Jerry Stackhouse -21
Jerry Stackhouse is a recognizable NBA name, even if you do not associate him with the Philadelphia 76ers. He played an incredible 21 seasons in the NBA, and spent three of those years with the Sixers.
Stackhouse was selected in the first round of the 1995 NBA draft with the third pick by the Philadelphia 76ers. He suffered an unfair comparison to Michael Jordan, who also played at North Carolina, went #3 in the draft, and stood 6’6″ tall with similar builds, and had similarly styles. Coincidentally, both had a taller power forward from UNC drafted immediately after them in the #4 spot, Sam Perkins in 1984, and Rasheed Wallace in 1995.
In his first season with the 76ers, Stackhouse led his team with a 19.2 points per game (PPG) average, and was named to the NBA’s All-Rookie team. In the 1996–97 season, the 76ers also drafted Allen Iverson. Combined, the two posted 44.2 points per game for the Sixers.
He would not finish his third season with the 76ers, as he was traded with Eric Montroess for Theo Ratliff, Aaron McKie, and considerations.
Throughout his career, he scored 16,409 points. In his three seasons as a Sixer, he put 3,416 points on the scoreboard.
