36. Travis Best

Travis Best was chosen by the Pacers in the 1st Round (23rd Overall) from Georgia Tech, and he was a dependable backup Point Guard for the team for the first six and half years of his NBA career.  He would help the Pacers reach the 2000 NBA Finals and the season after he had his best season.  That year he would average 31.9 Minutes with career-highs of 11.9 Points and 6.1 Assists per Game.

Best would be part of the major trade that brought Ron Artest and Brad Miller to Indiana when he was traded to Chicago in 2002.
