Most Forgettable Player

David Statman (@DJStatman77):

Remember when Ryan Hollins was on the Wizards? No? I rest my case.

Winner: Ryan Hollins

Nithin Kuchibhotla (@NKuchibhhotla):

I thought about Marcus Thornton or Alan Anderson in this spot but I’m actually going to remember them very well for different reasons.

Thornton literally removed the joy from watching basketball and Anderson shocked me for his good standing with the team while playing in about 10% of available games.

The guy I’m going with in this spot is Drew Gooden, who was inexplicably re-signed this summer in Ernie Grunfeld’s attempt to put together the worst pace-and-space roster of all time.

To make matters worse, he did play significant minutes early on, but thankfully Jared Dudley‘s improved health and the acquisition of Markieff Morris put Gooden firmly out of sight and out of mind.

Winner: Drew Gooden

Osman Baig (@Obtoojiveforyou):

I’d say Ryan Hollins, but he had some entertaining moments celebrating on the bench this year which is more than I can say I remember from Drew Gooden this year.

The Washington Wizards foolishly paid Drew Gooden last summer, fortifying their thin frontcourt with a 34-year-old that was out of the NBA two years ago. Even after the Detroit had eliminated the Wizards, Drew Gooden couldn’t get much run. When he did get in the game it didn’t take long for him to get a low percentage shot off (and miss

Thanks for the memories, Drew!

Winner: Drew Gooden

John Cannady (@John_Cannady):

During the playoffs last year, the Washington Wizards surprised everyone and went small and absolutely crushed the favored Toronto Raptors and were up 2-1 on the Atlanta Hawks playing the pace and space type basketball. Going into the off season, many people asked Kris Humphries, who has a pretty serviceable midrange jumpshot, about eventually becoming a stretch four.

He heard the whispers and knew that he had to add that dimension to his game if he wanted playing time. Problem is, Humphries has stuck around the NBA all of these years because of his board work.

He is one of the better offensive rebounders and energy guys in the league, but that aspect of his game is taken away once he begins to launch threes and not be on the offense glass.

Humphries and DeJuan Blair (another forgettable candidate) was eventually shipped to Phoenix for Markieff Morris after the All-Star break. Most people don’t remember that Humphries started off the year as a starter for the Wizards.

Winner: Kris Humphries
