OK, off the top of your head can you name the only team in the NBA to currently have 3 former Rookie of the Year winners on their roster.
Bonus points if you can also name the two teams that have two former winners.
P.S. How much would John Casey love calling a game between any of these three teams - possibly up to 5 "Former Rookies of the Year" on the court at once!

The John Casey comment got me thinking about the NBL and how many former ROYs could actually be on the court together. The only teams that have more than one is Adelaide (if you count Newley, Dench is the other) and the Dragons (Heal in 1988(!) and Ingles last year). I wonder if Casey has ever referred to Heal as the "former ROY"?

Another piece of interesting trivia is:
The Denver Nuggets have 5 top ten draft picks in their top 7 rotation.

Meanwhile, over the years the Clippers have probably had 5 top ten draft picks that wouldn't make any team's top 7 rotation.

does any team have a roster without a rookie of the year?

Think about how long players tend to play, how many ROTYs there've been in that time (there are 16 currently active I think), how many teams there are in total and that three franchises have 7 of the active ROTYs.

ELG, I'm gonna say the one and only person that makes you warm and fuzzy all over - Wilt?
