No. 11: Chauncey Billups – guard – 1997-98
Oh, what might have been — Billups was one of many casualties of team president Rick Pitino’s forgettable tenure, blossoming into quite a player after he was dealt from Boston during his rookie campaign.
He racked up a ring, five All-Star, 3 All-NBA and 2 All-Defensive team honors, and 2004 Finals MVP for good measure, averaging 15.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game over his career. Just a rook with the Celtics, he had averaged 11.1 points, 2.2 boards and 4.3 assists per game.
