Luka Doncic, Paolo Banchero and more: Looking at the NBA players signed by the Jordan brand

Since Michael Jordan became one of the greatest players in the NBA, Jordan Brand has continued to grow in popularity throughout the league. Each year, a new wave of highly touted prospects finds its way towards joining the Jordan family. Some of the biggest superstars in the past and present have been a part of the brand.

The NBA continues to be a battleground for some of the top brands in sports as rival companies like Nike, Adidas and Under Armour have continued to grow. Regardless of their success, there's nothing quite as popular as Jordan Brand, especially when it comes to basketball shoes.

Let's take a look at five notable players signed by Jordan Brand.
