Kobe, Nash, or Iverson: 1996 NBA Redraft

Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo redraft the top 14 picks from one of the best drafts in NBA history

By Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo

In the first installment of The Ringer’s NBA Redraftables, Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo redraft the historic 1996 NBA draft. While Kobe Bryant is the obvious first selection, there’s a lot of debate over where Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, and Ray Allen belong. Simmons and Russillo parse that and continue to draft the top 14 players from one of the best drafts in NBA history.

Thanks to Graeme Abernethy for the name suggestion.
