10. Corey Brewer (SF) — No. 7 pick in 2007 NBA Draft

Career stats (with the Timberwolves):  337 GP, 9.9 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 1.8 APG, 32.7 FG%, 80.4 FT% 70.5

Corey Brewer has played for five different teams during his 10-year NBA career. Six of those seasons were as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. They were not consecutive years, but Brewer always seems to find his way back to the team that drafted him in 2007 with the seventh overall pick.

Brewer was a solid defender who has always struggled to put his offensive game together. His shot is very inconsistent, which makes it hard for him to be viewed as a complete player. His best year was during the 2009-10 season, when he averaged 13 points and 2.4 assists per game — both career-highs. He also shot the second-best 3-point percentage of his NBA career, making 35 percent of his shots from downtown.

Brewer makes the list at the 10th spot as a lockdown defender who could somewhat score based on his athleticism. One of Brewer’s greatest accomplishments was a 51-point game against the Houston Rockets in 2014.
