From the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bismack Biyombo is a big man who was adept at rebounding and blocking who had two runs in Charlotte

Biyombo was the seventh overall pick in 2013. and though his skills did not develop the way Charlotte hoped, he found a role in the rotation, finishing in the top ten in Blocks per Game twice.  Signing with the Raptors in 2015, and then the Magic a year later, Biyombo was traded back to Charlotte where he played three years, though he started fewer Games than he did in his first run.  

With the Hornets, Biyombo has averaged 5.7 Rebounds and 1.3 Blocks per Game for Charlotte and what lacked in talent he makes up for in determination.  

Playing his first four seasons of his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chris Mills would average at least 12 Points per Game in the last three of those four years.  Starting at Small Forward in those three seasons, Mills peaked at 15.1 Points per Game in 1995/96 and was considered stable (though not necessarily spectacular) at both ends of the court.  He would overall average 12.6 Points per Game in his 319 Games as a Cav.

Standing at 6’ 11”, Jim Chones gave up his final year at Marquette to join the New York Nets of the ABA.  He would then play a season with the Carolina Cougars before joining the Cleveland Cavaliers of the NBA in 1974, who had his rights after they traded for it from the Los Angeles Lakers.  Chones put up very consistent numbers in his five seasons in Cleveland; he averaged between 12.9 to 15.8 Points per Game in those years, and in terms of boards his low was 8.4 and high was 10.3, all of which were decent.  In his even 400 Games, Chones posted good averages of 14.3 Points, 9.5 Rebounds and 1.1 Blocks per Game.
