From 1 to 35,535: The Bottom/Top Ten

Stay connected for news and updates

Let's recap where we stand on our journey from the Wolf who saw the shortest amount of court time to KG and his franchise-best 35,535 minutes (which is roughly the equivalent of 1,000 games played). In the nine men we have reviewed, there were a few NBA journeymen but most were guys who, as basketbally gifted as they were, just couldn't cut it at the top level.

The countdown (or countup?) to date:

1 - Calvin Booth, 1 minute played

2 - Jason Hart, 5

2 - Trevor Winter, 5

4 - Paul Grant, 8

5 - Nikoloz Tskitishvili, 13

6 - Jim Thomas, 14

7 - Steve Johnson, 17

8 - Dan Godfread, 20

9 - Myron Brown, 23

Which leads us to:

10 - Brian Evans, 24
