Rajon Rondo

Career average: 9.8

Rajon Rondo at his peak was hailed as one of the most versatile defenders. In fact, he was a key member of the 2008 Boston Celtics championship and the 2020 Los Angeles Lakers championship. Although Rondo is an excellent organizational core and has won numerous triple-doubles, it is surprising that his average career score is less than double digits.

DAndrew Jordan

Career average: 8.5

DAndrew Jordan became famous in the NBA with his precise blow to the basket. At his peak, he was one of the league's greatest terminators, even maintaining a career-high shooting percentage with a shooting percentage of 67.4%. However, the former NBA All-Star player has never scored twice in his career.

Draymond Green

Career average: 8.7 points

Draymond Green is the core figure of the Golden State Warriors Dynasty. His versatile style of play cooperates with former Splash brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. While the former NBA defensive player of the year hasn't scored high, the triple-double he scored does make it feel like he deserves at least 10 points per game in his career. However, the All-Star Power Forward tends to value victory more than personal data.

Denis Rodman

Career average score: 7.3 points

Denis Rodman was once a defensive player and won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year twice in his career. Although Rodman is not known for scoring, his Hall of Fame status and influence on the court give the impression that he is a player who can get a double-double at any time. However, the Hall of Fame player often sacrifices his score to choose invisible, beyond statistics-leading winning goals.

Ben Wallace

Career average: 5.7 points

Another player who makes a similar impression to Rodman is Ben Wallace. He was also short, but eventually made up for this flaw with his outstanding frame protection and fighting skills. Although the four-time NBA best defensive player was inducted into the Hall of Fame, he never averaged double-digit points per game in any season. It is quite rare for Hall of Famers to score less than double digits.

Dickenbe Mutombo

Career average: 9.8 points

Dickenbe Mutombo was an elite center in the NBA. His signature shot blocking move shocked the league. However, his average score per game in his career was not as impressive as 10 points. The 7-foot-2-inch center (about 2.1 meters) tall has been almost a "walking double-double" in the first 11 years of the league.

Jokin Noah

Career average: 8.8 points

Jokin Noah is another defensive center who served as the starting center for the Chicago Bulls during the Derek Ross era. He easily became the team's second choice after the youngest MVP in NBA history. However, although Noah is a "double-double machine" of Windy City, he failed to maintain his scoring position in the league.

Kyle Korver

Career Score Average: 9.7 points

Three-pointers are the way to score quickly. Kyle Korver is one of the best three-point shooters in league history. In fact, he currently holds the record for the highest three-point shooting percentage in a single season, up to 53.6%. But surprisingly, despite being a very threatening shooter, Korver’s three-point shooting percentage isn’t enough to get his career average of double-digit points per game.

Danny Green

Career average: 8.7

Danny Green has scored many key goals in his career. In fact, he even made historic performances in the playoffs at one point. But it is surprising that although Green is a top offense and defense player, he averaged less than 10 points per game. However, given that he had won three NBA championship rings before he retired last October, his average score does not fully reflect his influence.

A.C. Green

Career average: 9.6

A.C. Green was the resident starting forward of the Los Angeles Lakers "Showtime". He was selected for reliability and durability in several seasons with the Lakers, averaging at least 10 points per game. In fact, in the 1989-90 season, Green received enough votes and was selected into the NBA All-Star starting lineup. But even at this level, the former Lakers star often prioritizes defensive performance.
