50. Mike Newlin

50. Mike Newlin

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.

He was not the most effective player (hence his ranking might appear a little low), but he made the most of his opportunity as a Net, and he had two seasons he could always talk about.
