Who am I?

A series of statements will be presented about a mystery player.  Try to answer in as few clues as possible.

0-1 Guesses: You are an NBA Savant
2-4 Guesses: Experts consider you an expert
5-7 Guesses: You know more about the NBA than the other 99%


Here are your first four clues

1. I played 10 NBA Seasons, all for the same franchise that drafted me.  Just not the first franchise that drafted me. (Yes i was drafted twice)
2. I was something of an NBA iron man. I never missed more than 3 games in a season. Typically playing 81 or 82 games until my final season (still managed 64 games that year)
3. I won the Defensive Player of the Year award twice, and I made the All-Star team once. Pretty good for a 4th round pick.
4. Heck I was drafted in the 5th round a few years earlier

5. I was a little used reserve at UCLA under Larry Brown where - like the NBA later - i averaged more rebounds than points

Mark Eaton

Correct!

Eaton was drafted by the Phoenix Suns in the 1979 NBA draft with the 107th pick in the 5th round. He was eligible to be drafted because he was already four years out of high school in 1979. However, he opted to return to college basketball.

Correct! 

Larry Farmer was the head coach of UCLA from 1981 to 1984, guiding them to a 61–23 (.726) record. He had recruited Earvin "Magic" Johnson to come play at UCLA, but then told Johnson to hold off on a visit as he was more interested in Albert King.[20] Neither played for UCLA.

Hint #3 gave me a few names to toy with.
#6 gave me the answer.

Not too many folks average 3.5 blocks per.
Actually no one but Eaton.

Okay, I got one.

The 6th Man of the Year was instituted for the '82-'83 season.

Since then only 3 players have won 6th Man with an average of 20+ Pts/game. 
And only 3 players have won 6th Man honors with an average below 10 Pts/game.
Both are impressive.

Name those 6th bench greats.

Bonus:  Who is the only player to win 6th Man while playing under 20 mins/game?

Hard to believe, but coming out of high school Albert King was more highly rated than Magic (as was Gene Banks).  That was a really good high school class.  Not only those 3 guys but Jeff Ruland (a far, far better player than people seem to remember), Jeff Lamp (a great college player), Darnell Valentine, Al Wood, Kelly Tripucka and a bunch more.

1. LouW had 22.6 PPG last year when he won 6-Man

x Jamal topped out at 18.6 PPG in his 3 Awards.

xx RodMan & Ak47 never won 6th Man.
They both started a lot after a few early seasons.
