Chris Bosh (1984)
Bosh was one of the best big men in the NBA for a decade, playing 13 seasons between the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat. It all started when Bosh was the fourth overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft out of Georgia Tech by the Raptors. Bosh immediately became one of their best players, finishing fifth in a loaded class for Rookie of the Year voting.
He really broke out in 2006, making his first of 11 straight All-Star appearances to close his career. Joining the Miami Heat in 2010 was a pivotal point in his career as he teamed up with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, forming one of the greatest trios in NBA history. Bosh was a key piece to that Miami team that won titles in 2012 and 2013. His career was shortened due to a blood clot issue, with Bosh playing his final game in 2016. Bosh earned a Hall of Fame induction in 2021.
Myles Turner (1996)
Turner was the 11th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft out of Texas and spent his first nine years with the Indiana Pacers. He finished eighth in Rookie of the Year voting and then developed into one of the best shot blockers in the league.
Turner led the league in blocks in 2019 and 2021, receiving Defensive Player of the Year votes in both of those seasons. He has become one of the most versatile centers in the league, mixing elite rim protection with one of the best three-point shots around. Turner played a pivotal role in the Pacers making it to the 2025 NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder and has since moved onto the Milwaukee Bucks.
