5. Jarron Collins

You could almost argue this one is a push. Twins, Jason and Jarron Collins both had long NBA careers despite never averaging more than 6.4 points per game in a single season, a number which (of course) is both of their career-highs.

Jason, however, was the better rebounder averaging one more rebound per game throughout his career than his twin brother, Jarron. Jason also played three seasons longer than Jarron.

So, which brother did the Phoenix Suns sign for their 2009-2010 season? Jerron, of course. That year, as one of the last players off the bench, Collins scored just one point and grabbed 1.8 rebounds per game.

To be fair, his brother, Jason, wasn’t significantly better than him, which is why I said this could be argued as a push, but with a better rebounding average and longer NBA career, I give the nod to Jason and thus, the Suns’ tradition continues.
