The 10 Worst NBA Players of all time

#3 Michael Ruffin

Chicago Bulls v Washington Wizards - East QF Game 6
Chicago Bulls v Washington Wizards - East QF Game 6

The undersized power forward/center did not have the skillset to play as a swingman in the league, and did not have the size to play heavy minutes in the roles he was best at. Therefore, Michael Ruffin has gone on to become a poster boy of sorts for the unsuccessful journeyman who hung around playoff first round fodder teams for 10 seasons.

Drafted by the Bulls with the 32nd overall pick in the 1999 NBA draft, Ruffin's career highs in points per game and rebounds per game are 2.6 ppg and 5.8 rpg, which he achieved in his second season. Ruffin has the dubious distinction of being one of the few players to have tallied more fouls than points in the NBA, getting called for 946 fouls and putting up only 716 points through 10 years in the league.
