Re: What grade would you give your team for the Draft
Also, The Nets get a F for that 1 pick they made, and a B+ for trading for Cory Jefferson at 60. He's a steal. So I guess C- for them, too.

Re: What grade would you give your team for the Draft
Overall this was a very DEEP draft. I don't think it's filled with stars, but plenty of rotation guys who play 10 or more years in the league.

Re: What grade would you give your team for the Draft
Sixers : Depends
Its a B+ big picture
Its a C- short term
Its a D if Embiid is never healthy
F if Exum is a star

Re: What grade would you give your team for the Draft
We got a small forward with a 7'7 wingspan, so A++

So it's a steal with McGary, Jordan Adams, Hood, Napier, Hairston, Bogdanovic, and KJ McDaniels on the board? I just don't see it. Maybe you could pick him at around #45-50, but #20? Nobody was picking that guy!!

Re: What grade would you give your team for the Draft
Nuggets A+, the Nuggets trade down get the 2 of the 3 guys they were reported to have wanted prior to the draft, they dump Randolph, pick up a future prospect, and pick up a very good draft and stash 19 year old center that was projected late 1st before there was some confusion on whether he had withdrawn from the draft or not.

By far the best draft in the Bobcats (Hornets) history. Great work.

Re: What grade would you give your team for the Draft
I think people are being overly harsh on Orlando. If they take Exum at 4 then the big or wing prospects at 12 were really limited for them. I get going big with 4 and then grabbing a point guard later. Not sure Gordon was the answer though. May look back and think Randle should've been the guy.
Denver did well. Both guys should be players down the road.
It was nice for Miami to be able to get Shabazz Napier without having to give up Norris Cole. Most likely means they're set at point going forward. I like Cole more than some and think he's a good energy guy off the bench. Mario Chalmers is probably not coming back.
Utah getting Exum and Rodney Hood was pretty great considering both guys looked to go higher than they did.
I didn't like Minnesota taking Zach LaVine with a lot of other good prospects on the board. I would be surprised if that guy ever makes it. Has great athleticism, but I'd say its less than 50/50 he becomes a real player.
OKC didn't seem to help themselves at all. I thought all of Napier, Hood, PJ Hairston and CJ Wilcox would've made a lot of sense there. Not really sure they need another lumbering big. Doubtful they got anyone that will give them anything significant next season.

Sixers had the best draft of the night. They took a flyer on Embiid, but drafted very SOLID everywhere else. They had a TON of picks, and every pick was a good pick for it's spot. I am not a Sixers fan whatsoever, and I have been highly critical of them over the past few years, and questioned a lot of their draft moves last season, but Carter-Williams proved to be a very good player, and I think Noel will be great too.
Who is gonna score on a Embiid/Noel/Young frontcourt???

BC will wreck all of em in the summer league. the bolded will end up as starters years from now but for the rest of the players you have mentioned will be role players or playing in europe 4 years from now.

Yup. He's working on his visa and will be in Tdot tommorow. He will work out with the coaches in LA and will also meet up with Demar, Amir, and Ross. As a raptor fan im super excited.

Reports are coming out that Phoenix and Utah were rumored to be looking into him at 23rd and 27th.

Re: What grade would you give your team for the Draft
Nets: F
i like that we bought 3 second rounders with the 2 million we had and took a flier on some athletes who play hard since we lack athleticism and have effort inconsistencies
but for me, the nets #1 goal tonite was to unload lopez. we failed to do that. enormous disappointment for me

Well then, maybe I am wrong about the kid. I hope so. Toronto could use another good player. I really hoped all this time that something magical would happen and Andrew Wiggins would end up a Raptor. I still believe the 1st chance Wiggins gets, he will sign as a FA in Toronto.

Bogdanovic could be a star in this league, I think the sky is the limit for him.
Hood, Napier, and KJ McDaniels I think will all have long careers. Hood has a lot of talent, Napier will be a rotation PG for a long time, and I think McDaniels has serious potential as a defensive player.
Jordan Adams could be the 1 terrible guy I named, not very high on him, at all, but he's still a decent prospect.
Mitch McGary could end up being a scrub, but I don't think so. I think he will impact a team much like Nick Collison, Hansbrough, Jeff Foster did, and will have a very long career.
All in all, I could be very wrong about Bruno. I thought Bill Simmons was an **** for treating their pick like that. Reminded me when the Knicks picked Renaldo Balkman & the time that Danilo Gallinari got boo'd in the Garden. I know Balkman was a bad pick over Rondo, but I always thought Gallo was a very solid pick, and didn't deserve the treatment he got on draft night.
Let's hope for the Raptors that Ujiri sees a stud!!!

Those were seriously my 2 favorite players in the draft...I could find quotes of me actually saying that on this site, but I'm too lazy. I LOVED y'all's draft
When Hairston lasted to us at 25 I was so mad because i knew we would either trade the pick or take a eurostash and all along he was the player I wanted the rockets to draft at 25

Re: What grade would you give your team for the Draft
I asked everybody on the Knicks forum to help me make a list of undrafted guys, but nobody wanted to help, so I tried to create my own. I didn't add positions or what schools these guys were from, because I was in a hurry. But if anybody wants to add positions & schools to the list, please do. Also tell me if any of these are incorrect, if they went back to college, or if they were drafted, and I somehow missed it. I am not very sure. Also, I left out a lot of the international players.
