Ok…let us begin with the obvious.

Dwight Howard was a first ballot Hall of Famer, and he should be. 

Jeremy Lamb played four years of his career for the Charlotte Hornets at the Shooting Guard position, the first two years of which were on the bench.  Lamb’s career originally began with the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he bounced back and forth multiple times with their D-League affiliate, but he eventually found his role, and after being traded to Charlotte, he began to excel at it.

16. John Klingberg

From Sweden, John Klingberg was an Alternate Captain of the Dallas Stars who averaged at least two-thirds of a point per Game as a Star.  Klingberg won the World Hockey Championship with Sweden in 2017 and has scored 40 Points or more in his first five seasons in the NHL, his best being a 67 Point campaign in 2017-18, where he was ninth in Assists.

49. Tom McCarthy

Drafted 10th overall in the 1979 Draft, Tom McCarthy would quickly reach the pros, and he would be named an All-Star in the 1983 season when he posted a career high 79 Points.  While he was not an All-Star the following year, he would, however, light the lamp 39 times, also a career high.  A bout of Bell's Palsy would cost McCarthy the bulk of the 85-86 season, and he wasn’t really the same player after that.  Still, Tom McCarthy would record 333 Points for the Minnesota North Stars for a .86 Points per Game Average.
