Moving along in our posts of who wears each Number in the NBA, let's look at the number 5. Not a hugely popular number among NBA players. Here's the list:
Veteran Josh Smith has worn number 5 for the majority of his NBA career. Through the 2014-15 NBA season, Smith had nine consecutive seasons of scoring more than 1,000 points.
Third-year player Victor Oladipo is on pace for his third consecutive season scoring 1,000 points or more. The former number two pick overall by Orlando is playing up to his hype.
