Keith Askins Miami Heat

Keith Askins was never a remarkable player for the Heat—his career-high in a single season for the Heat was just 6.1 points per game.

The reason why Askins makes this list is due to his longevity with the franchise. He played nine seasons from 1990-1999 with Miami as an undrafted free agent. After retiring from his playing career, he joined the team as an assistant coach and still remains a part of the organization as director of college and pro scouting.

He ranks fourth all-time in games played in franchise history (486).
