Richard Hamilton (Ok, you know you are a good team when your worst starter is good and named due to injuries)

Cleveland -- Omri Casspi (Gulp 2. I won't be taking Kahn's job anytime soon based on my CH posts)

Cool, I've see I made it to the FP limit, and you all don't want to read 30 recaps from me, anyhow. Just keep clicking until you get to the Ms.

lol

I’m still amazed Drexler didn’t realize Wes game against Houston wasn’t an outlier.

Somehow the folks over at TDS

wanted to trade for Wes until the game. I think that changed their minds forever. So Wes’ production is so low it flies under the radar.

please don't use BR for bleacher

I always use br for Basketball-reference which is quite a useful site.

AHHH

Good catch I didnt even think of that I usually go with BBref but to each his own.

I tried to figure out a way to analyze this,

But even figuring out what position these players really play when they start was problematic. I finally went with what position they would play if the Wolves acquired them (if it was unclear.) I figured all but six were either wings or centers. Lots of luck trading Williams for a 2, 3, or 5 of more or less equal value. Most teams got what we got and need what we need.

yup PF is easily the deepest position in the NBA.

I’ve tried 3 times to find reasonable deals for Williams and it’s quite difficult.

Marvin Williams?

Seriously? Bleacher report is awful.

Marvin Williams
is putting up an awesome season. Not only is he not “the worst” player on the Hawks, according to WS/48 and WP/48, he is “the best” player on the Hawks this season.

Yes, wrong year to pick on Williams

I propose a new custom here at CH

Any FanPost or FanShot that involves something from BleacherReport indicates it in the title. Like “[BleacherReport Garbage:] Is Kevin Love a Space Alien?”
