I'm curious to know if there are any teams, preferably in the higher divisions like 1 or 2 (therefore relatively successful) which field 5 starters they have drafted themselves? I've come to a realization that this is probably not the case, so if anyone can find a team like this I would love to see it.

I'm working on building a trio of starters.
I have a 6'8 PF type 20 yr old Per All-Star drafted.
I have a 6'8 PG (going to make into a SF) 19 yr old All-Star drafted.
I have a 6'11 PG (going to make into a Center) 18 yr old Superstar drafted.
Also I have a 6'10 PF 21 yr old 6th man who is original to my team that will be a backup.

I'm pretty sure I can keep these players around long-term. But a whole team of starters seems pretty tough to build. However once I am finshed training my 18 year old (around 25) its possible I could end up training up some guards

Very hard to have guys you drafted yourself on your team in the top divisions because if you are winning you are getting horrible draft picks. Two of my starters are guys I bought very young and trained up (one as an 18 year old rookie). It is also so hard to train forwards, they take forever. By the time you have trained a C, some forwards, a SG and finally a PG your C would be 40 and retired.

In the old days when every draftee had allstar* potential it was very easy for teams to train their own draftees but now it is so much harder when such a majority of draft picks are totally worthless. Mind you my team is not a good example of what I am saying, I have had a lot of luck with the draft and if I had put winning aside I could have achieved close to this.

that's pretty impressive, to have a whole team comprised of your own draftees and still be competitive in a div 3.

Wow that is completly incredible. Massive respect to those two teams. Best I know of in Australia is a division II team but they have bought three of their players, but the rest are either drafted or original team players. (196120)
