1.BOS - Ricardinho SF 6'7'' 215 20 A- D+ B C+ C- A
After TC: A- C- B B C- A
Can't argue with this pick. The man with one name had a fairly productive TC. Boston gets a stud here, there's no doubt about that. But I'm still not solid that Ricardinho will be that franchise player. His offensive game is a question mark because scouts believe he relies to much on his jumping and not enough on his shot.
2. LVR - Alastair De Groot PF 7'1'' 230 20 B- C- C B+ C+ A
After TC: B- C- C A- B- A
I liked this pick on draft day, but now we've seen TC/preseason, I bet play is regretting this pick a little. Will De Groot just be another Tyrus Thomas or Anthony Randolph? Or can he improve his offense and rebounding and become a big time threat. It's too early to tell right now.
3. TOR - Eduardo Bueno C 7'2 240 20 B- B C B B- B
After TC: B B+ C B+ B B
Bueno pick by the raptors right here. There were questions if Bueno would be your typical white-foreign-sick shooting-flopping-raw-7foot center OR if he could be the next Dirk/Chiriaev. Eduardo will have a bueno career in BBS, some argue he should have been the #1 pick.
4. DAL - Kareem Joffer PF 6'11'' 221 19 B D C C+ B- A
After TC: B+ D C B B A
Another play that could(and perhaps should) have gone #1 or #2. Joffer had a great first TC. The scariest part is that he's only 19 with tons of room left to grow. He may be the best player to come out of this draft. Great pick for chris.
5. ATL (formerly MEM)- FORFEITED
6. POR - Rob York C 7'1'' 254 21 C D+ C- B B A
After TC: C C- C- B+ B A
I think a TC like Rob had was expected. His defense/rebounding is the vocal point of his game. If Rob turns out to be C+ C- C- A A-, then I think Dan comes out strong with this pick.
7. PHO - Ricky Machata PG 6'5'' 185 19 C B+ B C C A
After TC: C+ A- B- C+ C- A
IMO blue should have given me him and Jatoba for Dwight. Not an awful TC, but at the same time, nothing great. Mediocre first TC, but there's still room to grow.
8. UTA - Taven Whitehorse SG 6'4'' 195 19 B- B C C+ C- A
After TC: C+ B C+ C+ C- A
Meh, I didn't like Whitehorse before the draft. And I still don't like him. Bad TC. As Ernie Kent would say, "He's still young, he will make mistakes. He'll get better." But he, nor the team, will ever get better.
9. MEM (formerly ATL)- Action Jackson SF 6'7'' 205 21 B- C+ C B+ C B
After TC: B- C+ C A- C A
I hope he has a shitty career. Skillz tried to force him and Nocedal down my throat for Dwight.
10. NO - FORFEITED
11. WAS - Jordan Metcalf C 6'8'' 310 20 B- D+ D- C+ A- A (Auto'd)
After TC: B C- D C+ A- C
All those burgers are gonna end up hurting Jordan. A decent TC, but I doubt he'll get any better. He's gonna be like Glen Davis, without the outside game. Decent player, nothing great.
12. LVR - Marcus Bigelow PF 6'10'' 238 21 B C- C C A- B
After TC: B+ C- C C A A
Play with the steal of the draft? Perhaps. But that C defense is still pretty ugly. I want to see A C C C A+ C ratings so badly. It'd be interesting to see how he'd do with those ratings. But realistically, if Bigelow could improve that defense to B- or B, he'll be a stud.
13. LVR - Lucas Chambers SG 6'4'' 197 19 C+ B+ B- C+ C- B
After TC: C+ A- C+ C+ C- C
A good pick, then a shitty pick right afterwards. Typical of the draft gods. Lucas had an unproductive first TC, and that C scouted potential didn't make things any better. He could be declared a bust before he even plays a game.
After TC: A- C- B B C- A
