The Official 2018 Worst Team All-NBA

Forget First Team All-NBA — who were the NBA’s five worst starters for the 2017–18 season?

The NBA regular season concludes Wednesday, and everyone and their mother is tallying up MVP votes and picking First Team All-NBA rosters. But what about the guys at the other end of the spectrum? We have First, Second, and Third Team All-NBA, but what about 4th Team or 12th or 23rd? What about 30th Team All-NBA, the worst players in the entire league?

Anyone can spin their way out of an NBA rotation by being spectacularly terrible (fine, not anyone; 534 men played in the NBA this season, and they’re all miles better at basketball than anyone who will read this), but it takes a special kind of awful to soak up minutes all season while stinking up the joint.

Two simple rules limit our options. First, no rookies allowed. They’re not supposed to be good yet, and it’s no fun ragging on 19-year-olds. Second, we’re instating a 1500-minute minimum. That’s 60 games of 25 minutes, so it means guys who are playing starter or heavy bench minutes. Everyone else is fair game.

So forget James Harden and LeBron James for just a few minutes. Who are the worst regulars in the entire NBA, the guys that kept logging minutes all year, actively hurting their teams? Let’s name our Worst Team All-NBA.
