Texas Western was the first team in NCAA basketball history to start 5 black African American's in the NCAA championship game.

Question:

Who was the first, and to my knowledge the only NBA team to start an all NON-NCAA five? In other words, what team in the NBA started 5 guys who never played one game in NCAA basketball competition?

Hint: It happened this year.

I want to say Monta Ellis, SJax, Al Harrington, Pietrus and Biedrins.

But SJax went to a community college, so I am not sure. This is something I heard on the radio or read on a blog. Just trivia I filed away for future use.
