Don't let the tail end of Davis' career fool you. He was one of the best PG's in the league for a while. Davis averaged over 20 ppg for 10 straight seasons. During this strech he never averaged less then 45% shooting from the field. He was also a very capable passer, averaging over 9 apg in 6 of those seasons. To top it off, he was one of the best rebounding PG's around, averaging over 5 rpg in all 10 seasons. His turnovers were an issue early on but they were workable past his 2nd season. One thing that may hurt Baron is the fact that he jumped from team to team often. He never stayed in one spot for more then 3 seasons at a time. Baron Davis made his lone finals appearance in 2011 playing for the Utah Jazz in what may be considered his best career year (27/10/6 on 49% shooting). While Baron never really had consistent playoff success, it's tough to knock the individual talent that he showed off.

2006 - All-Star Game Participant

Award Rundown: 5 Time All-Star, 1 Time All-BBS Third Team

When you think KG, you think ratings. KG was a man with some sick ratings. Stats weren't bad either. There's not that many players that can say they've put up 5 consecutive seasons of over 17 ppg, 11 rpg and 5 apg along with a steal and block. Not to mention 3 consecutive seasons of over 22 ppg, 11 rpg and 5 apg with a steal and block per game. What's the issue you may ask? Well, KG was always destined for more it seemed but never lived up to it. While he can score, the shooting percentages just were never good. He also turned it over a good amount for a big man. KG was able to win a ring with the Magic in 2007. KG was definitely a good player. He just never played up to his ratings. Yet, he's still here. Says a lot about how good he was and likely should've been.

Pau Gasol
2005 - All-League Third Team
2007 - All-Star Game Participant
2008 - All-Star Game Participant
Award Rundown: 2 Time All-Star. 1 Time All-BBS Third Team
Career Averages: 1,007 Games Played, 19.2 ppg (19,335 Career Points), 10.2 rpg (10,473 Career Rebounds), 3.3 apg (3,324 Career Assists)
Pau was a rock. You knew what you were getting out of him every time he played. Gasol is a career 19/10 player but he had 8 seasons where he averaged over 20/10, his best being 25.3 ppg, 10.9 rpg, 2.4 bpg. Gasol wasn't just a scorer/rebounder. He is a career 1.7 bpg guy, including 4 seasons over 2 bpg. Gasol's biggest issue may have been turnovers. 2.7 career tpg for a big is not something you like to see. Gasol's other issue is that he was never really "the man". He had a tendency to play second fiddle on teams. That obviously never hurt Gasol when it came to winning, as he made 4 finals (3 with the Rockets, one with the Grizzlies) and won 2 titles with the Rockets (09 and 10) and one title with the Grizzlies (2014). Gasol may have never been Batman but he was one of the best Robin's around.

Elton Brand
2005 - All-Star Game Participant
2005 - All-League Third Team
2006 - All-League Second Team
2007 - All-Star Game Participant
2007 - All-League First Team
Award Rundown: 2 Time All-Star, 1 Time All First Team, 1 Time All Second Team, 1 Time All Third Team
Career Averages: 878 Games Played, 17.7 ppg (15,541 Career Points), 9.9 rpg (8,699 Career Rebounds), 1.3 bpg (1,144 Career Blocks)
Solid. For 9 straight seasons, you knew you were going to get a double double guy with would also block a shot or 2. He also had 4 straight seasons of scoring over 19.5 ppg, 10.5 rpg while shooting over 48% from the field. His best season came in 2007, where he averaged 23.8 ppg and 11.9 rpg. This was his only visit to the All BBS First Team. The biggest issue with Brand and the HOF is that he never really was the man. He was to turnover prone to trust as the first option and because of this, he was never really given the shot to lead a team somewhere. At the tail end of his career, he played for 3 teams in 3 years, playing only 11 games total.
