22. Tayshaun Prince, 2002 NBA Draft, No. 23 overall, Detroit Pistons

Prince’s rookie season was by no means impressive for a top-25 pick, but in his second year, he would be a huge piece to help the Pistons claim the championship in 2004.

His long arms made him an elite defender in the NBA as he has been named NBA All-Defensive Second Team four times throughout his career. The 37-year-old had short stints with the Grizzlies and Celtics, but is now back bringing veteran leadership to a young Pistons squad.

For his career, Prince is averaging 11.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
