46. Gilbert Arenas
Possibly the most intriguing possibility for the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2018 is “Agent Zero”, Gilbert Arenas. For a three year stretch, Arenas was an All Star and averaged over 25 Points per Game with a PER over 20 in those three seasons. He was lights out behind the arc and earned three post season All-NBA nods (one Second Team and two Third Teams) and was the man in Washington. Sadly after a few controversial moments and a torn MCL, Arenas may have performed his way out of a Hall of Fame spot. We are very curious to see what support he receives for Springfield.
