I had to go through and do this. I went and looked up the starting lineups of all the teams in the league and the number of years in the league. A rookie has 0 yrs a sophomore has 1 year and so on. This is a little misleading in that it was the teams most recent starting 5, for example Tony Parker would skew the Spurs to be older. I also put Favors as our starting Center instead of Kanter We have the 17th oldest starting five in the league. We are tied with the Pacers in terms of age of starting 5. I didn't have enough time to do the whole roster and weight it per minute played but the rumor of us just losing because we are young is silly. Attached is the table.
