The only three teams in the Great Teams of the Century game with no NBA players are 2006 George Mason, 2011 VCU and 2018 Loyola-Chicago. I ranked everyone else by players and then total years.
Everyone you need to play the game yourself except for a few dice is on this link.
Note for fellow nerds on projections: I added projected remaining years of NBA play based on a player in the NBAdraft.net top 10, will play 10 years, top 20 will play 9 years etc., but for players already in the league I adjusted based on their trend (e.g. Michael Conley, Anthony Davis and Draymond Green will end up with very long NBA careers while a high draft pick whose minutes have dwindled the last couple of years likely does not have many years left.
