If Ohio State was fielding a starting team based on current (sort of) NBA players, here’s what it would look like

If you could assemble a starting team in the NBA from just former Ohio State players currently on NBA rosters, what would it look like?

Kosta Koufos – Formerly Sacramento Kings

Koufos has been a journeyman but found his way to the Sacramento Kings last season. At seven-foot, he provides the much-needed height on the post, but he can also step out and hit the mid-range. He’s not going to put the team on his back and win a game, but he can add a much-needed dimension of defense and rebounding. He’s chipped in almost six points and five rebounds in just an average of sixteen minutes per contest during his career, but those numbers would go up with an increase in minutes.

Okay, so not quite as impressive as the football squad we put together, but this would be a competitive one. If you put together one from the likes of Duke, North Carolina, or Kentucky though — this Buckeye squad might be in trouble.
