Best NBA line-ups by jersey number (0–10)
Which team would win the most games if players were selected based on their jersey number?
I decided to find out which jersey number was more superior by creating a typical NBA line-up by selecting the best current players for each number, starting with the 0–10 range. I decided to combine players who wear 0 and 00 due to a lack of players.
So here are the best possible line-ups for each jersey number.
Note: Players must be selected in their traditional playing position according to Basketball Reference.
