    Is this based on place of birth or high school graduation? Seems inconsistent in that regard.

    Few problems.
    DJ Augustin is from Missouri City, which is in the greater Houston area. Should b over Gibson.
    Ben McLemore is from Humble. Also greater Houston area. Should be over Daniel Gibson.
    Emeka Okafor could've been our PF on this thing if they put robin Lopez at 4.

    Rashard Lewis was the best player to come out of Houston, not saying much now. He's from Alief.

    He was born in Louisiana, just like Clyde Drexler. So, if you say that Lewis was the best player to come out of Houston, where does that leave Clyde?

    Pacers 5:
    Plumlee
    Randolph
    Hayward
    Conley
    Teague

    Their bencH:
    Eric Gordon
    George Hill,
    Courtney Lee,
    Josh McRoberts,
    Cody Zeller

    The other Plumlee, the other Zeller and the other Teague round out the bench.

    and...
    Greg Popovich is coach
    Larry Bird is GM

    Chicago team would be good. I always thought they were the top bball city in terms of homegrown talent. Washington's stacked too (all though it's a bit skewed because they're including Baltimore).

    SoCal has some talent too. Atlanta be pretty good. A lot of point guards on that charlotte team- I wonder if that's coincidence or if there's something about that area that nutures point guards.

    Minnesota is god awful. What a surprise.

    Genius idea for all-star weekend: Three on three tourney, Hometowns vs hometowns.

    It would be fun.

    LeBron/Sullinger/Burke vs. Durant/Anthony/Gay, for example
