Aww..Haley wasn't that bad. He was a good locker room guy. Schintzius...Bateer..those were some bad players...Bateer had .8 points and .8 rebounds per game. That's pretty horrible.

[The Truth #6]

Hughes was more like worst draft pick ever. Someone like Ed Nealy, an 8th round draft pick, would be more like a bad player, though even he got praise from Jordan.

We should probably just go to the year with the worst record (88/89?) and find the worst player.

Bateer lasted with the team a lot longer than Alfrederick the Great did. He went from starter to waiver wire like 3-4 months into his career. You NEVER see a team just completely bail on a guy they picked around 15; even worse, no other team in the league gave him so much as a second look. I remember going to games when he was our starting three and everybody in the arena was disgusted watching him. About the only worse first round pick I can think of was Len Bias.

[SenorSpur]

Oliver Robinson. 1st round draft pick of the Spurs out of UAB in '82 or '83. Tabbed as PG of the future. It turned out he was PG of the nothing. Never played. Certainly wasn't as hyped as Alfredrick "the Great" Hughes, who was much worse in terms of failed expectations.

[I Love Me Some Me]

Sidney Green

Dammit...you stole mine.

David Wingate was my second choice...

would have been a greater player than jordan. :(

[florige]

Jack Haley or David Wood.



:lol I started watching the Spurs when David Robinson got drafted so anybody before that I am not too sure about. But I don't think Haley should be included in this conversation for the simple fact he never really had the chance to come in and suck. His main purpose I thought was to help control Rodman. lol I think this should be limited to players who got regular playing time at some point and flat out didn't contribute anything when they did come in. Mine is a toss-up between Mighty Mouse, and Van Exel. Those two came in with high expectations to booster us at the pg position and pretty much became a liability anytime they came into the game and actually made us worse.

[Silverheart80]

Sidney Green -- still the laziest player I've ever seen in a Spurs uniform.

Anybody remember that photo of Bateer chillin' at Tim Duncan's house? Still don't know what was that about?

[rascal]

Some guy that nobody will even think about who was on a 10 day contract.

[katuso]

Van Exel

[smrattler]

No contest for me.

Considering he was our first round draft pick (24th overall) and was supposed to allow us to, on occasion, do a twin towers thing with DRob. Turns out the only thing he was known for was A) his mullet and B) being in a movie with Woopie Goldberg that nobody ever saw...

I played ball with him the summer he was drafted...........and no shitting you........Hughes was blocked by a 14yr kid that played JV basketball at Jay Highschool. Damn near threw his shot over a 10ft. fence.

[buttsR4rebounding]

How about Simmie Hill? I remember a game when Gervin was getting beat up. I think Nissalke was coach. He sent in Simmie. He set a screen for Gervin and laid out the defender with a vicious elbow. He was ejected, but no one touched Gervin the rest of the game. Now that was basketball...good times.:ihit

[Marcus Bryant]

In absolute terms, the worst Spur will be someone like Bateer whose best quality is his presence. IIRC, the reason the Spurs acquired him was because Mark Bryant deemed him the strongest player in the league to wrestle in the post (dammit where is that link?) It was rather amusing, because it sounds like something I'd see written on this forum or overhear some drunk Jim Bob spew at a game. 'It's like wrasslin' a bear'.

Otherwise you have players who failed to live up to the hype. Hughes is obviously at the top of that list. I'd put Pressey up there even though his stats were ok because he cost the Spurs Brick and his acquisition just didn't make much sense.

Mercer was pretty bad. The Spurs paid him to go away. That takes some doing.

[Marcus Bryant]

IMO, one of the worst Spurs was Rod Strickland. Between the broken wrist and the no look pass he definitely screwed up some golden chances in DRob's early years.

Alfredrick Hughes (born July 19, 1962 in Chicago, Illinois) is a retired American professional basketball player who was selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round (14th overall) in the 1985 NBA Draft. A 6'5" (1.96 m) shooting guard from Loyola University Chicago, Hughes played in only one NBA season. He played for the Spurs during the 1985-86 NBA season, appearing in 68 games and averaging 5.2 ppg.

Vaughn did hit a couple of really big shots in game 6 vs Phoenix in '07. No way he belongs. As for Schintzius, everyone knew the Spurs were really rolling the dice in an AWFUL draft when they picked him.

Hi, Everybody!

MB -- you've got a lead contender for "Dumbest Spur Ever", thanks to his "show me the respect" off-season back when....

[spursncowboys]

Dwayne Schintzius

:ihit The man who brought the mullet to San Antonio? He is a legend in all the trailerparks off I90.

[superbigtime]

Michael Finley

Come on man, get a clue. Finley has won us some games and has kept us in many more. He certainly has done more for this franchise than...

Linton Johnson III

[Spursrups]

Tie between these gems:

Peter Gudmundsson
Dallas Comegys
Sean Higgins

[SpursDynasty]

I have never seen in the history of all basketball, not just Spurs, any other basketball player play as badly as Ime Udoka.

Yes, he put up #s in SA, but he was one of the worst thanks to the friggin' sideshow. Not to mention not rotating out on Horry in Game 1 of the '95 WCF.

Beat me to it.

Yes, Rodman was productive, but he cost us a playoff series (taking off shoes, refusing to enter? something like that) and wasted a good deal of our precious Robinson window.

[Baseline]

On a lot of nights, Michael Finley.

On a lot of other nights, Jacque Vaughn.

Yes, there are worse players, but there are nights when Finley absolutely kills us - when he brings zero to the table defensively, and bricks jumpers all night long.

[lefty]

Moses malone

[Capt Bringdown]

Wiley Peck

For playing a game with his shorts on backwards.

[LakerHater]

IMO, one of the worst Spurs was Rod Strickland. Between the broken wrist and the no look pass he definitely screwed up some golden chances in DRob's early years.



Please, Don't remind me!!:(

BINGO! He wasn't as bad as Bateer though.

[LakerHater]

BINGO! He wasn't as bad as Bateer though.
He was actually decent but, his knees were the worst in SPURS shorts!

Did no one bring up Cadillac Anderson? How Zarko Paspaj, Uwe Blab, Kurt Nimphius?

What about the human pump fake, JR Reid?

I think Malik took that title away. Malik was so bad, I was playing NBA Live and put Malik in the game just so I could give him the ball down low and pump fake about 3 or 4 times before I tried to get off a shot.

[lefty]

Paspalj was good

[Marcus Bryant]

https://www.beckett.com/images/pgitems/91010801.jpg

What? Brick was good and a part of one of the worst trades in franchise history.

[Steve-O-Matic]

Not even close: Ed Nealy.

Hey !

I remember Nealy hitting a wide open jumper on a pass from Jordan :lol

[Hemotivo]

that guy who was coach of the bucks

Larry Krystkowiak

[baseline bum]

But Bateer...I will argue this till the cows come home..Mengke Bateer... Averaged .8 points and .8 rebounds a game. A 6'11" monster that averaged less than a point and even worse, less than a rebound per game?

He still lasted a full season on a championship team. Hughes actually got minutes and couldn't produce, and he was cut from a team that was the celler-dweller of the division. Plus, Bateer brought us Jimmy Chang, the coolest guy ever on an NBA bench.

No way. Brick was an awesome enforcer for this team, and the fans at Hemisfair LOVED him.

[baseline bum]

Not even close: Ed Nealy.

Neals is a really cool guy. Got to shoot around with him one time at Blossom Athletic Center when I was a kid, and he lifted me up so I could dunk. :lol

[smrattler]

I'll stick with Dwayne Schintzhead, because he was a first round pick and the expectations, etc. SUCKED...

But for a guy given the most mins/opportunity, I have to say it's Carl Herrera. Played a lot of mins and would only get like 4 boards? SUCK....

[PuttPutt]

Paspalj was good

REALLY?? Dude was WAY overrated.

[Tbam327]

Dwayne SHITSUS!!!! Hands down whith that stupid lobster tail.......Great White DOPE

[Toni61]

Charlie Ward not the worst but worst

[sheriee84]

Worst player- I don't know...
Worst SPUR- Rodman.... for sure!

Jackie Butler :bang

Gino Manubili

2008 Robert Horry.

[phyzik]

Denis Rodman for costing us a championship.

[lefty]

2008 Robert Horry.

Who had 2 big 3's in game 7 vs Hornets

Plus, he would have nailed a winning 3 if Parker passed him the ball in game 1 vs Lakers

[SenorSpur]

really Vinny...??? That's blasphemy.

Hell yeah, Vinny.

Dude was hyped by Bob Bass as a replacement PG for Rod Strickland. Forget the fact that he wasn't a PG. He wasn't even a good SG.

The King of choke and empty numbers. Putting up 20 points versus the Clippers is not the same as 22 points versus the Rockets or Fakers.

No heart. More interested in improving his golf game rather than this basketball game.

Nick "the decrepit" Van Exel isn't far behind.

Gotta show some hate for my man, Zarko Paspaji. The Spurs FIRST and WORST international player. Dude was so hooked on cancer sticks that he smoked at halftime.

[sook]

another Udoke hate thread?

[Sabatian]

Dwayne Schintzius

[GervinGirl]

Steve Bardo

He played 1 minute of 1 game for the Spurs in the 91-92 season. Here is the box score:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199202190SAS.html

In that one minute he got 1 rebound. That's it.

He played in 23 games for Dallas. He played 9 games for Detroit.

Total NBA career: 33 games

[waly.mg]

Glenn Robinson

[baseline bum]

Glenn Robinson

FAIL. Glenn Robinson was a pretty big part of wiping out a large Pistons lead in the first quarter of game 1 of the 05 Finals.

[Obstructed_View]

FAIL. Glenn Robinson was a pretty big part of wiping out a large Pistons lead in the first quarter of game 1 of the 05 Finals.

Agreed. He showed the value of a guy who could hit midrange jumpers as well as a guy who could score without a lot of touches. He deserves a nod as one of the most valuable role players in Spurs history.

I do like the Mark Bryant suggestion, I was so happy when he left Portland, couldn't shoot to save his life!

I remember Bryant doing pretty well keeping Shaq from going nuts in games 1 and 2 of the 02 series in LA. I thought he did a pretty good job filling in for David until he could return in game 3.
