33. Willie Naulls

Willie Naulls had decent career numbers finishing a very respectable fifteen point and nine rebound average. He was a four time All-Star and three time NBA champion and he was one of the best ever to come from college basketball giant UCLA. Amazingly his chances of getting into the Hall of Fame are practically zero as he is basically a forgotten player on those dynasties. That won’t change anytime soon.
