I'm bored so why not do this!!!! I've never done this type of article so LOL lets see how it goes! ALSO! no A+ given out! This aint HS you freaks!
1. Los Angeles Clippers - Anthony Davis PF 6'10'' 220 19 B C- D+ B+ C+ A
Anthony Davis PF 19 6'10'' 220 B+ C- D+ A- B A
Grade: A
The Clippers made the smart choice and it paid off. This guy probably had the best TC in the league and even Broph was shocked at how good he was already. Up inside and defense is up 2 in rebounding. Are these just good looking ratings? Nope he is putting up numbers. Pre-Season…
Anthony Davis PF 16 34.0 21.4 10.6 1.8 1.1 1.8 0.8 .502 .767 .000
21 points and 2 blocks on 50% shooting… yeah this was the right pick. This pick gets an A easy not an A+ just because to me it was the obvious pick.
2. New Orleans Hornets - Andre Drummond C 6'10'' 270 18 B+ D- F+ C+ B+ A
Andre Drummond C 18 6'10'' 270 A- D F+ B- A- A
Grade: A-
I think we can all agree that the top 2 picks in this draft were the easiest picks in the draft. After Davis this is the obvious choice. Up inside up outside up D and up rebounding. I mean this guy is just a beast. His %s are pretty meh but he is just a rookie… not everyone can be Davis LOL. His blocks are great and should only get better. Pretty easy to say that the first two picks were the right ones and it should be fun comparing Andre and Davis for the rest of their careers. I give them an A- mainly because after Davis this was the pick no matter what.
3. Memphis Grizzlies - Bradley Beal SG 6'3'' 207 19 C+ B+ B- C+ C- A
Bradley Beal SG 19 6'3'' 207 B- A- B- C+ C- B
Grade: B
The Grizz here made a solid choice on draft day and they get themselves a good player. His TC was nothing special: Up inside and up outside. I mean he is supposed to be a scorer so that’s good but losing his scouting potential is pretty meh. He still has the chance to become a good two way player but I don’t know. The main reason I gave this a B is because of the next guy on the list LOL.
4. Boston Celtics - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist SF 6'7'' 205 19 B- C C A B- A
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist PF 19 6'7'' 205 B C C A B A
Grade: A-
Boston got themselves a stud IMO. His ratings here at PF because if I had him I would love to play him there . 14 and 13 in preseason is fucking awesome. 1 steal and 2 blocks already! This kidd LOL is gonna be awesome. His offense is a question but his inside and rebounding went up and that is awesome if you are looking to become a PF. I would have drafted this guy 3rd without a doubt so DWB gets an A-. Just like the Drummond pick he doesn’t get an A because MKG after Beal being taken is the obvious choice.
5. Washington Wizards - Damian Lillard PG 6'2'' 190 21 C+ A- B- C- D+ A
Damian Lillard PG 21 6'2'' 190 C+ A- B- C D+ A
Grade: B+
Lillard’s TC was nothing special but he did go up in defense which is huge for him. Lillard didn’t start in the Pre-Season so we can’t really know what kind of numbers he will put up. In 12 minutes his rebounding and steals were not great at all. If he is not gonna get steals while having C defense is not great at all. Lillard was the pick here so can’t go lower than a B+ but the Wizards were expecting more than this for his TC. He still has a ton of room to grow so no need to panic but a better TC would have been hot.
6. Los Angeles Lakers - Harrison Barnes SF 6'8'' 223 20 B- B- C- B- C A
Harrison Barnes SF 20 6'8'' 223 B- B+ C- B- C A
Grade: B
We got the man we were targeting and we are happy to have him. For this guy is tough to say how much he went up in TC just because I RC’d him 3 times LOL. HE went up 2 outside and that is that. Would have loved to see him going up a little more but for a first tc its all good. IF he has potential he should be a stud 2 way player but this first TC was meh. In pre-season he did up 50% from the outside but in the 60% from the FT line. He seems not to be a TO whore so that’s hot. Only reason I don’t give myself a higher grade is because of the RCs…. Wonder if he would have gone up at all if I didn’t RC him but I do love the way he looks like . He might be moving to the 2 so that’s hot.
7. Philadelphia 76ers - Meyers Leonard C 7'0'' 245 20 B- C F+ B- C A
Meyers Leonard PF 20 7'0'' 245 B- C D- B+ C B
Grade: C+
Man this bro did not have a good TC. I looked at him after being RC’d and I saw he actually went down inside from B which is not good. His defense went up 2 but nothing for his rebounding and that kills. Gis potential dropped so we don’t really know if he has what it takes to ever be a solid rebounder and that is a no no for a PF. Tough break for the 6ers but we are gonna have to see how this guy does next tc but it aint looking that good.
8. San Antonio Spurs - Thomas Robinson PF 6'9'' 240 21 C+ C- D C+ B A
Thomas Robinson PF 21 6'9'' 240 B- C- D+ B- B A
Grade: B+
This guy looks pretty hot. Steve needs to pour some points into him because he can become pretty awesome. Hard to compare these bigs to the 2 that were taking 1 and 2 but yeah solid tc for this fella. Up inside and up defense is pretty sweet. He did 1 block so maybe he can get to 2 which would be good. This guy with some work could easily become a 20 and 10 guy at least with a couple of blocks. Great fit for the Spurs.
9. Denver Nuggets - Terrance Ross SG 6'6'' 195 21 B- B C- B- C A
Grade: A-
Terrance Ross SG 21 6'6'' 195 B- A- C- B C B
This guy dropped to 9 but he had some really awesome notes and a really nice tc. Up 2 outside and one in defense. His scouting went down to B but he already looks pretty awesome. Jeff needs to put some points into this guy because he could become a superstar. We gotta wait and see if he has the potential to become a superstar but he already looks good. He didin’t play much in pre-season but he did manage to get a steal and block. Jeff will probably move him now that I remember he is in his CY year so he should be able to get him someone pretty damn nice.
10. Seattle Supersonics - Royce White PF 6'8'' 270 21 B- D+ B+ C B- B
Royce White PF 21 6'8'' 270 B- D+ B+ C+ B B
Grade: B
This guy is so intriguing. His notes were fun fun fun. Will the Sonics move him to point guard? Who knows! Up defense and rebounding but it seems he wont ever be a good defender or a stats defender. I really wanna see how he plays at the point so I hope he moves there. He needs points because I dotn think he has the potential left to become a superstar but regardless if he moves to the point he could be…
11. Phoenix Suns - Jared Sullinger C 6'9'' 280 20 C+ C D B- B+ B
Jared Sullinger C 20 6'9'' 280 C+ C D B+ A- A
Grade: A
Sweet pick by the suns. We all know that Skillz is gonna RC and AC him so he could become a stud. Up 2 defense and up rebounding… oh yeah and his scouted went up. He doesn’t seem to block shots which is sad but he has a sweet mid range shot so that’s awesome. Will he ever become a legit scoring threat? I don’t know but I think we will know this time next year. Pretty sweet pick up by skillz.
12. Milwaukee Bucks - Dion Waiters SG 6'4'' 210 20 C+ B B C D+ A
Dion Waiters SG 20 6'4'' 210 C+ B+ B- C D+ B
Grade: C+
The bucks were so excited that this guy dropped to them but it seems that he dropped for a reason LOL. Up outside but lost his potential. He looks like a meh pick right now. The bright side is that his %s in pre-season were pretty sexy. His defense I don’t think will ever be where it needs to be and his rebounding is gonna hurt. The pick made sense because he did drop but after TC he seems to be a scorer and that’s it. Bucks need to pump points into his offense and hope for the best.
13. Orlando Magic - Tony Wroten PG 6'5'' 205 19 B- C- B- B C B
Tony Wroten PG 19 6'5'' 205 B C- B- B+ C B
Grade: B+
Good pick by play here. I actually wanted to draft him at 15 but I didn’t get a chance to Up inside and defense this guy I think will be a solid point guard in the league and at 13 this is a good pick. This guy wont get to see playing time because Selby seems to be the real deal LOL. Hopefully Play sumps him to me PLEASE. Solid pick solid player should be a solid pro.
