7. Tyson Chandler - 19.3

Tyson Chandler's two years with the Dallas Mavericks were unforgettable as they won the NBA Finals in 2011 with him as the starting center, and he is considered a Mavs legend even though he only played two seasons for the team.

In Chandler's two years with Dallas, he averaged 10.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 0.5 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 66 percent from the field. During the 2011 NBA Finals run, Chandler played a huge part in them winning, and his defense, rebounding, and outstanding energy will never be forgotten.

Chandler averaged 8.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks per game in the 2011 NBA Playoffs, and he was one of the most valuable players on the team no matter what the stats say. He is one of the best rim protectors that the Mavs have ever had, and his ferocious dunks got fans at the American Airlines Center out of their seats every time.

Chandler means so much to Dallas since he helped them win their first-ever NBA Championship, but he also means so much to the team right now. He still works for the Mavs as a coach, and he has worked a ton this year with rookie center Dereck Lively II.

Lively II was compared to Chandler before he was drafted, and Chandler's mentorship with Lively II has been awesome to see from the outside looking in.
