You're listening to the Book of Basketball 2.0 podcast. This is the 2010

redraftables, which we did as part of a big summer of 2010 podcast that Ryan Ricillon I did.

My name is Bill Simmons. This is the Book of Basketball.

He's gonna do it. It's a Book of Basketball. Yeah, it's a Book of Basketball. Yeah, it's a Book of Basketball.

So we're gonna do the 2010 redraftables. You know, we talk about the bad drafts, the 2000,

you know, we did the 2006 one, it was really bad. 2010 doesn't get enough credit for

basketball situation in New Orleans playing with Anthony Davis blows out his ACL.

And then John Wall right when it seemed like he had a chance to put together a really fun

career as a meaningful guard. His knees start going on a mini and now he's probably the worst

contract in the league. That's my takeaway when I look at this draft. It's kind of weird. It's

like an injury. What if draft? What do you think? It's bad. It's way worse. Like I hadn't looked at

it in a while and you're going through it and you go, this is going to get ugly here at the end.

You know, you're just going to be taking guys. I mean, some of the metrics on this, like

Bealice is a top 15 in some of the advanced stats for this class. I mean, it's ridiculous. Like

what you're looking at here at the end. Gravis Vazquez ends up having one of the better careers.

And he was seven years in the league. And I was even sure if he was going to go in the first

round, he went at the end of the first round. So there's that part. And then, you know, it's
