Mark Eaton (1983-1993)

Not necessarily known for scoring and rebounding, what we can tell you is that he was a fantastic shot-blocker! He was a late bloomer in terms of NBA players, only entering the league at 26. He ranks 4th in all-time blocks, however. He spent his whole career with the Utah Jazz, leading the league in blocks on four occasions. 1984 was his prime shot-blocking season, averaging 5.6 blocks a game. He won Defensive Player of the Year twice.
