Juwan Howard

Washington Bullets, Washington Wizards (1994-1999)

Juwan “Nook” Howard, known as one of the members of the University of Michigan’s “Fab Five” team, exemplifies the term “journeyman.” Howard played for eight different teams in his career and the end of career is one that he would want to forget.

At 6-foot-9, Howard was way too small to battle against the big men in today’s NBA and way too slow to keep up with any small forward. Howard brought great experience and wise tips to any team that he joined, but lacked the skill on the court.

We got a taste of what happened when he played in today’s NBA, back in the 2012-13 season with the Miami Heat. He averaged three points and 1.1 rebounds per game in just seven games. Although this could be considered today’s NBA, the game has changed in just two short years since then. Howard’s lack of success wouldn’t change if he were to come back and play today.
