One of Turkey's premier basketball exports in the recent past, 31-year-old Ersan Ilyasova is back to where his NBA journey started, signing a long-term deal with the Bucks who drafted him 36th overall in 2005. One of the least surprising players to pop up on this list given that he's made a career as a tough rebounder and knockdown perimeter shooters despite his 6'10" height, Ilyasova's basketball IQ is up there with the best of them.

Through 13 games this season operating as both a 4 as well as a 5 in small-ball lineups, Ilyasova is averaging a 38.9% conversion rate on 2.8 attempts per game - figures right in line with his career averages. He's not the last Bucks centre to appear on this list, either.
