Tends to be a good strategy on American sports quizzes. Always start with Smith, Jackson, Johnson, Williams, Brown.

Would tweak the positions a bit. not many are wrong by a lot but having Oubre as PG feels tricky (1 APG for his career).

otherwise great quiz

I got the positions from ESPN. But it looks like I might have made a mistake on Oubre.

I don't follow the NBA at all - could only manage about 30 names that I've absorbed through the ether over the past few years. Nearly every name I knew from more than a few years ago seems to have retired. My biggest surprise is how many centers are listed - I thought the game had shifted away from that position to the point where having one was more an exception than the rule.
