Not only that, but they climbed their way to the western conference finals, having defeated the Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings, until losing 2-4 in the conference finals against the Lakers.

More of a filler than a full on starter, Trenton Hassell was there just to make sure the court was filled. Although it was his 3rd career season in the NBA, he held a measly 5.0 points per game. He slightly made up for it, however, with 3.2 total rebounds per game, as well as 1.6 assists per game, and a decent .470 eFG% to boot.
