    Almost anyone who started scored more than 10 points per game. Chuck Hayes may be the only option who started if 10 ppg is the criteria. And if you meant 'bench player' just say bench player.

    Robert Horry was undeniably a role player.

    Francisco Garcia, Pat Bev, Brad Miller, Bobby Jackson are also some names (again just if we're talking while they were here)

    I would allow Horry if he averaged barely 10 just once. He did it 3 times, thus he is ineligible (Beverly twice, Elie twice...you get the drill)

    I don't mean bench players, I mean any player that fit the criteria.

    Surprised I had to scroll down so far to see Horry he would be a perfect fit in the modern NBA.

    Should've gone with a minutes per game limit for the criteria rather than points.

    He was the first person I thought of but looked up his stats and saw 10 ppg then just went with Nene and then others without checking their stats but yeah he would be perfect here or anywhere

    So Chuck Hayes? I literally can't think of another starting role player who did that. Okay then. Chuck Hayes. I pick Chuck Hayes out of Chuck Hayes.

    Prime Horry would score a lot more playing today -- 6' 10" unicorn even by 2023 standards.

    Again, it does not have to be a starter.

    Prime Horry would be so nice today, when I re-watched the '94 and '95 playoffs I was kind of surprised that he did not turn in to a better player after he left the Rockets. He was truly a very nice player for the Rockets.
