    If we change the title to, "If every player in the league had to return to the team that grafted him," then the Blazers would clearly rank #1 with all their bandaged up big men.

    Nope. If every player now had to return.

    I wonder how much Sean Kemp weighs now (not as much as Zion Williamson?)

    So would players that were drafted and traded draft night be returned to the team they were originally drafted by or to team that traded for them draft night. For instance Josh Hart was drafted by the Jazz but traded draft night to the Lakers.

    Alot of players, maybe even a majority in the league were drafted by one team but traded to another draft night or right after and never played for the team that drafted them.

    First of all, I thought you had me on ignore this whole time.

    Secondly, that team was nowhere near a contender

    Should be which team held the player's rights by the time the draft was over.
