NBA Redraft 1/21: 2003 The inaugural edition of the NBA redraft series will begin with 2003. That was one of the deepest drafts in NBA history, with the defining player of this generation, and it gives us room for 21 of these, which feels appropriate. I'm imagining the criteria to be something like "Given what we learned about them, who should have been drafted first?" So, it's not specifically "Who had the better career?" We're basically imagining a redo of their careers, so any random occurrences like specific injuries or poor roster management may go differently. Also, potentially relevant is whether the player demonstrated a willingness to stick with the team that drafted them. With all that in mind, who should have been the first pick in the 2003 NBA draft? *I'm including the top 9 players by career VORP from this draft, plus "other"*

Cavs Trade Okoro For Lonzo Ball! What's Next For Cleveland?? Not the kind of move I expected the Cavs to make, but I like Lonzo's game a lot. If he's healthy next season, this could be a great move. Does it foretell another move, though? Perhaps with Garland.
