@@shanefrederick7731 Yep, you summed it up pretty well sir. I have been a Kings fan since C-Webb Peja era and man, it's been hard on me these past almost 15 years or so…
Kings was the reason Evans didn’t improve tbh. At that time, PG at that height is still rare so Kings though he would be better at SG/SF when he’s clearly a PG where he’s comfortable playing at. Now look at some PGs now having forward heights
FACTS. As a rookie Evans was a matchup problem for every NBA PG + showed his potential 2 be a top 10 PG for the next decade.. But the Kings like to lose so they ruined TEvans
That and the coaching ruined him as well Not just in how they moved his positions, Paul Westphal was a decent coach… in 1993. By 2010 he was basically exposed as a talent merchant and retread.
Brandon Jennings got injured, I remember how good he was and he was never the same after... And Okafor was actually good, he even had a resurgence on the Pelicans although he's not a good defender that is true. The Sixers ruined a bunch of players and wasted a ton of potential because they didn't want to win.
Now we need players who peaked too late, like say someone who’s team could’ve used him in his peak during those prime years but he didn’t peak until after
Derons body failed him. He got to Brooklyn and wanted to be paid like a #1 option but didn’t want to be a leader. Ankle issues, attitude issues, and weight problems messed him up. I wish he was still contributing on a team.
Nah he hit rock bottom in 2002-2003 (age-30, benched midseason), but enjoyed a career renaissance the next 4 years. In fact, 2004-2005 (age-32) was his best season since he left Toronto in 1998. The reality is he was never that good. He padded stats early in his career with the expansion Raptors, but the Raptors didn't see him as a franchise cornerstone and traded him because Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady needed higher usage. The Blazers had a stacked roster in the late '90s/early 2000s, so Stoudamire became just a rotation piece.
Damon stoudamire although he never produced the stats like his rookie year had decent seasons for the blazers so i dont think he should be included in this list.
Brandon knight had multiple injuries that seriously hurt his progression/potential. Not sure why you included him when you specifically said you wouldn’t include players who suffered injuries.
Jennings tore his Achilles and came back from it. Like obviously he fell off. I watched this for Ben Gordon but dude doesn't even include that trainwreck.
@@tims4502 you never had him for a whole season and when he was on the court for you he was giving you twenty points a night, so imagine if he wasn’t dealing with the injuries
IMO the definition of washed was not as good as they used to be, that applies to drose, even if ur a super fan of his he’s not an all star anymore and most likely never will be again, he’s still a great nba player, especially as a 6th man on a contender, but in my definition he’s washed
As a kid who grew up in Utah, D-Will and Boozer were awesome. Too bad they both wanted to leave and never had quite as much success without Jerry Sloan
It's a bit misleading to say MCW peaked in his first game. He fully deserved that rookie of the year award, he was a walking triple double for the whole season.
@@realniggashit3 Pretty much. The Sixers knew he wasn't going to turn around the franchise so they correctly traded him while his value was at its highest. That said, MCW still earned RotY because nobody else had a stronger argument. I'm totally fine with handing the award to a guy who was thrust into a hopeless situation and tried to carry an awful team as best he could. RotY isn't an award for whom you think will have the best career moving forward.
This video reminded me just how rough it was being a Bucks fun before Giannis started our revival, like 4 of these players were on our team at one point 😞
... so are we going to acknowledge Brandon Knight tearing his ACL (I believe twice) and Brandon Jennings blowing his achilles out? Cause you mentioned D.Rose being excluded here for injuries and those two should be for the same reason. The ACL tears and achilles tear ended their carriers/productivity directly
to put Deron Williams on this list is crazy. Against Denver in 2010 he averaged 26 and 11 on 49% from the field and 48% from 3. matter of fact after that san antonio series he went 5 straight playoff series average at least 20 points and 8 assist. the ankle injury is the only thing that made him fall off. you should’ve put drose on the list as well
Michael Carter-Williams, Jahlil Okafor, Nerlens Noel, Markell’s Fultz, Ben Simmons. The 76ers had way to many misses and chances. They was always about trust the process.
You said you were not going to include devastating injuries and then you named Brandon Jennings whose career was ruined by injuries and he was actually quite good in Detroit until he was hurt.

My man MC Dub used up his entire career's worth of rocket sauce on 1 game, also happened to be his 1st game lol. Some guys use it up on 1 game like that, some guys have an entire careers worth of sauce. A sauce boss
In Okafor's case, it wasn't 100% his fault. He wasn't just asked to adjust. He was asked to completely change his style of play. With his style, he won championships at every level of basketball until the NBA and became the 3rd pick in the draft. Then, the NBA decided that his style was no good.
Thank you for not putting drose in this! I’d say his skills are even better now, he just doesn’t have the crazy 1 of a kind speed and explosiveness as before
Brandon Knight turned into a meme for the Jordan dunk, kyrie cross, and blowing that wide open layup to win a game. That’s tough to come back from
Impossible to come back from that. He should have gone to China and tried to get his sauce back. He was slandered to oblivion in America

One of my first thoughts was Andrew Bynum
Time to add Ben Simmons to this list.
In Okafor's case, it wasn't 100% his fault. He wasn't just asked to adjust. He was asked to completely change his style of play. With his style, he won championships at every level of basketball until the NBA and became the 3rd pick in the draft. Then, the NBA decided that his style was no good.
Injuries, coaching , devlopment , bad roles, roster construction , empty stats , free raims, also free raims gone
Hoping Ben Simons doesn’t end up on this list 🙏🏾🙏🏾
He will be lmao
Thank you for not putting drose in this! I’d say his skills are even better now, he just doesn’t have the crazy 1 of a kind speed and explosiveness as before
