1 - Detroit Pistons - Harrison Barnes SG 6'8'' 215 22 B+ B C- B+ C+ B
Barnes will step right in and be the man for the Pistons. Pistons now have a solid core of Barnes, Tomas, and Gaddy. Barnes should be a great fit in Detroit.
Grade: A
2 - Washington Bullets - Marquis Teague PG 6'2'' 180 21 B- B+ B- B- C- B
Bullets had to go with a PG here and Teague is arguably the best in the draft. Teague should also step right in and contribute for the Bullets. I predict Teague will bring home rookie of the year honors.
Grade: A-
3 - Memphis Grizzlies - Terrence Jones PF 6'9'' 210 22 B- C+ C B- C A
I think there were better players available for the Grizz instead of Jones. Jones is still very raw at the age of 22. Not sure why the Grizz didn't go with more UOSLR ready players in Christmas or McCallum
Grade: C-
4 - Los Angeles Clippers- Rakeem Christmas C 6'9'' 230 22 B C- C- B- B- B
Love the selection of Christmas. Christmas will step right in and start for the Clippers.
Grade: A
5 - Utah Jazz- Jereme Richmond SF 6'7'' 220 22 B C D+ B+ C+ B
Wow Prince actually showed up to a draft!! Richmond was the best player left on the board IMO. Excellent selection for the Jazz.
Grade: A-
6 - Los Angeles Clippers- Vander Blue SG 6'3'' 185 21 B C- D+ B C B
Crazymike fucked up and didn't send in a list for his picks. Blue went a little early here. But he was requested for workouts more then any other player during draft workouts. He would have been off the board pretty soon regardless.
Grade: B
7 - Phoenix Suns- Marcus Paige PG 6'3'' 182 19 C+ C+ C+ C+ C A
Not a fan of this selection with Ray McCallum still on the board. Suns decided to take a chance on potential. I can't blame them but there was a better player available.
Grade: C+
8 - Toronto Raptors- Ray McCallum PG 6'1'' 185 21 C+ C+ B+ B- D B
Saga gets pretty lucky here. McCallum could've went early as #2. Raptors get a point guard who should start for the next decade.
Grade: A
9 - Cleveland Cavaliers- Tornike Shengelia SF 6'9'' 210 17 C+ C+ C+ C+ C+ A
I was a fan of McAdoo at this pick but knowing Styro of course he would take the chance on the guy with A scouted potential. Decent pick.
Grade: B-
10 - Charlotte Hornets- James McAdoo PF 6'8'' 205 21 B- C- C- B- B- B
Love the selection. Hornets fill their need at PF. McAdoo is a bit undersized but with Zeke Marshall up front he should be fine.
Grade: B+
11 - Philadelphia 76ers - Ian Miller PG 6'2'' 180 22 B- B C C+ D+ B
TMac was lucky that Miller was still around. Good pick, should start right away for the Sixers.
Grade: B+
12 - San Antonio Spurs - Jalen Kendrick SF 6'7'' 200 21 B- C B C+ C B
Spurs were in a tough position at this pick, Kendrick is solid and should be a solid backup for the Spurs this upcoming season.
13 - Milwaukee Bucks- Doron Lamb SG 6'4'' 180 22 C B+ C B D+ B
Can't believe the Bucks passed on Harrow. Lamb is solid but they really needed a PG with SJax retiring.
Grade: D+
14 - Denver Nuggets- Jordan Sibert SG 6'6'' 200 22 B- B- B+ C C C
Sibert will step in and help immediately. Potential 6th man of the year candidate.
Grade: B
15 - Chicago Bulls- Ryan Harrow PG 5'11'' 165 22 C+ B- B- C+ D+ B
Bulls were fortunate enough that a player of Harrow's caliber was still available at #15. Depending on training camp Harrow could step in and start right away in Chicago.
Grade: A-
16 - Atlanta Hawks - Terrence Ross SG 6'5'' 195 22 C+ B+ C- C C- B
Hawks add another explosive scorer to their offense.
Grade: B
17 - Denver Nuggets - Gorgui Dieng C 6'10'' 210 22 C C- D+ B B- B
Another good selection for the Nuggets. Dieng is an excellent shot blocker, which will probably get him on the court early on.
Grade: B
18 - Utah Jazz - Jayvaughn Pinkston PF 6'6'' 220 22 B- C C- C+ B B
I still can't believe Prince showed up to the draft and selected 2 quality players.
Grade: B+
19 - Memphis Grizzlies-Trey Zeigler SG 6'5'' 195 22 C+ B- C B C- B
It sucks when the #19 player selected is almost good as the player selected at #3.
Grade: B
20 - Los Angeles Clippers- DeShaun Thomas PF 6'7'' 215 22 B C+ D+ C+ C B
Thomas had a very disappointing career at Ohio State. Hopefully he's suited more for the pro game
Grade: B-
21 - Phoenix Suns- Dion Waiters SG 6'3'' 220 22 B+ C D+ C+ D B
Another team who's 2nd selection in the first round is better then their first selection.
Grade: B+
22 - Seattle Supersonics- Kyle Wiltjer PF 6'9'' 225 21 C B+ C- C C A
Solid selection at this point.
Grade: B
23 - Los Angeles Lakers- Jordan McRae SG 6'5'' 185 22 C+ B C- A- C- C
McRae should contribute right away with his amazing defense.
Grade: A-
24 - Washington Bullets- Cameron Clark SF 6'7'' 180 22 C B- D C+ C+ B
?
Grade: B
25 - Philadelphia 76ers- Casey Prather SF 6'6'' 190 22 C C C A- C+ B
Prather is the best ball thief in the draft.
Grade: B+
26 - Memphis Grizzlies- Roscoe Smith SF 6'8'' 210 21 C+ C+ C- B- C B
Another SF. Nice!!
Grade: C
27 - Phoenix Suns- Damontre Harris C 6'10'' 215 22 C+ C- C- B- C A
Potential, Potential, Potential!!
Grade: C+
28 - Indiana Pacers- Travis Mckie SF 6'7'' 190 22 C B+ C- B- B- C
Good pickup.
Grade: B-
29 - Washington Bullets- Josh Huestis SF 6'7'' 230 23 C+ D+ D+ C+ B+ C
Huestis can possibly see sometime at PF as well
Grade: B-
