Mike O’Koren studied basketball collegiately under Dean Smith at the University of North Carolina, and the New Jersey Nets would draft him 6^th overall in the 1980 Draft.  The Small Forward would average over 11 Points per Game in his first two seasons and would settle in as a reserve player over the next four years until he was traded to Washington.  He would play 392 Games for the Nets, averaging 8.5 Points per Game.

Mike Newlin played for the Houston Rockets for 8 seasons before being traded to the New Jersey Nets, where he gained more playing time.  Newlin played for New Jersey for two seasons, during which he posted his highest career Points per Game at 20.9 and 21.4, respectively. Still, his rank is affected because his other numbers were down, and he was more one-dimensional.
