Tyrese Haliburton, initially selected 12th in the 2020 NBA Draft, might have had a different fate had the Golden State Warriors picked him instead of James Wiseman. The thought of Haliburton sharing the court with Steph Curry could have reshaped the Warriors' trajectory. Other notable mentions in a hypothetical re-draft include Anthony Edwards going first and Tyrese Maxey rising significantly in the ranks. The draft's complexity was influenced heavily by pandemic restrictions, leading to unexpected outcomes, including various players' current performance levels not aligning with their original selections.

This retrospective is especially relevant for fantasy players, as evaluating player rankings and performance can significantly impact roster decisions. The Pacers' current roster, including Haliburton, Aaron Nesmith, and at one point James Wiseman, reflects the varying paths these players have taken since their draft.
