Hey guys for the first time I actually looked at film of every player in the draft. I created this thread to grade each player in ORDER of how good I think they are and who are the best available at their position. I have quite a few surprises. Feel free to grade each player or as many as you like IN ORDER of position. This thread was created to show the depth chart of best available for each position in order from best to worse at each position.

So 28 players have an A grade? Seems legit.

Lol not really a grade A. What I did was give them a grade A and put them in order of best to worse. The reason I gave them a grade A was incase I wanted to go back and watch something about them but just know that those A grades are in order from best to worse and not your standard grade of A.

The B grades are for players I did not think were worthy of viewing more film on as far as first rounders go but who I would highly consider for our second round picks. Remember the most telling part is that they are all listed in order by position from best to worse. The grades next to them just indicate who I would consider watching film on again, who has potential and who I would take in order, but the lowest grade A is not at the same level as the grade A that comes before it.

So in other words Aaron Holidays grade A is not the same as Tony Carrs grade A, He is the least rated grade A player on the depth chart for PG's. But he could be worthy of taking, and giving a second look at if we were to make a trade etc... before we look at obvious grade B players imo

Who the hell is Tony Carr? lmao. Not saying he can't be good, but if you're saying his worst case is Teague, that's guaranteeing him being a starter caliber player.

Updated lists. (none of my critiqued players were updated) so I didn't want you to think I ran and updated those. I am fairly comfortable with the selections. The only players I wanted to change (which I meant to change last night) are three. I wanted to move Jalen Brunson up 1 spot and Yante Maten Kelan Martin each up two spots and rate them as A players. Thats it. But everything else I am comfortable with.

The only question I have about my lists is ranking sexton so low because he is just too raw for me. He has potential tho and I am sure will end up better than some on this list. but other than that I like this list a lot.

yes. great size at 6-5. can shoot, change speeds, improved significantly after his first season. I went out on a limb with these selections but I did so not just aiming to do that but I genuinely believe these are the best available in order of talent from best to worst.

I am not saying you don't believe this list to be true just the difference in that portion on the list vs what literally everyone else has said is shocking to me. A few differences here or there in some of them but that list almost looks backwards from what someone would expect.

Lmao I know. I was shocked at the potential talent in this draft. It is freakin deep as hell. I saw so many overlooked players. I never went out on a limb like this but I actually believe these are the best available. This is one of the best drafts I have ever seen.
Players I really like are - Carr, hutchison,
star watch is hutchison
steals - tony carr, newman, maten and I like the martin twins

Hi guys I know I said last update but I made a slight mistake with CALEB and CODY. I kinda mixed up their highlights (they are twins) and I think I overrated CALEB just a bit. I have updated my list. The only changes were made to the SG section of the list. All other sections are ride or die including the SG section now. When I noticed I overrated CALEB I looked at a few other players there in the SG section and swapped a few around. I like Malik Newman and Jerome Robinson way too much to just just let it slide lol. My list is still a reach I know but I truly like this list for some reason.
So this is my LAST UPDATE to this list. This is my ride or DIE. No more updates. (I only did so because of the TWINS mistake)
PG
A - TONY CARR - best PG easy. D Lillard, Penny Hardaway type potential imo. Not saying he will reach it but I see it.
A - Cody Martin
A - Devonte Graham - Could be a steal
A - Jalen Brunson - Gonna be good
A - ELIE OKOBO
A - Aaron Holiday
B - JOEL BERRY - a warrior
B - D'ANTHONY MELTON
B - Trae Young
B - Keenan Evans
B - Jevon Carter
B - Trevon Duval
B - anfernee simons
B - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
B - Shake Milton
B - Josh Okogie
C - Collin Sexton
SG
A - Chandler Hutchison - Second most talented in the draft, maybe the most. Reminds me of Scottie Pippen just a bit.
A - Malik Newman - could be the steal and has lottery talent
A - Jerome Robinson - enforcer. JR Smith type player (when JR is playing well)
A - Sviatoslav Mykha
A - Donte DiVincenzo - veteran as a rookie
B - Bruce Brown
B - THEO PINSON - underated player who has all around game
B - Caleb Martin
B - Gary Trent Jr.
B - Landry Shamet
B - Zhaire Smith
B - GRAYSEN ALLEN
B - Khyri Thomas
B - hamidou diallo
C - troy brown

A - Jacob Evans
B - Kenrich Williams

You are 1 million percent right. After reviewing him not only am I moving him up on my list but I now have him number 2 after hutchinson. What happened is this year I attempted to rate each and every player and did so fairly fast. When doing that, you can and will miss a lot. My list has changed overnight actually. I will post my new list in a few minutes. I wanted to try something NEW and rate all the players. I think I have done a fairly good job for the most part. I appreciate your input on Lonnie Walker

Hi guys. Overnight I have made some changes to my depth chart. For some odd reason I Underrated Lonnie Walker. Thanks
to you guys great basketball knowledge on this forum it was brought to my attention. I also think I overrated Michael Porter
and Mikal. I think when they match up to Miles he beats them in every category and hes younger than Mikal by two years.
