1.) New Orleans Pelicans | Anthony Davis (actual slot: 1)
Davis was the clear-cut No. 1 pick coming out of Kentucky, and it's even more of a no-brainer now. He's coming off a season in which he averaged 24.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks. Davis has quickly become one of the elite players in the NBA -- and could be the league's best in time.
2.) Charlotte Hornets | Andre Drummond (9)
The Hornets needed just about everything, except for maybe a point guard. They went with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who is a terrific defender who brings toughness to the table. However, the pick here for Charlotte, in hindsight, should have been either Bradley Beal or Andre Drummond. We'll go with Drummond since he is coming off a season in which he averaged 12.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and nearly two blocks per game. Drummond is still scratching the surface of his potential, having just turned 21.
3.) Washington Wizards | Bradley Beal (3)
The Wizards took Beal three years ago and it was the correct call. Beal and Wall form one of the league's top young backcourts. Beal does a bit of everything -- he can shoot it, finish around the basket, pass, rebound for his position and also defend. The key for him is staying healthy.
4.) Cleveland Cavaliers | Damian Lillard (6)
Yes, I know the Cavs already have Kyrie Irving. However, it would be difficult to pass on Lillard. Both can really score, and Lillard is a terrific shooter as well. Sure, the backcourt would be small, but Lillard is the best player on the board. Clearly. Three years ago, former general manager Chris Grant went with Dion Waiters in a major reach.
5.) Sacramento Kings | Draymond Green (35)
The Kings wound up taking Thomas Robinson with this pick, and it did not work out. Green was taken 30 picks later, but he is the right call here. He's versatile, can play power forward and would pair well with DeMarcus Cousins up front, especially due to the fact that Green is one of the best defenders in the league.
6.) Portland Trail Blazers | Harrison Barnes (7)
The Blazers took the right guy back in 2012 with Lillard, but there's no way he would have gotten that far in a re-draft. Barnes was a key piece for a championship team this season and he will be able to show he can do more in the coming years. He's a wing with size who can shoot it, and he's also learned how to do the little things. He would have fit in well at the time with a group that included LaMarcus Aldridge and Wes Matthews.
7.) Golden State Warriors | Khris Middleton (39)
The Warriors took Barnes with this pick, and at the time they had a healthy David Lee to go along with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Middleton was drafted all the way down at 39 in the second round, but he averaged 13.4 points last season and has proven to be a big-time shooter/scorer.
There's no way Khris Middleton would drop to the second round if team's could redo the 2012 draft.
8.) Toronto Raptors | Terrence Ross (8)
The Raptors needed a big wing to go along with DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry and Ross was a high-flyer coming out of Washington. He's been solid thus far in his NBA career, and worthy of this pick again. Ross averaged 9.8 points per game and also shot a more than respectable 37 percent from beyond the arc last season.
9.) Detroit Pistons | Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (2)
The Pistons were fortunate that Drummond slipped here, but he'd be gone by now. With Greg Monroe and Brandon Knight, the Pistons could use a big-time wing who defends. MKG was a reach at No. 2, but he's ideal here because he does all the little things.
10.) New Orleans Pelicans | John Henson (14)
The Pelicans took Austin Rivers, and that didn't work out well -- although he seems to have found a home in Los Angeles with his dad. New Orleans had Anthony Davis, Ryan Anderson and Robin Lopez up front, with Eric Gordon and Greivis Vasquez in the backcourt. Lopez left the next season, so the best pick here would have been John Henson, who would give the team even more length up front.
11.) Portland Trail Blazers | Tyler Zeller (17)
The Blazers took Meyers Leonard with the pick, and that was a mistake. Zeller would have been a better selection: a big man who has improved and can really run the floor. Zeller wound up going 17th, and is coming off a season in which he averaged 10.2 points and 5.7 boards per game in Boston. He'd also would have allowed Aldrige to play the four spot.
12.) Houston Rockets | Terrence Jones (18)
Daryl Morey wound up grabbing Jones a half-dozen picks later at No. 18 and he's been solid, especially the past two seasons. Jones is a power forward who averaged 11.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per contest last season with the Rockets.
13.) Phoenix Suns | Jared Sullinger (21)
The Suns grabbed Kendall Marshall, and that didn't work out well for the organization. The choice comes down to Jared Sullinger, Dion Waiters and Austin Rivers. The Suns go with Sullinger here. When he's healthy, he's a tough matchup. Sully can score around the basket and also step away and make shots. He's averaged 13.3 points each of the last two seasons and back issues were what made him fall down to 21 on draft night.
14.) Milwaukee Bucks | Dion Waiters (4)
This is a tough call since the Bucks didn't really need another scoring guard, but Waiters and Rivers are the best on the board. Waiters has done more over the course of his career, averaging 14 points per game primarily with Cleveland and also with Oklahoma City for 47 games this past season.
