8. Chris Bosh, Toronto Raptors (2003-04)

In case you were wondering, that big-man stretch isn't stopping yet. Like the two before him, Chris Bosh, at a very lanky 6'11", entered the league at center and looked to do most of his work down low.

In his very first NBA season, Bosh ranked fourth on the Toronto Raptors in both points (11.5) and rebounds (7.4) per game behind the likes of Vince Carter and Jalen Rose. That year, the Raptors went just 33-49, but the future was bright.

Bosh wrapped up the season with .119 win shares per 48 minutes, ranking second on Toronto behind only Donyell Marshall among those with at least 10 games played. Bosh progressed the next season with even higher averages, and he became the face of the franchise for some years to come.
