5.Bernard King
Despite just playing three seasons as a Net (his first two seasons and his final season), Bernard King managed to make a major impact nonetheless. He posted two of his best seasons in his career before being traded to the Utah Jazz for Rich Kelley. Recently inducted into the hall of fame, King was a top-level talent who, if his career lasted longer, may have put up much better career stats. As a rookie, King averaged 24.2 points per game and 9.5 rebounds per game, and he was named to the All-Rookie 1st team.
