Answers to the August 22 NBA Immaculate Grid

Answers to Cells 1-3 are here.

Russell Westbrook and Josh Smith are popular answers for Cell 4. Westbrook played for the Houston Rockets before becoming the LA Clippers’ starting point guard. Smith also played for both teams. A gem of an answer here is Eric Piatkowski. He was with the Clippers for almost a decade before playing for a season in Houston.

Charles Barkley and James Harden are popular options for Cell 5. Harden won his lone MVP award with the Rockets and now wants out of Philly. Barkley was the 76ers’ franchise player for years before a brief stay in Houston.

Current Philadelphia 76ers backup big man Montrezl Harrell also played for the Rockets once. He’s an excellent choice here.

Kevin Porter Jr., Steve Francis and Sam Cassell are great fits for Cell 6. They averaged 5.0 APG in a season multiple times in their NBA careers and also played for the Rockets.

Stephen Jackson, Brent Barry, Howard Eisley, Moses Malone and Kawhi Leonard once played for the San Antonio Spurs and LA Clippers. Any of them will be a great choice for Cell 7.

Boban Marjanovic, Vernon Maxwell, Bruce Bowen, George Hill and Danny Green have Spurs-76ers connections. Cell 8 is where they fit best.

Tony Parker, the recent Hall of Fame inductee from the San Antonio Spurs is the popular answer. He had several seasons with at least 5.0 APG. Before him, the Spurs' backcourt had Avery Johnson, who led the team with 7.4 APG during their title run in 1999.
