NBA Roster

Centers:      Joel Embiid, Jahlil Okafor, Nerlens Noel
Power Forward:  Carl Landry, Dario Sario, Ben Simmons, Richaun Holmes
Small Forward:  Jerami Grant, Robert Covington, James Webb III, Shawn Long
Shooting guard: Gerald Henderson, Hollis Thompson, Nik Stauskas, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, Brandon Paul, Furkan Korkmaz
Point guard: Sergio Hernandez, T.J. McConnell, Cat Barber, Jerryd Bayless, Kendall Marshall.

Three centers, four power forwards, four small forwards, five-six shooting guards, five point guards.

We know that training camp uses extra position slots to add a competitive flavor to the pre-season, give coaches enough players to have meaningful scrimmages, have enough surplus to give teams chances to rest the bumped and bruised players before the season starts.

But there is some talent on this team now which may have started a season ago, but is now at risk of not even making the team.  In fact, of this group, one will be gone before training camp begins.
