Who: Joel Anthony
2015-2016 stats: .9 points, .6 blocks, 1.1 rebounds, 19 games played (zero started), 5.1 minutes per game.
Joel Anthony is the ultimate team player. He knows his role and he does it well. While he doesn’t get many minutes, and he doesn’t play very frequently, when he’s on the court he plays hard, rebounds efficiently, and blocks shots–just ask Cleveland when he blocked nearly 10 shots in the 2015-2016 season finale.
At the midpoint of the season, Anthony was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers as part of a three team deal that brought Tobias Harris to Detroit.
