1 Orlando Magic - Percy Jackson SF 6'10'' 225 20
BEFORE: B- C+ D+ B- C+ A
AFTER: B B C- B C A
As Commish Spencer promised, Percy Jackson will be an immediate stud. A pretty sick first TC for Percy, and I expect a lot more like this in the future. Magic get their guy and get an A+.
GRADE: A+
Detroit Pistons (from Clippers) - Deon Price SG 6'4'' 225 20
BEFORE: B B- C B- C A
AFTER: B+ B- C B- C A
Not the best TC, but very solid starting ratings for a 20 year old rookie. The pistons had a ridiculously nice TC, so they can live with just an alright first TC.
GRADE: B+
3 San Antonio Spurs - Byron Gill PG 6'0'' 180 21
BEFORE: C B+ B- C D+ A
AFTER: C B+ B+ C+ C- A
Great TC for Gill. He certainly made a case for 'I should have been taken 2nd.' Unfortunately for Gill, he's going to be behind Skoals for the time being. With the spurs lack of talented forwards, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a move for one to clear up the PG spot for Gill.
GRADE: A-
4 Indiana Pacers - Theo Smith PF 6'11'' 240 20
BEFORE: C+ C D+ B B- A
AFTER: B- C C- B+ B- B
I'm not digging this pick a whole lot for the Pacers. Sure if I were them, I probably would have made the same choice. But I'm starting to prefer Clayton right now. And you could make a case for the small/skinny center Edwards . Pacers still get a solid player, but I'm a little worried he may just be a decent role player in the future. Trading down might have been a better idea here.
GRADE: B
5 Memphis Grizzlies - Oscar Wright SF 6'9'' 222 22
BEFORE: B- B+ B- B C+ B
AFTER: B- A- B- B C B
Grizzlies knew when they picked Oscar Wright, there would be a question mark about his development. A gain in outside and a drop in rebounding isn't bad for this BBS ready rookie. But Memphis may regret not taking one of the next two players picked after him.
GRADE: C+
6 Miami Heat - FORFEIT
way too go..
GRADE: F%
7 Seattle SuperSonics (from Trail Blazers) - Kenyon McMillan PG 6'5'' 200 19
BEFORE: B- C C+ B+ C A
AFTER: B C C+ A- C A
I love McMillan, I wish he was on my team. I really like this pick for the sonics, and I think Kenyon will be a pretty damn good player when it's all said and done. His offense is going to need work, but I like his start.
GRADE: A-
8 San Antonio Spurs (from Bulls) - Keyon Clayton C 6'11'' 220 22
BEFORE: B- D+ D C+ C+ A
AFTER: B D+ D C+ B- A
This is a much better second pick for the Spurs. Clayton's pre draft workouts/camps proved the type of potential he had. Spurs decided to make the call and go with the raw 6'11" big man. Clayton is going to be a good player, there's no doubt about that... It's just going to take some time.
GRADE: A-
9 Atlanta Hawks - Reggie Taylor SF 6'8'' 230 20
BEFORE: B+ C+ C B- C+ B
AFTER: B+ C+ C+ B- C+ C
My sister closed my browser on accident when she was trying to print shit off, so all the text from picks 9 to 13 were lost. So screw this, I'm writing quick n short. Meh I guess he looks alright right now, but I'm not feeling this pick. I'm not a big fan of rebuilding teams drafting guys with limited potential. However, A few nice TCs from Reggie Taylor would quickly change my mind.
GRADE: B-
10 Orlando Magic (from Mavericks) - Tyson Edwards C 6'9'' 226 22
BEFORE: B- C- C- B C+ B
AFTER: B- C- C- B+ C+ B
I actually was hoping to draft Tyson Edwards, but I ended up getting Gage Hill. Hill is starting to look like the better pick, but I still like Edwards, and I think he can be a defensive force in this league.
GRADE: B
11 Denver Nuggets - Gage Hill PG 6'0'' 210 22
BEFORE: B C B B C B
AFTER: B+ C B A- C C
Screw you guys. Gage is the shit (for now). Pretty nice TC, but I'm still concerned about his game. If he can limit his turnovers, then I'm loving this pick, otherwise he's up for trade. Holla.
GRADE: A-
12 Miami Heat (from Hornets) - Tyson Barber SF 6'8'' 235 22
B+ B C C C+ B
B+ B C C+ C+ B
Barber is just as hot as Taylor right now. Barber has a little more scoring, and Taylor has more versatility and probably better D. Considering Heat had to forfeit their #6 pick, coming away with someone like Barber isn't too shabby.
GRADE: B
13 Dallas Mavericks (from Knicks) - Cortez Wilson SF 6'8'' 225 22
BEFORE: C+ B C+ B C+ B
AFTER: B- B+ C+ B+ C+ B
Cortez is starting to look like one of the best players in this draft. This could be the steal of the century for the Mavs if Wilson lives up to the early hype.
