Mullin was the same player who would average over 20 Points per Game, but he was a smart player who picked his shots carefully. He would lead the NBA in Free Throw Percentage in his first year in Indiana (1997-98) and in True Shooting Percentage the year after. In both of those seasons, he averaged over 10 Points per Game. He was injured for much of his final year in Indiana and was no longer able to provide what he could before, but his overall numbers as a Pacer were decent. Mullin would post a 17.0 PER and a 9.4 PPG in Indiana.
He would later be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.
46. Chris Mullin
Chris Mullin went to five All-Star Games when he was with the Golden State Warriors, and he was a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Dream Team. Those facts may have occurred years before he arrived in Indiana, but he did not become a Pacer with his gas tank on "E."
