The 2010 draft, redrafted
Hoops Redraft rates 51 players from the 2010 draft. Eight of them reached 70 or better in at least one season. By the game's numbers the best career in the class belongs to Paul George, taken 10th by Indiana. The latest pick in the redraft's top five is Hassan Whiteside, who went 33rd.
The board below is the real order: where each man was taken and by whom, his rating in 2010-11, his best season and the number of seasons he is rated. Ratings are scaled inside each season, so 50 is that year's average player and 70 is a star. Eight of them have no 2010-11 rating, shown as a dash.
