10. Richard Jefferson

If Richard Jefferson’s stay had extended longer than one season there’s a very good chance that he would have ranked much higher on this list, but as it is, as short as Jefferson’s stay was in Milwaukee, his numbers were impressive.

In the time since Jefferson left Milwaukee, he has gone on to be a key component of contending Spurs teams and most recently a surprising role player on Cleveland’s championship winning group, but this Bucks season was the only one of his post Nets years when the former Arizona Wildcat looked anywhere close to his best.

Far from an elite year for the Bucks thanks to injury, 2008-09 saw Richard Jefferson carry the Bucks in the absence of Michael Redd and Andrew Bogut for significant stretches of the season.

Jefferson averaged 19.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists, on 43.9 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from deep, and played in all 82 games. In the following summer he was traded to San Antonio.
