67. Jon Sundvold
Jon Sundvold was a 6'2" guard from Sioux Falls, SD. Born on July 2nd, 1961, the Blue Springs High alum played his collegiate ball with the University of Missouri Tigers. He put up his best numbers as a senior, scoring 17.1 points with 2.4 rebounds per game. After graduating following the 1982-83 season, the Seattle SuperSonics chose him in the first round with the 16th overall pick.
Sundvold played two seasons in Seattle (146 games), averaging six points and three assists in 16 minutes off the bench. He then joined the San Antonio Spursfor three seasons (198 games), scoring four points and 1.4 assists in nine points per contest. The Heat picked him up when the Spurs left him unprotected in the 1988 expansion draft.
Sundvold signed with Miami for three years and $918,000. As a member of the inaugural season's Heat, he led the NBA in three-point percentage, shooting at a 52.2% clip (48-for-92). He played in 68 games, averaging 19.7 minutes and starting six games at shooting guard. Overall, his shooting percentage was not as stellar, clocking in with a 45.5% mark. He averaged 10.4 points and two assists per game, finishing in double figures 34 times. On December 27th, in a 101-93 loss to the Houston Rockets, he hit 10-of-15 shots with six rebounds and a total of 25 points. The 10th of January would see him play 33 minutes and score a season high 28 points with four rebounds in a 92-88 loss to the Utah Jazz. On January 15th, he equalled his season-high with 28 points (including a five-for-six mark from long distance) with three dimes and three steals in a 118-117 win over the Indiana Pacers.
In 1989-90, Sundvold continued to light it up from outside, shooting three-pointers at a 44% rate (fourth in the NBA). He played in 63 games, all but twice coming off the bench to average just short of 14 minutes per game. His points per game averaged dropped to 6.1. He scored 10 or more points on 18 occasions. On March 17th, he scored a season high 18 points, including a four-fo-six performance from three point range in 24 minutes of a 111-98 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
1990-91 would see Sundvold's role shrink to 24 appearances, all off the bench. He played 9.4 minutes per game and averaged under five points with one assist per appearance. He scored 13 on three occasions, comprising of all his double figure efforts. He played in just three games the following season, scoring three points on (what else) a three-pointer in a 111-89 win over the New Jersey Nets. The shot would leave him a perfect one-for-one that season. He closed out his NBA career with brief appearance in Miami's first ever playoff game, a 113-94 loss to the Chicago Bulls. He went scoreless, missing his only shot and finishing with one foul.
Sundvold didn't appear in the NBA again after that, using his finance degree to open Sundvold Capital Management. He also sometimes works with ESPN, CBS, and with the Missouri Sports Network as a color analyst.
Stat Line: 158 games, 15.4 minutes, .435 field goals, .474 three-pointers, .850 free throws, 7.6 points, 1.7 assists, 1.1 rebounds, 12.0 PER, 2.1 Win Shares.
