Front Court

First up is the front court.

I would nominate Dwyane Wade, Juwan Howard and Anthony Davis.

Why, you ask?

With the exception of Davis, they share something powerful in common: NBA Championship pedigree.

Wade is a three-time NBA champion as a former member of the Miami Heat. Not to forget to mention he was named the 2005-2006 NBA Finals MVP. In doing so, Wade has done a lot over the years to solidify his standing in the league. He currently has a 100% probability of being named to the Hall of Fame.

Wade announced his retirement in April 2019 after 12 seasons played primarily with the Heat.

Howard is a one-time NBA champion as a former member of the Heat. Other notable accolades include a 1996 All-Star nod, 1995-1996 All-NBA Team selection and the 1994-1995 Rookie of the Year award.

Howard can be seen coaching the men’s basketball program for the University of Michigan, which is where he went to college for three years before declaring for the NBA Draft.

After getting drafted by the Washington Bullets in 1994, Howard went on to play 19 seasons in the league.

Howard has a 0.1 percent probability of being named to the Hall of Fame.

Unlike Howard and Wade, Davis is still actively playing in the league. He has built quite a resume through this point in his career. Davis is a 7-time NBA All-Star, 2017 All-Star Game MVP, 2012-2013 Rookie of the Year honoree, multiple All-NBA Team selections and multiple All-Defensive Team selections.

Davis has a 91.3 percent probability of being named to the Hall of Fame.
