    hmm..I'd put Shareef Abdur-Rahim up there. He used to be a very good offensive player back in the day. A versatile SF who could shoot. He was never a good defender but solid all around player. He was always playing on poor teams though and I don't think he has ever suited up for a playoff game.I'm not gonna take the tie to look up all of the players. I just thought about this topic and decided to do it in 1 minute and Sheef is all I could think about.You guys add to this.Edit: sorry I just remembered Elton Brand. He started off his career in the trenches of the rebuilding Bulls. He went to the CLippers and he has never suited up for a playoff game. This guy is one of the most consistant players in the league. He has great post moves, good rebounder and a decent short/mid range jumper. He is probably better then Rahim.Edit2: BTW this means minimum 4 years played.

    I said minimum 4 years playing. You got anyone else? I'm gonna add J-Rich. Very athletic and he has a nice shot too.

    This is hard to do. Players are moved around so much its hard to find players that didnt make the playoffs.I agree with Manny about Brand being the best. I will try to name some players not already named.Bobby SimmonsCorey MaggetteMike JamesTroy MurphySmush Parker

And he made the postseason 2 years ago with the Pistons I believe, or am I wrong?

    Dude, why do you go into so many threads and just say stuff like "why are you guys even talking about this". It's so annoying, but I know you don't care and will continue to do so.
