To this point, I have a homework assignment for whomever wants to accept it. Has there been another team in NBA history to start 5 lottery picks who were all drafted within 3 years of each other?

Pretty amazing really..... add in that all of them are under the age of 25. I bet it is unprecedented

Interesting question. Just off the top of my head, the Bucks probably could I think if they started Knight, Antetokounmpo, Parker, Henson, and Sanders?

EDIT: That would be 4 years though cause Sanders was 2010 draft and Parker was 2014 draft

Also, they aren't all lotto picks.

Would you rather win 50 games and someone within the organization die, or win 25 games and no one dies?

Hmmm...nice find.

I'm impressed you've taken the time to find this stuff, even coming up with the Bucks example that was really close, but - and I realize I'm being nitpicky - I looked at games at the beginning of 02-03, the middle of the season and at the end of the season, and I didn't find any where all five guys started together.

You get 75% credit.

Tanking last year was the right decision. We got what we were looking for: a potential star. Now that we have him, I think this core has the talent to eventually develop into a title contender. So we don't need to tank again this year.

I'm ready to root for some Jazz wins again.
