34. Austin Croshere

Austin Croshere played 540 Games and the first nine seasons of his career in the National Basketball Association with the Indiana Pacers.  Playing at Power Forward, the former Providence Friar rarely started but was an excellent role player who fought for every bucket. 

Croshere’s tenacity and leadership skills made him a valuable player in the organization, and while he wasn't lighting up the boxscore, he was willing to do all of the little things to help others do that.  He did have a pair of 10 Points Per Game seasons, the first coinciding with the Pacers trip to the NBA Finals in 2000.

He would average 7.5 Points and 4.3 Rebounds per Game as a Pacer.
