Mark Eaton (1983-1993)

Although he was not recognized for his ability to score and rebound, we can tell you that he was an excellent shot-blocker! In terms of NBA players, he was a late bloomer, joining the league at the age of 26. However, he ranks fourth all-time in blocks. He played his whole career with the Utah Jazz, where he led the league in blocks four times. 1984 was his best shot-blocking season, with an average of 5.6 blocks per game. He was twice named Defensive Player of the Year.
