45. Thaddeus Young

Thaddeus Young was a Second Team All-Rookie with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2007, and a decade later, he would join the Indiana Pacers for three seasons from 2016-17 to 2018-19.

The Power Forward may have been older, but he was still providing the same production that he had with teams he played for in the past.  Young averaged 11.8 Points per Game in his three campaigns with the Pacers and was also strong defensively with 1.6 Steals per Game.  In all three of his years with Indiana, he would finish in the top in Steals per Game, Steal Percentage, and would start all 236 Games of his Pacers run.
