*Positional Notes: DeRozan has played more at Forward in the last few years, but his peak was a Shooting Guard, so we are listing him at SG, though this could change next year.

*Peak Period: 2015-16 to 2021-22.

When DeMar DeRozan was traded from Toronto to San Antonio for Kawhi Leonard, many Raptors fans were upset, but Kawhi brought Jurassic Park a Title, and DeRozan’s past accomplishments in Toronto seemed so much smaller.  Fast-forward to his three seasons in Chicago, DeRozan re-established himself as a prime scoring threat and added two more All-Stars (he has six overall), which is the best scoring three-year period of his career.

DeRozan is now with Sacramento, a team on the rise. If the Kings make the Finals with DeRozan playing a large part in that success, would it be enough to put him over?

Zak DeOssie was a three-time All-Ivy League player at Brown, where the New York Giants drafted the Linebacker in 2007.

The pro career of Vernon Davis began when he was drafted 6^thOverall in 2006 by the San Francisco 49ers. In the Bay Area, Davis would spend the first ten seasons of his career and have his greatest individual success. In 2009 and 2013, Davis was named to the Pro Bowl, and he would lead the NFL in Receiving Touchdowns with 13.  He had the same amount in 2013, but that was not enough to lead the league, though he was a Second Team All-Pro that year.

A late First Round pick from Wisconsin, Travis Frederick was an immediate starter for the Dallas Cowboys when he arrived in 2013.

Frederick wasted no time establishing himself as one of the top Centers in football, and he would become the literal centerpiece of what would become the best Offensive Line in the late 2010s. Frederick was named to five Pro Bowls, with three of those years earning All-Pro Selections (one First Team and two Second Team).  He missed the 2018 season due to Guillain-Barré syndrome, and when he returned in 2019, he had his fifth and final Pro Bowl.

He retired abruptly after that year, before age 30, but there was no doubt he was one of the better Centers of his day.
