The Ringer’s Bill Simmons is joined by ESPN’s Zach Lowe to redraft the 2001 NBA draft for The Redraftables. They debate whether Pau Gasol or Tony Parker should go first overall and then explain how Gilbert Arenas was a precursor to James Harden. Finally, they go through the rest of a strong draft that includes Joe Johnson, Zach Randolph, Tyson Chandler, Jason Richardson, Shane Battier, and more.
