2009 NBA Redraft
All 60 picks from the 2009 NBA Draft re-ordered by career value — an even blend of Win Shares and VORP (Basketball-Reference). James Harden (originally the 3rd pick) goes first overall in the redraft; the biggest lottery-level steal is Danny Green, taken 46th and now #6. Each slot keeps the team that originally held it.
