The 2009 Draft Remembered

In response to widespread demand, the Records Division of the International Shoe Historical Society has teamed up with the International Shoe Blog to provide the following list of the draft picks of the 2009 draft (this was our first draft in Colorado). We used hand-written notes to piece this together and it is possible that a few of the final picks may have been omitted. Please note that the photos are from the 2011 draft. We also used "bold" to indicate picks which we felt were of particularly strong value.
