Brian Scalabrine peaked in his 4th season at 6.3ppg and was never the same after that. People have debated for years why his meteoric rise stopped so abruptly. We all have our theories.

@realniggashit3 2 жыл бұрын

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.

@@ohgee5103 Not my point. Not comparing talent, comparing how Okafor averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds his rookie year and Embiid missed his first two whole seasons. Early career injuries can ruin it for young players

MCW was a beast in college tho, unfortunately it didn’t translate well to the NBA past his first season.

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.

@Marjoss1 3 жыл бұрын

Ya this list is kinda whack, most of these guys suffered big season ending injuries that really hurt their careers. A simple Wikipedia search definitely would have helped this video.

MCW was the case of no matter how bad a team is, someone has to score, rebound, and assist. His splits and PER were garbage his rookie year. It still managed to fool teams for several years.
