P.J. Brown Miami Heat

Yet another gritty piece of the Riley-era Heat, P.J. Brown was a defensive force in the paint during his four seasons with the Heat from 1997 through 2000. He was named to the All-Defensive Second Team twice (1997, 1999). Over the course of his four seasons of work, the power forward appeared in 284 games, averaging 31.2 minutes, 9.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game.

Brown saw his Heat career end when he was traded during the 2000 offseason to the Charlotte Hornets which brought Eddie Jones and Anthony Mason to Miami.
