Take a look at the championship contenders around the NBA right now, and one will see a good amount of superstars and key players who have been “home-grown.”
The Golden State Warriors have Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. The Phoenix Suns possess Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. The Boston Celtics boast Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Green, the Milwaukee Bucks have raised Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Philadelphia 76ers have been patient with Joel Embiid.
The common thread? All of them were drafted by the team they play for.
