2002 NBA Redraft
All 57 picks from the 2002 NBA Draft re-ordered by career value — an even blend of Win Shares and VORP (Basketball-Reference). Amar'e Stoudemire (originally the 9th pick) goes first overall in the redraft; the biggest lottery-level steal is Luis Scola, taken 56th and now #9. Each slot keeps the team that originally held it.
