Sam Perkins is an interesting one. Highly touted out of college, long career, played on lots of good teams.

He was on all-rookie team but that's it.

I am still gonna go with Big Shot Bob Horry with just a 2nd team all-rookie.

Drazen Petrovic made the 3rd team all league team the season before he died, but no other accolades.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that earning the nickname "Big Shot Bob" and winning a ton of titles as a key role player counts as "doing something."

Cornelius Lance Hawkins.

Would've loved for him to have been a Celtic.

He deserved better.

GREAT talent.

What about AC Green.

You mean 1989 All-Star Starter AC Green?  ;)

He got an All-Defensive team too.


This is a great topic, and so many good options covered...I'm stuck pointing out that Oscar Schmidt accomplished literally nothing in the NBA.
