Which NBA family would you build around? 

Post#1 » by giordunk » Mon Dec 2, 2024 1:05 pm

If you had some sort of fantasy draft where you could choose a whole family, which position would you build around?

Blood-related players only, no related through marriage (can't join the Curry and Rivers families)

Here are the first few candidates that come to mind if you want two quality players.

McGrady/Carter cousins
Gasol brothers
Sabonis father and son

Otherwise if you wanna go just get the best player available you have options like

James's
Bryants
Currys
Waltons

I'd probably choose T-Mac/Carter because they have better positional fit.

Probably T-Mac and Vince, although they are both high usage guys and I'm not sure how well it'll work out

Are there any families that made it to 5 members in the NBA?

Barry, Grant, Jones at 4x that I can think of.

Anywho, not my top picks, but I'd throw the Mikans/Schayes onto the list.

Joe Caldwell/Marvin Bagley III is a sneaky alright one if Bagley turns into a solid player at any point, not for winning, but top 20.

I think I'd probably go with LeBron though, lol.

I'm taking the Currys, and honestly I'm not sure its close. Dell was very very good, borderline All-Star level, in a league not conducive to his game. So you're basically getting something similar to the Splash Bros, except its the Splash Father and Son. You also get Seth for free. T-Mac and Vince might have an argument if you're looking solely at peak, but that's a short as hell peak compared to Steph.

Mychal and Klay would be a good and balanced duo.

I might just take the Sabonis' particularly if I can have younger and less injured Arvydas.

Both are advanced stat darlings and the fit next to each other should be pretty good. Both can shoot the three and are great passers at their size and position.
