    ...nine drafted (or acquired the daft day rights to) players.

    I wonder if any other playoff team can make that same boast?

    That's an amazing stat to me.

    LMA, Nic, Jerryd, Rudy, Greg, Travis, Sergio, Brandon, and Martell.

    What's even more amazing is that 7 of them are regular rotation guys. I don't think I've seen that many drafted players in regular rotation... ever. The 1989-90 blazers had 5: Cliffy, Mark Bryant, Terry, Clyde, Jerome, which I always thought was fairly high.

    Add Drazen Petrovic.

    For comparison's sake, 1999-2000 had just 3. Arvydas Sabonis, Bonzi Wells and Jermaine O'Neal.

    D'oh! I knew I was missing one... and I loved Petro! Rudy reminds me so much of him which is :ghoti: but the memory of his death makes me :sigh:
