#7 The Golden State Warriors are the only team to field a starting lineup of 5 rookies in the modern NBA
The Golden State Warriors became the first NBA team in modern history to start five rookies in one game for their 2011-12 season finale against the San Antonio Spurs on 26th April 2012. With a roster decimated by injuries, coach Mark Jackson fielded a unit of guards Klay Thompson and Charles Jenkins, forwards Chris Wright and Jeremy Tyler, and Mickell Gladness at center.

Thompson, Jenkins and Tyler are all Warriors draft picks, Wright was a training camp invitee and Gladness joined the team after signing a 10-day contract earlier this month.
