2008 NBA Redraft
All 60 picks from the 2008 NBA Draft re-ordered by career value — an even blend of Win Shares and VORP (Basketball-Reference). Russell Westbrook (originally the 4th pick) goes first overall in the redraft; the biggest lottery-level steal is Goran Dragić, taken 45th and now #9. Each slot keeps the team that originally held it.
