By Josh Haslam
10. Mark Eaton
Taken 72nd overall in the 1982 draft Mark Eaton was a very underrated player. At the height of 7’4″ Eaton was a blocking machine! In his first season he had 275 blocks (a franchise record). In his second season he averaged 4.28 blocks and led the NBA also helping the Jazz make their first ever playoffs. In his third season he won defensive player of the year by averaging 5.6 blocks and 11 boards a game. He won defensive player of the year a second time and also made his first and only all-star game in 1989.
