Best of the Worst: All-NBA Lottery Team

Now that the NBA regular season is officially over, we will be hearing about the playoffs constantly. Every year, there are players that did not have a good team around them that did not make the playoffs.

This slideshow is dedicated to those players who are on lottery teams. Here is the All-NBA Lottery team.

Starting Point Guard: Tyreke Evans

20.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game.

Evans is arguably the best rookie in this class and he almost made the Kings a playoff contender in the middle of the season.

His size and strength make him a rare point guard. It is too bad that Evans had to be on this young team since he would be fun to watch in the playoffs. Hopefully, the Kings can grab a good big man or shooting guard to accompany Evans next year.

Back-up Point Guard: Stephen Curry

Stats: 17.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game.

Curry has been surprisingly good this season for a rookie. His style of play is perfect for Don Nelson's system. He proved to be a great distributor aside from his "scorer" label.

Unfortunately, Curry could find himself on this list for many years to come since the Warriors are far from being a playoff contending team. Who knows, maybe a good draft pick and a breakout season by Anthony Randolph could get him in the playoffs.

Starting Shooting Guard: Monta Ellis

Stats: 25.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game.

If your team is looking for a high-volume scorer, Ellis is your man. His semi-selfish demeanor made him a mismatch more many Western Conference guards.

For a guy who led the league in turnovers, Ellis is lucky to make the first team. If it weren't for his great improvement on defense, Ellis would easily be left off the list.

Back-up Shooting Guard: Kevin Martin

Stats: 20.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.

Similar to Ellis, Martin is an elite level scorer. After being traded to Houston, Martin found his ideal backcourt teammate in Aaron Brooks. His three-point shooting and ability to quietly put up big numbers is rare for a player of his caliber.

Luckily, Yao Ming should be returning to Houston for next year and Martin could find himself dueling it out in the 2011 playoffs.

Starting Small Forward: Danny Granger

Stats: 24.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game.

Although Danny Granger suffered from nagging injuries, he still managed to put up some big numbers. Granger has proved that he is no franchise player, but if a player is looking for a sidekick, Granger should be considered.

It is truly sad that Granger likely will never be able to have major success with the Pacers and he will be stuck with them for quite some time.

Back-up Small Forward: Andre Iguodala

Stats: 17.2 points,, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game.

Iguodala is one of the game's best athletes. Although his team under-performed this season, Iguodala did not fail to put up consistent numbers. His improved jumper and great passing make him a great piece to any franchise.

Starting Power Forward: Chris Bosh

Stats: 24.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks per game.

Bosh's team just barely missed the playoffs this year. He continually put up monster numbers for the Raptors and managed to improve his game. As a defender, Bosh became a much better player since he improved his conditioning in the offseason.

After such a successful season on a personal level, Bosh should earn himself a big paycheck this summer.

Back-up Power Forward: Zach Randolph

Stats: 20.8 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game.

Whenever anyone brings up the name Zach Randolph, typically the first word that comes to mind is "trouble". This season, Randolph improved his attitude and work ethic and became a dominant force for the Memphis Grizzlies.

He also became a great influence on center Marc Gasol, a player who would have been the 14th man on this list.

If Randolph can continue to put up monster numbers, the Grizzlies could be in the race for the eighth seed in the Western Conference again.

Starting Center: David Lee

Stats: 20.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steal per game.

The pressure of playing basketball in New York is like no other city.

David Lee's 37 point, 20 rebound, and 10 assist game was incredible and confirmed that he deserved to be in the all-star game.

It is too bad that Lee is likely not in the plan for the Knicks in the future, but he should be able to find a home after putting up great games for the Knicks. Sooner or later, his hard work on the boards will be appreciated.

Back-up Center: Chris Kaman

Stats: 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game.

It's hard playing for a cursed franchise. Luckily, Kaman was not cursed this season. His semi-breakout year made defenses have to focus on stopping him. His shot was falling but it was not enough to push the Clippers to the playoffs.

With Blake Griffin returning, tons of salary flexibility, and a lottery pick this summer, it is possible that Kaman could be in the playoffs next year.

11th man: Brook Lopez

Stats: 18.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game.

Sure, the Nets were the worst team in the NBA this season, but Lopez was not one of the worst players by far. He continued his great play from his rookie season and showed great maturity from all of the losses that the Nets experienced.

With Mikhail Prokhorov willing to spend a lot of money this summer, Lopez should not feel the need to put the team on his back this year.

12th man: Rudy Gay

Stats: 19.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game.

If there weren't so many good small forwards in the league this year, Rudy Gay would have been an all-star. At some points, it looked like he was simply trying to pad his stats for the summer, but seeing Memphis in the fight for the playoffs did show he cared.

Depending on where Gay ends up this summer, he could be in for a big pay check or a lot of success.

13th man: Darren Collison

Stats: 12.3 points, 5.6 assists, and 1.0 steals per game.

The stats does not tell the whole story for Collison. At one point in the season, Collison was the best rookie in the league.

After Chris Paul went down with an injury, Collison's blazing speed instantly replaced Paul's blazing speed. It may be a result of the New Orleans Hornets' system, but there is no doubt that Collison filled some big shoes.
