pf: mcroberts 13-14 / rambis 88-89 / kaminsky 16-17
c: divac 96-97 / zeller 19-20 / geiger 95-96

Hayward/Chapman/[Micic or Ridnour]
Tripucka/Morrison/Belinelli
McBob/Herrmann
Zeller/Frank/Rambis
Vlade/Geiger/[any of the 75 3rd string white guy 7-footers we've had over the years]

Jeremy Lin is close enough, so he can be the PG.

Do half-white players count? Then we can add Melo and let him play PG.

he actually played 13 games, which is more than I remember

and then he was basically traded straight up for Dwight, that was interesting
investigate Adam Silver
