NBA HoopGrids - August 12

For Saturday's NBA HoopGrids, here's a look at grid No. 8: Which player was a teammate of Carmelo Anthony and was a top-10 NBA draft pick? Anthony played for six teams in 19 seasons, which means he has many teammates to pick from.

The 39-year-old legend started his career with the Denver Nuggets in 2003 before forcing a trade to the New York Knicks eight years later. He spent six and a half seasons in the Big Apple and was traded to the OKC Thunder in 2017. He also played for the Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers and LA Lakers.

One of his most popular teammates who was also a top-10 draft pick was LeBron James. They were part of the same class, and both were taken in the first three picks. James was the No. 1 pick, while Anthony went at No. 3.

They were rivals for most of their careers before finally getting the chance to team on the LA Lakers in the 2021-22 NBA season.
