Two players from the top 5 of the same draft is actually fairly common. Whether it is a situation where the team drafts both players in the same year (most recently last year with the Cavs, but previously the Sonics in 2007, and Bulls in 2001, and I'm sure a few others) or they just end up together like Gooden and Dunleavy on the Bucks this year, Brand and Odom on the Clippers, KG and Joe Smith in Minnesota (and a ton of others - even the Celtics recently had it with LaFrentz and the Kandiman). But aside from the Heat, is anyone aware of another time when 3 teammates were all top 5 picks from the same draft?
If you extend it to top 10 our very own Celtics had it as Pierce would join Kandi and LaFrentz in the 1998 draft, and I'm sure there were others of that, but I'm just curious about the top 5 as that just seems strange that it worked out that all 3 of those guys were in the same draft.
