Not that anyone really needs them, but here are a bunch of names, in no particular order:
Jan Vesely
Johnny Davis
Oleksiy Pecherov
Jim McIlvane
Chris Singleton
Calvin Booth
Michael Ruffin
Greg Foster
Lorenzo Williams
Laron Profit
Isaac Bonga
Anžejs Pasečņiks
Ian Mahinmi
—————————————
Note: I will be downvoting any votes for Kwame Brown. Yes, he was arguably our franchise’s biggest disappointment, but he played more than a decade in the league and had the unfortunate circumstance of being abused by an impatient MJ as a teenager trying to find his way.
Maybe save him for most wasted potential.
Edit (since it apparently had to be clarified): Vote for or against whoever you want. I’m not nullifying my vote just because I made the thread, nor am I overriding anyone else’s. If Kwame gets the votes, that’s it.

sticking with the 2 season minimum rule takes out a couple of strong contenders, most notably Crittenton. Relative to the league’s talent level at the time of their play here, I think Ian Mahinmi has a case.

Johnny Davis has a case

It’s Jan Vesely no question

Pasecniks was straight ass. Big for nothing

In my time following the team, Vesely set the bar for worst. No skill besides running and jumping high, no skill or bulk to be a PF/C, no shooting or handles to be a wing.
We literally had to force him to take jump shots. Idk how he slipped through the cracks, and became a legit lottery pick just based off his leaping ability.

Eric Maynor was awful here.
Edited: I didn’t see to 2-season minimum. I change my vote to Vesely

Pecherov..the pick was out of left field. The tape looked terrible. He also looked like a 7ft tall baby man.

Yi Jinlian was perhaps the worst nba player ever

I think when r/nba did their version of this grid, this box was “worst starter,” rather than worst player.
The worst player in Wizards/Bullets history is going to be someone we barely ever got to see play, because whoever he was, he was so bad that the coaches didn’t give him playing time. That’s true even if someone hung around the end of the bench for 2 seasons or more. So there is no real way to know whom to vote for. Make it “worst starter” and then it’s someone we can have actual information about!

Jan Vesely, aka the Air Wolf, looked so lost in NBA games. He has my vote.
Jahidi White is my runner-up. No jump shot, slow, but he still got so many chances and quality minutes. Maybe I’m being hard on him – he was a late 2nd round pick out of Georgetown, but his stats were abysmal as a starting center.
Kwame Brown is more of a wasted potential vote. He had a long career at least.

I vote Vesley because how bad he was on the court and who was still on the board when he was drafted.
Anžejs Pasečņiks had the worst six-minutes of NBA basketball I’ve ever seen. It was so bad he got waived immediately thereafter. I cannot believe the Bucks signed him to a two-way deal last month.
It will forever stick in my mind. Other standouts included Party John Ramos, Vesely, and Oleksiy Pecherov.

Jan Vesely (I see him in my nightmares)
