81. <p>The Raptors originally selected Demar DeRozan with this pick in the actual 2009 draft, so they take a similar player with a high ceiling in the redraft — Jeff Teague out of Wake Forest. Teague has been a solid point guard for the Hawks, starting 79 games last season and averaging a career high 16.5 points. He could help the Raptors and is a good value pick in this spot. Teague is drafted 10 spots higher than he originally was in the redraft.</p>. Guard. Wake Forest. Jeff Teague. 9. player

<p>The Knicks need a point guard, and they finally have found one in the 2009 NBA redraft in Jrue Holliday. Holliday played at UCLA and was drafted with the 17th overall pick by the 76ers. He made an All-Star team in 2013 and was traded to the Pelicans in July of 2013. Holiday could come into New York and handle the pressure of playing in the big city and more importantly, handle the pressure of playing with Carmelo. He is a big upgrade over Raymond Felton and Jeremy Lin for the Knicks.</p>. Guard. UCLA. Jrue Holliday. 8. player. 27
