What would NBA teams do differently with their lottery picks given the chance?
This year’s rookie class has been especially interesting to follow. It’s been surprisingly deep, and there could be more than a few franchise-changing players in its ranks.
Though it is still so very early in these players’ careers, I thought it would be fun to do a redraft of the lottery. If teams could go back with the knowledge they now possess of how prospects will perform against NBA competition, what would they do differently? It’s entirely hypothetical, but it’s exciting to imagine nonetheless.
