Antonio McDyess (1995-2011)

McDyess was selected second overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 1995 draft, but he was traded to the Denver Nuggets before the season began, along with fellow forward Rodney Rogers and a mid-first-round pick that was later used to select Brent Barry. McDyess averaged 17.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game in his first six seasons, courtesy to his explosive leaping and power dunking abilities.
