#5 Kyle Singler

Oklahoma City Thunder v Phoenix Suns
Oklahoma City Thunder v Phoenix Suns

Singler was a four-year starter for the Duke men's basketball team and was instrumental in their 2010 NCAA championship run, earning Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. His pace of play, however, was clearly not going to translate to the NBA, and therefore despite all of his accolades in college, he was only taken with the 33rd pick in the 2011 NBA draft by the Pistons and promptly stashed in the Spanish ACB.

Singler even started 150 games over the course of his Pistons career lasting 3 seasons from 2012-2015, before the Oklahoma City Thunder found it fit to somehow sign him on to a 4-year deal despite the swingman's highest scoring average being 9.6 ppg and him being a foot slower on defense than the rest of the league.

After falling completely out of even their garbage-time lineups, Singler was waived earlier this season by the franchise, but not before he replaced Brian Scalabrine on all the White Mamba memes.
