I don’t think another team has gotten this far playing 4 undrafted guys this much though

What comes to mind are the Hawks team? But even they had a lot of first round talent.

On top of their best player being pick 30.. Even Lowry was the late 20s. They have Love (well past his prime) but aside from that Bam he is the only lottery pick in their main rotation, and Bam was 14th AKA the very last lottery pick.

Herro would be 13th but he's out right now, Zeller I think was 4th but he's 11th/12th man at this point.

Ben Wallace was undrafted, Prince was late first round, but even on that team all of Billups, Rip, Sheed were top 10 picks. Atlanta might be the most similar, but even most of those guys were late 1st/2nd rather than undrafted, and Horford was 3rd with Dennis, Teague being mid-1st guys.

It might be slipping my mind what other teams have had rosters similar to those but the more impressive thing is this is really a 4-year run for them. 3 of the past 4 years they have been here with similar rosters. Finals team had Crowder and Dragic, but even they are 2nd round guys. Nunn was yet another undrafted.

Man, looking at the 2013 Draft is rough. Oladipo was #2 and you have Giannis and Gobert. Some solid guys like KCP and Schroder. But damn.

Stan Van being the co-color commentator makes Reggie a lot more tolerable on commentary somehow.

I still would take Chris Webber or Grant Hill over him any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Stop settling Tatum. When you take it to the rack. Good things happen.

Tatum does give me the feeling that at this point that if you rough him up a little when he does to the rim early on, he'll avoid it the rest of the game unless it's just a wide open lane to the cup lol
