#3 Kevin McHale - 1980 NBA Draft
A member of the Hall of Fame and one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history, Kevin McHale was the third pick of the 1980 NBA Draft.
The Boston Celtics selected McHale in the NBA Draft and secured 13 years of greatness from an amazing post scorer.
McHale made the All-Star team seven times, won two 'Sixth Man of the Year' awards and made it to one All-NBA team in his career.
McHale won three NBA championships with the Boston Celtics (1981, 1984, and 1986). He averaged 18 points and seven rebounds in his NBA career (971 games).
He was a tremendous scorer, but he was a 'team-first' athlete who played in any role the team required. Collective success was more important to McHale than individual awards.
