I don't think Grant has spent time in the D-League. Other 4 were all former D-leaguers.

Some of the starting lineups trotted out by the 2002-03 pre-Melo Denver Nuggets were pretty bad.

Hold up. Elton Brand suited up for the Sixers? Logged onto Twitter and saw him and Baron Davis trending. What year is this?:oldlol:

I remember some pretty terrible Miami teams from that 07-08 season. Kasib Powell, Chris Quinn and co. Yep, this team is worse man:

Some of the starting lineups trotted out by the 2002-03 pre-Melo Denver Nuggets were pretty bad.At least there was Juwan Howard and a young Nene though (not that that's saying a ton at that point). But you've piqued my interest regardless. I picked a random late season game from that year just to see who was filling those other slots.

Nene
Juwan Howard
Rodney White
Junior Harrington
Vincent Yarbrough

Things went downhill fast, haha. Yarbrough had some hype coming up, too. Alas, he was destined to become Kobe fodder.

My contribution has always come from the 1997, Spurs aka the night my dad bought me tickets to see David Robinson play only for Robinson to suffer a season-ending injury prior to my attendance (along with half of the Spurs' entire roster).

Instead of David Robinson, Charles Smith, Sean Elliott, Vinny Del Negro, and Avery Johnson (with Dominique Wilkins coming off the bench), we were treated to:

Carl Herrera
Vernon Maxwell
Will Perdue
Monty Williams
Avery Johnson
Bench: Cadillac Anderson

Annnnd that's how a dynasty was made (that year was the only season of the 90's in which the Spurs missed the playoffs. They drafted Tim Duncan with their lottery pick).

http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200803300BOS.htmlWhoa, missed this on my first read through.

Ricky Davis
Kasib Powell
Chris Quinn
Mark Blount
Earl Barron

Full Bench:

Joel Anthony
Stephane Lasme
Blake Ahearn
Alexander Johnson

That Will Perdue-led Spurs lineup I mentioned on Page 1 would have wiped the floor with these guys.


That lockout season Clippers team was pretty awful.
Picked a game at random, their bench actually impressed me more than their starters.

Starters:
Maurice Taylor
Darrick Martin
Tyrone Nesby
Lorenzen Wright
Charles Smith (the bad one)

Bench:
Michael Olowokandi
Eric Piatkowski
Lamond Murray
Rodney Rogers
Pooh Richardson
Keith Closs

Kind of looks like opposite day. Though, that was the game that pushed them to 1-21, so maybe they were officially in "Let's try anything, even if it means starting our bench and benching all our starters except for Maurice Taylor" mode.

No. Mutombo was Yao's backup. Do you really watch basketball? Or do you just skim through it?
