Redrafting the 2021 NBA Draft ahead of 2022

The NBA Draft for 2021 was held a year ago, but here’s how it would have gone if we could look back on it and make some changes!

A star-studded 2021 NBA Draft class was formally selected into the association last year, giving the NBA an injection of talent that might transform the league’s future. Did the players move in the proper order, then?

When you have 20/20 hindsight on your side, the majority of the answers to those questions are approximately what you would anticipate.

Teams today cannot, of course, redraft. They are stuck with the individuals they either drafted or signed. But GiveMeSport has predicted what the 2021 NBA Draft will look like if we had hindsight.

Let’s move straight on to the 2021 NBA Redraft with the benefit of hindsight.

Original pick: Cade Cunningham

Redraft pick: Cade Cunningham

Large wings with the size, ability, scoring, and playmaking that Cunningham possesses are just so very uncommon. It’s also difficult to exaggerate how crucial he already is to the Pistons. 

Original pick: Jalen Green

Redraft pick: Evan Mobley

In his one season with the Cavaliers, Mobley has shown that he might well be a true unicorn, averaging nearly two blocks per game, 15.0 points, and 8.3 rebounds per game, and demonstrating his skills as one of the NBA’s most explosive young bigs.

Redraft pick: Scottie Barnes

Barnes’ worth as a switchable, big-bodied defender with flawless passing vision would make him the type of player you need to build a championship team.

Redraft pick: Franz Wagner

Due to his defence, distributing, and stature, Wagner emerged as one of the most desirable long-term possibilities in the draft while shooting 35.4 percent from 3-point range
