    If we started 100% of our rookies end of last year and start 100% day1 this year it'll be only one rookie starting.

    They were all rookies at some point, man...

    Very rare for us to only have one drafted rookie on the roster. 2016 we did with Jake Laymen and 2020 with CJ Elleby. They were both 2nd round picks though. Need to go back to Qyntel Woods in 2002 when our only rookie was a first round pick from what I can tell.

    Actually crazy how many 2nd round picks as rookies we've had on the roster over the years. For an average NBA team it should be 1 per year but we had tons of years with multiple ones. I guess that was part of Paul Allen being willing to spend a bit more money and loving the draft. Certainly had a number of very good role players throughout those years.

    We didn't draft all of last year's rookies, so that's a moot point.
