Vitor Faverani went undrafted in the 2009 NBA Draft, although following a successful spell in Europe, Faverani signed a three-year deal with the Boston Celtics ahead of the 2013-14 season. The then 25-year-old rookie began the campaign as a starter, although the 6 ft 11 in center offered little on the offensive end, while his rebounding numbers were also disappointing. Unable to make a positive impact, he soon dropped to the bench and was sent to the G-League during the final months of the season.

In all, Faverani made just 37 appearances (8 starts) for the Celtics, averaging 4.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game. Towards the end of the 2013-14 season, Faverani underwent knee surgery and was eventually released by the Celtics without making another appearance.


#1 Gerald Wallace (2013-15)

When Gerald Wallace signed for the Boston Celtics back in 2013, he was just three-seasons removed from being named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team, and the then 31-year-old had developed a reputation as one of the NBA's toughest players. However, he managed just 3 points in 40 minutes on his Boston debut and soon found himself on the bench following a series of poor performances.

Wallace managed to force himself back into the starting lineup at the turn of the year, although the veteran's season ended in February after tearing his meniscus. The 2010 All-Star battled back to return for the 2014-15 season, although he managed just 1.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in a career-low 8.9 minutes per game. He was subsequently traded to the Sixers, although Wallace was waived and forced to retire at the age of 33.
