The back of the pack is full of familiar names. The league's longest shots were all 2012 lottery teams: Cleveland Cavaliers (200-1), Detroit Pistons (200-1), Sacramento Kings (200-1), Toronto Raptors (200-1), Washington Wizards (200-1) and Charlotte Bobcats (500-1). All six of those teams opened at 200-1 or worse to start the 2011-12 season.
Other than Dwyane Wade, Udonis Haslem is the only player from both the 2006 and 2012 Miami Championship teams. Haslem averaged 6.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game last season and is a reliable shooter on pick-and-pop situations. He is a very unselfish player with a high motor and is one of the best rebounders on the team, flourishing down low with the second unit. 2ff7e9595c
