    It's gotta be Antoine Walker. If he sits in the post, he's a bonafide all star. Great passer, good vision, decent post moves, etc. Dude's a mismatch for most teams on the blocks. Instead, he like to shoot three after three, bad shot after bad shot. After almost a decade in the league, he still hasn't learned that (except for a game or two every once in a while).With guys like Kwame, they still have time. Walker doesn't.

If Walker had any kind of work habits I think he would be one of the best players in the game. He has always been a bonafide scorer but everything else has been suspect. He is a good scorer with a bad FG%. I dont think he ever shot over 45% in any season actually. His career is slowly being overshadowed by his current play. He used to be huge for Boston back when they made the Eastern Conference finals.

    Darko Milicic: He is a 7 footer + change, he can post up, he can shoot from outside, he can pass, he can rebound, and he plays some solid D - all he needs now is motivation, and some muscle on his body. I'm hoping once Darko gets into the starting roll next year with the Magic, he might be motivated to play as hard as possible. About Ron Artest, he is already playing excellent ball, it's just he's been out of the leauge for so long that his talents go unoticed.

    Eddy Curry and Kwame Brown. Will these idiots ever start picking up the ball? Kwame needs to just get through his rape charges right now, then he needs to focus on improving his game mentality this offseason. I also think Leandro Barbosa, because he won't be much but a backup PG in the league with the Suns. Devin Harris. Nate Robinson.Eddy Curry and Kwame Brown.

Have you seen Barbosa and Harris in these playoffs? Harris is owning the Spurs and Barbosa has had some good outing against the Clippers and Lakers this postseason. and Nate, he's barely a rookie. For that matter, Harris is only in his sophmore season and Barbosa in his 3rd season. I'll agree with the Curry and Kwame comments, but not the Harris, Barbosa, and Robinson ones.

    Harris is having a good time these playoffs, and he's only a second year player...Barbosa is over exceeding expectations, not a waste of talent if you ask me.

Their both young, and they are both doing good in the playoffs..

    Tyson Chandler never played that great and I don't expect him to change that anytime in the near futue.And Darko is not one. He has not had that much experience in the NBA yet. (As for playing on the court)
