A two time All Star, Bob Knepper would have four seasons with Houston where he had 14 or more Wins.  Knepper would have a losing record as an Astro (93-100), but still with only 7 shy of the 100 mark in Wins and 54 shy of 1,000 Strikeouts, these are two solid milestones he almost made. 

Spending the majority of his career with the Dallas Stars, Brenden Morrow was an above-average defensive forward.  Morrow was known for his leadership and overall skill when needed in the clutch as shown by the Stars long employment of the Left Wing.  Morrow was not an elite scorer (although his 575 career Points were certainly decent), but his overall skill set earned him spots on the Canadian Olympic Team and World Cup Team in 2004 and 2010, respectively.  In both of those tournaments, Morrow helped Canada win a Gold Medal.

From the University of Utah, Danny Vranes was a defensive minded Small Forward who would earn Second Team All Defensive honors in the 1984-85 season.  10.1 of his 13.9 Win Shares as a Sonic would come from the defensive side of the ball.  Vranes was not much of a scorer, but was able to often prevent his counterpart from putting up garish offensive stats.

Born in Bosnia, though of Serbian descent (which is who he played for Internationally after Yugoslavia), Vladimir Radmanovic was the 12th Overall Draft Pick in 2001.  The Power Forward would do his best work in five and half years he was with the SuperSonics, three times averaging over 10 Points per Game for a season.  Radmanovic was atypical of the period as he was an excellent three point shooter, not typical of a Power Forward at the time.
