10 years later, we look back at the 2006 NBA Draft by re-selecting the top 10 draft picks from that year

Ten years ago, the 2006 NBA Draft took place. If you remember correctly, Andrea Bargnani went first overall (to the Toronto Raptors), Adam Morrison went third (to the Charlotte Bobcats) and Tyrus Thomas went fourth (to the Portland Trail Blazers, then was traded to the Chicago Bulls on draft night).

I think it’s safe to say that some teams would like to be able to take back their picks and draft again. Especially looking back 10 years. I mean, who wouldn’t like a do-over, if you got a sneak peak at what your life would be like 10 years from now?

Many of us would try to change the course of action for the better, especially if we know we made a mistake.

So, on the 10-year anniversary, let us re-draft the class of 2006 and countdown who the Top 10 would’ve been with hindsight in mind.
