Worst touch in the paint

Who do yall think has the worst touch around the basket? by this i mean get his shot blocked, misses cheapie layups, struggles to finish in traffic under the basket...

As far as highest paid, I'd have to say carlos boozer.... the way he performed these playoffs was horrendous, he would miss easy lil chip shot layups, he had to of been blocked the most of any player in the playoffs..... Even his teammate noah has bad touch inside... then theres guys like joel anthony, samuel dalembert

thoughts?

DESAGANA DIOP. I went to a game a few years back, and you would literally think this guy was missing shots on purpose around the rim. He's a HUGE man, but he really is terrible around the rim.

And that video Magikknick just showed of Jared Jeffries, along with his miss against the Celtics, makes me change my answer.

I'd definitely go with Jared Jeffries as my first choice, but Jason Collins is terrible as well. It was so miserable to watch him play with the Nets a few years ago

DeAndre Jordan is pretty bad,

DeAndre Jordan is pretty bad, thank god for the Clippers he dunks it most of the time he gets it around the rim. If he tries to lay it in, it's a crap shoot.

Dwight Howard actually

Dwight Howard actually doesn't exactly have the softest touch in the world but he dunks more than anyone in the whole league, so it doesn't matter nearly as much when compared to someone like Jeffries who just looks bad no matter where he shoots the ball from- including dunking and layups. He was actually supposed to be a "versatile" offensive player coming out of college... How can a 6'11 player have a career 43% field goal percentage??? People talk about Rashard Lewis and others being overpaid but what ever convinced someone thatg Jared Jeffries was worth 5 yrs and $30 million and that he was a good defensive player, too.

Reggie Evans

Reggie Evans by far! He was a sophomore in high school when I graduated. He was clumsy and couldn't score then. He's no longer clumsy but he still can't score.
