A re-draft of the Philadelphia 76ers' 2009 NBA draft selections suggests a different choice at No. 17. Instead of selecting Jrue Holiday, HoopsHype indicates that Ty Lawson should have been picked. Holiday, an All-Star in 2013, was later traded to the New Orleans Pelicans for the No. 6 pick, which became Nerlens Noel. Lawson's career peaked with averages of 16.4 points and 8.0 assists during a four-year span before he struggled and continued his career overseas.
