14. Los Angeles Clippers - Darian Norris
C+ D+ D- B C+ A
C D+ D B+ C+ B
Definite role player type for Galo, it sucks to see his potential go down after 1 TC.
15. Atlanta Hawks - Deion Mashburn
B C C C+ C A
B+ C C B C A
Took leaps and bounds in TC. Up in scoring and 2 up in defense, will be a nice role player for Ebener.
16. Los Angeles Lakers - Teddy Morris
C+ A- C- B- C B
B- A- C C+ C B
This a tough tradeoff for a SG, but he was looking more like a role player for Nanz than anything. With Ross, Davidson, and Carrington, he will get limited minutes, if any.
17. Detroit Pistons - Kenyon Mack
C+ C+ B+ B+ C C
B- C+ B+ B+ C C
With players this late in the draft, any increase is a good increase. However, this guy will see limited minutes on a team with Tyreke Evans and Rodrigue Beaubois.
18. Utah Jazz - Josh Ramsey
C+ C C B C A
C+ C C B C A
No change for this guy, should be a nice backup type. Still has his A potential, so something could happen.
19. Houston Rockets - Ivan Lando
C B- B B D+ B
C B- B+ B D+ B
An increase in handles helps Lando's stock here, as he will be the backup to Austin Daye in Houston.
20. Miami Heat - Pierre Lavoie
B C C+ B C+ B
B+ C+ C+ A- C+ C
Should be a very nice piece in the Nuggets rebuild. Could turn into a scoring machine, although its tough to see that happening with C potential.
21. Detroit Pistons - Darrion Styles
B- B- B- B- C C
C+ B- B- B- C+ C
The "jack-of-all-trades" of this draft, he just jacked himself to the bench, where I doubt he will see any playing time.
22. Denver Nuggets - Otto Koehler
C+ C- D+ B B B
C+ C- D+ B B- B
A tough TC for a guy like this, he just hurt his stock a bunch. However, he still maintains his potential, so who knows.
23. Detroit Pistons - Caesar Holmes
C+ C+ C B+ C A
C+ C+ C+ A- C B
This guy had a decent TC, and could possibly see some playing time in Detroit. Better than any of Jay's other picks.
24. Houston Rockets - Jeremiah Gress
B+ B- B- C C+ C
B+ B B C C+ B
Spencer has hinted to this guy being the steal of the draft with crazy potential. We'll have to wait and see if this is the case.
25. Minnesota Timberwolves - Jacquez Mercier
B B+ C C D+ C
B A- C+ C D+ C
The 'alleged' steal of the draft, he had an alright TC. Should provide some bench scoring for the rising TWolves.
26. Atlanta Hawks - Dominic Maxwell
C+ B+ C C C B
C+ A- C C C B
Up in outside makes him look decent at this pick. However, JB will need much more than this to make his 40 this year.
27. Toronto Raptors - Terrell Watts
C B A- C D B
C B+ A C+ D+ A
My choice as of now for the steal of the draft. He improved in almost every way imaginable.
28. Atlanta Hawks - Albie Barros
C C- C B- B- B
C+ C- D+ B+ C+ C
Had a very strange TC. Went up a lot in some places (defense, inside scoring) and down a lot in some places (handles, rebounding, potential).
29. Minnesota Timberwolves - Kevin Ruffin
C+ C- D+ B+ C+ C
B- C- D+ B+ C+ B
Its always nice to see players at this late in the draft increase while also raising their potential.
