This is based on 242 NBA players polling about their fellow players. I guess a good percentage agrees with fans that Kwame Brown sucks for an athletic 7 footer with talent who plays with ZERO confidence and ZERO aggressiveness 909642

i dont get the rippin darko thing, in detriot would you take an experienced ben wallace or a rookie?? i personally take ben. Darko never got playing time and game and practice speed are totally different. i think i would hold off on darko for now and see how he does. Also i think Amare should be on this list, no it isnt the lack of work he puts in, and he does have skills, he is just made of china. i dont understand how anyone can get paid so much to sit in a suit on the bench. 900101

Rasheed Wallace needs to be included on this list. Yes, he is a good offensive and defensive player, but he should've been GREAT. He's equally adept playing the post-up game as he is on the perimeter. And his offense is as good as his defense. No one in the league...Kober, Dirk, Duncan, etc... is as versatile as he is. When you consider Rasheed's size, height, and athleticism, no one is even close. He should've been one of the best players of his generation, if not the best. Instead, his volatile personality, immaturity, and poor work ethics made him into a 2nd-tier player. 897557

Rasheed Wallace should be on the list. There's no denying that he's an extremely talented player who's good on both offense and defense... but he should've been GREAT. When you consider his ability to score on the post and from the perimeter, no one in the league...Kobe, Dirk, or Duncan...is as versatile as he is. It's not even close. Rasheed Wallace should've been one of the best players of his generations, but his volatile personality and poor work habits made him into a 2nd tier player. 897533

I agree. Kwame Brown probably does get the least out the most talent. 895242

I think tis is a stupid poll; Atleast the list is stupid; Kwame has no talent so what is there to make the most of? The question is prolly applicable for ppl like Vince and tMac and such who clearly have talent and skill. Kwame? no sorry 894055

I remember how excited I was when the Wizards drafted Kwame. It took about half a season to realize his effort level and label him "last one down the floor Kwame". The silver lining in the cloud is the Wizards got Caron Butler for him. That has hot to be one of the best/worst trades of all time. So in retrospect Kwame made a greater contribution to the Wizards than one could have hoped. Thank you Kwame! 891840

7/10 players on this list have either been signed/traded-for by Isiah Thomas, or rumored to have been coveted by Isiah. 890979

Kwame Brown is the knee-jerk response because Michael Jordan drafted him at #1 and he flopped. Show me proof of this alleged "talent" and we'll talk. This guy doesn't even have FLASHES of brilliance. Jason Williams comes to mind. Could be a consistently great passer and good scorer, but basically does neither with any regularity. Tim Thomas is a good one too because at times he seems like the best player on the court, and other times he's invisible. Doesn't seem to try. Curry's got the body and not the heart. Also doesn't like to defend or rebound -- sounds like 85 percent of the NBA. 889827

Which player gets the least out of the most talent? Kwame Brown, Lakers C...... 17% Tim Thomas, Clippers F...... 10% Eddy Curry, Knicks C...... 7% Vince Carter, Nets G...... 6% Darko Milicic, Grizzlies C/F...... 5% Tracy McGrady, Rockets G...... 4% Darius Miles, Trail Blazers SF...... 4% Stromile Swift, Grizzlies C/F...... 3% J.R. Smith, Nuggets SG...... 3% Gerald Green, Timberwolves G/F...... 2% Based on a survey of 242 NBA Players FAST FACTS: Drafted No. 1 out of high school by the Wizards in 2001, Brown has averaged more than 10 points in a season only once (2003-04); this year he was averaging 4.8 points in 20 games through Sunday.... The 6'10" Thomas has played for six teams in 11 years, never averaging better than 5.0 rebounds a season.... Carter has averaged more than 20 points in nine straight seasons. This is an expanded version of the NBA poll from the January 21, 2008 issue of Sports Illustrated. What's your take on this poll? Do you agree with the players?  2256
