Nominees:
1. DJ Mbenga (2004-05 to 2010-11)
P/36 | R/36 | A/36 | TS% | Ortg | Drtg | PER | Ws/48 |
9.5 | 8.1 | 0.9 | .490 | 97 | 102 | 10.8 | .075 |
* He is probably best known for getting in a fight with teammate Chris Mihm during practice, or for being a black-belt.
Mbenga didn't do much during his NBA career, yet he won 2 NBA titles and made more than 10 million dollars.
2. Andrew Lang (1988-89 to 1999-00)
P/36 | R/36 | A/36 | TS% | Ortg | Drtg | PER | Ws/48 |
10.4 | 8.2 | 1.0 | .516 | 105 | 105 | 11.7 | .089 |
* Lang was a role player for most of his career, like everyone on this list. He was a better offensive player than Mbenga.
Lang had a better career, and even had a good Playoff series against the Jazz in 1991. His Suns lost in 4 but he was good from the bench. 139 Ortg, .703 TS% on just 14 minutes per game. He was also good that year during the regular season.
3. Ian Mahinmi (2007-08 to 2014-15)
P/36 | R/36 | A/36 | TS% | Ortg | Drtg | PER | Ws/48 |
10.3 | 9.0 | 0.7 | .551 | 105 | 99 | 11.8 | .120 |
* Statistically, the best player on the list. Won a title with Dallas, and played good for both the Mavs and Spurs.
He's still a solid role big in Indiana, but this list is so boring I'm just going to end it here.
