Mike James is probably the worst 20ppg scorer ever but...

[Mass Debator]

Who was the worst 25+ ppg scorer for a season?

[ekosky]

Jim Jackson, probably.

Or Antawn Jamison.

[ClipperRevival]

Michael Adams?

Shot .394% when he averaged 26.5 ppg and his next highest average was 18.5. The guy was a 5'10" midget who jacked up almost 9 3pt fgs per game at a .294% that season.

Never heard of him, but he's probably the winner.

Who was the worst 25+ ppg scorer for a season?

Michael Adams (26.5 ppg on .394 FG%)
Kiki Vandeweghe
Dale Ellis
Redd
Archie Clark
Lou Hudson
Marques Johnson
Glen Rice

All good players but not as good as the rest of the lot.

EDIT: Wow, can't believe someone beat me to MA.

[ClipperRevival]

Also, Adams played for one of the most gimmicky offenses ever in that Denver system. They had complete free reign to jack up any type of shot they wanted and that team averaged almost 120 ppg.

What's funny is Woolridge also averaged over 25 ppg that season with Denver. He is also up there for worst 25+ ppg offenders. :oldlol:

That's a good one! He often played on bad teams that allowed him to jack. Anytime you are shooting under 40% from the field, it's not a good look at all. In actuality, he was best served being a combo guard off the bench. One of the most frustrating players to deal with at times is a small combo guard who's a streak scorer. They have scoring ability, but they can easily shoot u out of a game. And often times, they are actually undersized SG's. As opposed to a combo guard who can play both PG and SG at a high level.

Bob Love
Willie Naulls
Purvis Short
Charlie Scott
Kelly Tripucka
Billy Knight
World B. Free
Terry Dischinger

[Mass Debator]

Kevin Martin came close multiple times to 25. How does he compare to Michael Adams?

:biggums: :biggums:

most of those guys were all stars while playing on playoff teams..

Mash was fuccing beast too..

[DMV2]

Juwon Howard? Had 22PPG for one season, journeymen for rest of his career.

Rice and Mashburn were good players, actually starters for majority of their careers. Rice was even an All-Star MVP in '97 or '98.

[DMV2]

Eddie Johnson? Dude played still he was like 50 years old. lol

If we had a Top 10 worse 20PPG scorer, I bet we'd list a lot of 80's and early 90's guys considering how fast the pace was.

Everyone was on Danny Granger's ***** back in 2012 though.:facepalm

[MiseryCityTexas]

Lol Jamal Mashburn and Glenn Robinson were like the best small forwards in the NBA before Lebron was drafted and we all know Lebrons a 100 times better than both of them.:oldlol:

[G-train]

If you can average 25ppg in the NBA, I have nothing bad to say about you.

Iverson averaged 31pts shooting under 40% and averaged 4to and 5.5 assists in the same season. He averaged under 40% a second time while averaging 26 ppg.

[FireDavidKahn]

I'll see your Mike James and raise you Ricky Davis.
