17 teams in the league had 2 or 3 "homegrown" starters in their opening game last week.
6 teams had 4.
3 teams had 0.
There are 8 players who made their NBA debut with the Lakers who are starting for somebody else this year, more than any other team.

Thanks! It was inspired by Reddit user pipeliner_usa who shared this baseball version a few months ago:

Wonderful visualization.
As roughly checked, TOR has selected 10 starters. LAL/OKC 8. MEM/SAS 7.
Is it okay to say they have good scouters? lol

This is awesome! I always forget how home grown the Warriors are. Same for Suns!

Here's another 🤯 one along the same lines, Tom. There were six opening-night starters around the league with 20,000 regular-season minutes logged for their current team before this year. Half of them on the Warriors!

I don't understand why Lakers either don't trade for their old picks or old players.

the Heat only have one player who’s in the starting line up of another team and 2 in their own..
That’s incredible talent management when you think about where they have been picking since 2009.

What team has picked the fewest current starters? I think I see the Kings at 2 total around the league, dunno who else is at the bottom.

Love this graphic. Would like to see one where the players aren't allocated to the team that drafted them but to the team where they played the most games

amazing that sacramento has missed the playoffs for 20 years but also only two starters in the league currently were drafted by them
