22. Denver Nuggets: Dan Issel, 94.8 Win Shares

A legend at the University of Kentucky, Dan Issel played five seasons for the ABA’s Kentucky Colonels before joining the Denver Nuggets in 1975. Issel would play the last 10 years of his basketball career with the Nuggets as one of the game’s consistent scorers.

Nikola Jokic (79.6) is already third for the Nuggets in all-time Win Shares. And if The Joker has another season with his Win Shares total over 15 (which he has accomplished in each of his last two seasons as the back-to-back MVP), then Jokic will pass Issel sometime at the end of next season (!!).
