12. Justin and Julian Champagnie

This is arguably cheating, since Julian Champagnie has never played in an NBA game. But he might by the end of the year and the Committee of One decided that was good enough to be counted in these rankings.

Julian is the younger of the two, picked up by the Philadelphia 76ers after not being selected in the 2022 NBA Draft. Philadelphia inked the former St. John’s Red Storm star to a two-way contract after the draft.

Julian recently dropped his first double-double in the G League, recording 15 points and 10 rebounds in a Delaware Blue Coats win over Greensboro. Odds are decent that he’ll pop up in an NBA game this year.

Julian’s twin, Justin, also went undrafted, but made the leap to the league a year before Julian and is slightly more established. He played 36 games last season, averaging 2.3 points and 2.0 rebounds per game while recording limited minutes off the bench.

Justin managed to snag the final roster spot on the Toronto Raptors in the offseason, but has struggled to get on to the court, between being sent down to the G League and nursing a back injury. He’s played only two NBA contests this year.

The twins haven’t made a big mark on the league yet, but they are only 21 years old. Their inclusion here is more of an honorable mention for what they could eventually become.
