If the NBA re-drafted the 2009 NBA Draft, what would it look like?

Hindsight is the most valuable tool that can be used when evaluating NBA prospects. Every NBA GM would love be able to have one do-over pick or free agent signing, but unfortunately no such tool exists… except for on the internet. Let’s use the benefit of hindsight to see who would be picked in the lottery if the 2009 NBA Draft was redrafted.

Would the Grizzlies still draft Hasheem Thabeet with the second overall pick? Well, I will tell you that one — No! Of course not! But would the Thunder still take James Harden with the third overall pick, or maybe nab Stephen Curry instead? For that one, you will have to wait until the third overall pick in the draft to see for yourself.

Remember, the biggest tool we are using for these picks is how the careers of these NBA players have turned out and how they would fit on their new teams. Let us know in the comments who you would pick! Click next to see the 14th overall pick in the redraft.
