50. Mike Newlin

50. Mike Newlin

Mike Newlin played for the Houston Rockets for eight seasons and he was traded to the New Jersey Nets where he gained more playing time.  Newlin played for New Jersey for two seasons where he had the highest Points per Game of his career with seasons of 20.9 and 21.4 respectively, but his rank is affected as his other numbers were down and he was more one-dimensional.

He was not the most efferent player (hence why his ranking might appear a little low) but he made the most of his opportunity as a Net and he had two seasons that he would always be able to talk about.
