The Random Useless NBA Player thread

[XFactor1979]

In homage to the useless soccer players thread, one for the NBA wall of hack

Eric Mobley- picked for size, really really big, and really really couldnt play

Shawn Respert, a shooting guard who couldnt shoot

Ed O'Bannon - pictured here surprised to catch a ball - with his eyes closed

Mark 'Mad Dog' Madsen - not sure what he did, or what he was trying to do in this picture->

^ He was known more for being on the bench and rapping and stuff

I remember Shawn Respert going to town on a team for Toronto in the 98 season.

Kedrick Brown

Could dunk, and stand in the corner and shoot 30% on 3s. Couldnt do anything else though

 

[XFactor1979]

Was Kedrick brown pronounced "Kendrick" brown with the absent "N"?

Ruben Boumtje Boumtje - big fan of the double name, makes him twice as useless->

Mamadou Ndiaye - apparently had a flare for comedy off the basketball court, comedy capers on the basketball court when he did step on it

Kirk Haston - the former 16th pick in the first round rumoured to be a "zone breaker"

Yinka Dare - His first game in NBA history? Shot an airball, and then buggered his knee up, if cricket had Chris Martin for batting, Yinka Dare was the Chris Martin of assists

BJ Tyler, signed up for the Toronto Raptors in their inaugural expansion squad, decided to fall asleep in training with AN ICE PACK on his knee

Jason "Jay" Williams - singlehandedly put Chicago's rebuilding plans 5 years backwards, his name is not even worth mentioning for players that donned a Bulls uniform

Dajuan Wagner - looking confused as to where to put the ball next in this picture, as always

Hey, Dajuan Wagner once had a 100 point game in high school, and averaged 42.5 points a game. Didn't translate too well to the higher levels though.

And a bit on Shawn Respert

Shawn Respert begins his first season in Minnesota after serving three seasons in Houston as the Rockets’ Director of Player Programs. Respert will be responsible for assisting in all of the team’s player development initiatives. Previously, he was the Director of Basketball Operations for the NBA D-League.

Respert, who spent nearly two years at the D-League offices in New York, also spent two-and-a-half years working in a similar capacity at Rice University as its Director of Basketball Operations.

A former college Player of the Year at Michigan State from 1990-95, Respert was chosen by the Portland Trail Blazers with the eighth overall selection in the 1995 NBA Draft. After having his draft rights traded to Milwaukee, Respert played a total of four NBA seasons with the Bucks (1995-96, 1996-97), Toronto Raptors (1996-97, 1997-98), Dallas Mavericks (1997-98) and Phoenix Suns (1998-99). Following his NBA career, he went on to play four years in the European Basketball League, including stints with Olympiakos, Milano, Near East, Imola and Stargard.
