NBA Draft: Power Ranking All-Draft, All-Time Starting 5 for Each NBA Team
With the 2011 NBA draft quickly approaching, let's take another unique look back through how each team has drafted over the past 25 years.
Imagine if at the beginning of the history of professional basketball, the league owners and players agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement that had one massive rule change: When a player is drafted, they must remain with that team for the duration of their career. No trades are allowed, even on draft day. Free agency no longer exists.
This rule change would have had huge implications. Kobe Bryant would have been on the Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets for his entire career while Dirk Nowitzki would be a member of the Milwaukee Bucks.
So with that in mind, let's take a look through each team's starting five with those hypothetical rules in place. Each starting five is comprised of the best point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center drafted by the team in its history. Keep in mind that all players on these teams are thought of as in their primes.
I recently did the exact same thing with every team for just the last 25 years, meaning that Michael Jordan, the rest of the players drafted in 1984 and those who came into the league even earlier were not eligible for the slideshow. You can find it here: NBA Draft: Power Ranking All-Draft Starting 5 for Each NBA Team in Last 25 Years.
Because the article seemed to go over quite well, here's the all-time version of that concept.
A lot of the decisions about both who to include in the starting five and how to rank the imaginary teams are sure to be controversial, so be sure to leave your opinions in the comment section.
Each team's slide will include the following: the starting five (complete with when they were drafted), the "apologies to" section for those players that were snubbed and the five players' career stats.
Enjoy!
