Greer and Gervin were named already. Otherwise, good guesses. I wouldn't have thought of Jokic, but with the MVP I suppose it's possible.

Thanks. I'll change it to two other guys -- McAdoo and Pau Gasol.

Jokic was a bit of a flyer. I think they might name him to the team based on what they think he will do, like how Shaq made the all-time Top 50 team

It's like they use the same lottery system to draw the groups of names they release as they do for the draft without them being weighted.

Now that I think about it, I bet they did exactly that. They aren't ranking the 75 players, and they didn't want to create the impression that the order in which they were released was a ranking.

Shawn I don't remember his career stats well enough I'd have to look.

Jimmy is getting warmer but...

(Also I'd forgotten Harden was a MVP . It's hard for me to overlook how HES consistently folded like a deck of cards in the Playoffs)

Kemp had a short span when he was one of the best players in the game, but he sabotaged himself. He signed a extension, and then got upset that other players were being paid more. He threw a hissy fit, put on loads of weight, and his career just collapsed. He was pretty much done by age 29 or 30.

There was a famous incident, when he was about 30, and he took off his jersey and waves it around above his head during the game. He was just fat. I'm not saying fat for an NBA player but fat for anyone. He got widely mocked for that. But that just represented his steep collapse.

Like I said, he had a very good four or five years run, but if you look at his entire career it was a terrible disappointment.
