2006 NBA Redraft
All 60 picks from the 2006 NBA Draft re-ordered by career value — an even blend of Win Shares and VORP (Basketball-Reference). Kyle Lowry (originally the 24th pick) goes first overall in the redraft; the biggest lottery-level steal is Paul Millsap, taken 47th and now #3. Each slot keeps the team that originally held it.
