Basically, what is the best possible starting five that could be built through the draft and would be competing in the league today using what we know? Basically every player that was available when that team picked.

For example, Kings had picks:

#4 in 09
#5 in '10
#7 in '11
#7 in '13 and
#6 in '06 (or #6 in '15)

With those picks they could have had a starting 5 of:

Curry in 09' with #4 pick
Klay Thompson #7 in '11
Giannis #7 in '13
Paul Millsap in #19th pick '06
Cousins - same

Klay
Barnes
Green
Ezeli

That's their starting 5.

Wolves
Westbrook 2008 3rd
Curry 09 5th
DeRozan 09 6th
Cousins 10 4th
Leonard 11 2nd
Gobert 13 14th

I don't even need 2014 and 15.
Westbrook
Curry
Leonard
Cousins

From 2011 onwards

2011 1: Kyrie
2011 4: Kawhi
2012 4: Drummond
2013 1: Noel
2014 1: Wiggins

Kyrie
Wiggins
Kawhi
Noel
Drummond

the spacing isnt great, but thats an insane defensive team, easily the most talent on defense in the league. Plus kyrie to carry them offensively when they get cold.

Kyrie
Wiggins
Kawhi
Green
Noel

That is still filthy on defense. Green is a nice high-post release valve for Kyrie/Noel PnRs.

Kinda rushed this but for Orlando from 2011 onwards:

2012 19: Draymond Green
2013 2: Nerlens Noel
2014 4: Aaron Gordon
2015 5: Mario Hezonja
2014 10: Elfrid Payton


Payton
Hezonja
Gordon
Green
Noel

Can't really fault any of Orlando's picks so far, have been unlucky to drop just out of range of the legit stars and while I passed up Oladipo here it was more for fit knowing Hezonja was there in the current draft. This team would be fun to see Gordon/Green as genuine combo forwards but the lack of shooting and scoring would stop it being any good.
