29. Dean Garrett
Dean Garrett won the NCAA championship with the Indiana Hoosiers and the year later was drafted late in the Second Round. Garrett never played in the NBA for eight years as he instead played in Europe but it was with the Timberwolves where he would finally play professionally in North America. The big man would have two runs with Minnesota, often in a starting role. While Garrett was not a star, he did actually lead the NBA in lowest Turnover Percentage in his first season, a fact combined with decent blocking numbers that earned him a spot on this list.
