What If You Made Up NBA Teams With THEIR Draft Picks


What if each NBA team drafted somebody and had to keep them for their entire career? What would the NBA look like?

Well, Kobe Bryant would play for the Hornets, Pau Gasol is a Hawk, Joe Johnson a Celtic and LeBron James would be in Cleveland again.

Below is what each team would look like if they kept the top 10 drafted players that are still active in the NBA.

Some teams (most notably the Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets) can't fill a full team. In Denver's case, they barely have a starting roster. It happens when you trade away all your draft picks and strike out on the ones you actually do use.
