Basketball teams cannot live on stars alone. You'll bloat up with hydrogen and burn yourself. No, instead you need a balanced diet. 

Everyone understands this to be true. Unless your best players can log 40 minutes game after game, you're going to need some depth. You're going to need guys who can come off the bench and chip in a few buckets, a clutch rebound or some sticky defense.

Some bench players even contribute more. In the case of these players, it's a lot more. These are the best players in the nation who don't consistently start for their teams. They are ranked based on individual statistics and overall team performance.
