E
Detlef Schrempf (L) remains one of the most underrated players of all time

Honors: 3x All-Star, 2x 6th Man of the Year, 1x All-Nba 3rd Team

Career Averages: 13.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists

Detlef Schrempf remains one of the most underrated players of all time. A versatile role player, he could rebound and pass well. He was a great shooter, shooting 51.4% from the 3 point line in 1994-95.

In 1992-93, Schrempf was the only player in the league in the top 25 in Points (19.1), Rebounds (9.5) and Assists (6) further displaying his versatility. He was rewarded with what would be the 1st of his 3 All-Star appearances.

Schrempf reached the NBA Finals once with the Supersonics in 1996 but lost in 6 games to Michael Jordan's Bulls. One factor holding Schrempf back, however, is his lack of defence.
