gold star for USAHOF

30. Derrick McKey

30. Derrick McKey

The best seasons of Derrick McKey were when he was with the Seattle SuperSonics, but the Small Forward would spend eight seasons as a Pacer, the first four where he was their starter.

In the first seasons in Indiana, McKey averaged more than 11 Points per Game, but he would shore up his defensive skills on his way to being named a Second Team All-Defensive Selection in both 1994 and 1995.  He would come off of the bench in the second half of Pacers' career and would suit up in 450 Games in total.
