New York Knicks
First Round
1-New York Knicks - Benard Sullivan PF 6'9'' 250 22 B+ C- D+ C+ B- A
Benard Sullivan PF 22 6'9'' 250 B+ C- D+ C+ B- A
2nd Round
6- Knicks - Christian Thomas PG 6'1'' 193 22 C C+ C+ B- D+ B (CUT)
My Take - The main part of the Knicks draft was Sullivan, who was expected to go either #1 or #2. Although TC wasn't nice to him, this was a solid pick and he looks to become great in UOSL4
Grade: B+
Los Angelos Clippers
First Round
2-Los Angelos Clippers - Donovan Reid SG 6'7'' 210 22 B- B- C A- C A
Donovan Reid SG 22 6'7'' 210 C+ B- C A C A
Second Round
N/A
My Take - Some considered Reid to have a shot at the #1 pick, but styro ended up drafting him. Solid value here @ #2. Offensively, he has a long way to go (check out preseason), but he has a bright future as a lock-down defender. Solid pick
Grade: B+
Phoenix Suns
First Round
3-Phoenix Suns - Damon Jackson PG 6'3'' 237 22 B+ C- B- C+ C+ A
Damon Jackson PG 22 6'3'' 237 B+ C B- C+ C+ A
29-Phoenix Suns - Derrick Marks SG 6'5'' 194 23 C B C C+ D A
Derrick Marks SG 23 6'5'' 194 C B+ C- B D B
Second Round
2- Phoenix Suns- Tyler Brunson SF 6'10'' 212 22 C C+ C- C+ D+ A
Tyler Brunson SF 22 6'10'' 212 C B- C- B D+ B
My Take- This looks like a great pick at #3, but you have to worry about the turnovers with Jackson. It looks like he may be a clone of Joe Jacksons. Those preseason stats have to be worrisome. Marks was a nice pickup with the 29th pick and Brunson also showed improvement. Good draft for the Suns
Grade: A- (B with Damon only)
Orlando Magic
First Round
4-Orlando Magic - Seth Hinrich PF 6'11'' 265 22 B C C B- C+ A
Seth Hinrich SF 22 6'11'' 265 B C C B B- B
Second Round
2- Orlando Magic- Reggie Crawford SF 6'10'' 212 22 C+ C C- B C- A
Reggie Crawford SF 22 6'10'' 212 C C+ C- B- C- B
My Take- I actually like this quite a bit for the Magic. Hinrich is a do-it-all SF and put up a nice TC. If he continues to develop, he could be scary.
Grade: A-
New Jersey Nets
First Round
5-New Jersey Nets - Alonzo Verge PG 6'1'' 195 22 C B- B- B- C- A
Alonzo Verge PG 22 6'1'' 195 C B B B- D+ A
8-New Jersey Nets - Cade McKnight SF 6'10'' 223 21 B B B D B A
Cade McKnight SF 21 6'10'' 223 B B B D B A
Second Round
N/A
My Take - I'm honestly not that high on Verge so that's why this is a lower grade. He has shown progression, he just looks like he could be the typical backup PG iwth C B+ B+ B+ ratings. Of course, it's much to early to say what I'm saying, but I don't like him. Cade will be a great offensive player no doubt, but you will never win with a D defender on your team. Meh
Grade: B-
Charlotte Bobcats
First Round
6-Charlotte Bobcats - George Dixon SF 6'8'' 217 22 B B- C C+ C+ A
George Dixon SF 22 6'8'' 217 B B C C+ C+ B
21-Charlotte Bobcats - Max Hooper SG 6'4'' 212 21 C A- C+ C+ C B
Max Hooper SG 21 6'4'' 212 C A- C+ C+ C B
Second Round
7-Charlotte Bobcats-Tekele Cotton PG 6'0'' 191 21 C C A C C C
Tekele Cotton PG 21 6'0'' 191 C C A C C C
My Take - I like this pick of George Dixon at #6. He has a nice offensive game and proved to be very efficient in the preseason. I like his game a lot. Hooper was also a solid pick. Good shooter, handler, and rebounder for a SG. He could develop into a starter if the right work is put into him. Good luck, greggor
Grade: A
Detroit Pistons
First Round
7-Detroit Pistons - Filp Najev
Second Round
17-Detroit Pistons -Donald Gaddy PG 6'0'' 175 20 C- B- C- C+ C- B
Donald Gaddy PG 20 6'0'' 175 C- C+ C C+ C- C
My Take - Flip is a complete question mark. I think 7 is right about where he should have gone. If I had to I'd give the Pistons a B, but that could change real quick. Gaddy. lol
Grade: ?
San Antonion Spurs
First Round
9-San Antonion Spurs- Issac Freeman PF 6'9'' 227 22 C+ B D+ C+ B- A
Issac Freeman PF 22 6'9'' 227 C+ B- D C+ B- B
22-San Antonion Spurs- Malcolm Miller PF 6'11'' 260 22 B D+ C C+ A- B
Malcolm Miller PF 22 6'11'' 260 B D+ C+ C+ A- A
Second Round
9-San Antonion Spurs- Jordan Johnson PG 6'1'' 181 22 C+ C+ C+ A- D+ C
Jordan Johnson PG 22 6'1'' 181 C+ C+ B- A- C- D
My Take - Yikes! Looks like Freeman is a bust although the Spurs made up for the bad pick with a steal at #22 with Malcolm Miller. Miller looked to be UOSL4 ready coming into the draft and has shown his willingness to improve in TC. Miller won POTM in the preseason and looks to contribute right away for the Spurs. Awful and great picks in one.
Grade: A- (A+ w/o Freeman)
OKC Thunder
First Round
11-OKC Thunder -Jim Marose C 7'2'' 243 22 B- D+ D+ A- C+ B
Jim Marose C 22 7'2'' 243 C+ D+ D A- C+ A
13-OKC Thunder - Terrance Lewis SF 6'6'' 198 22 B D C+ B+ C+ A
Terrance Lewis SF 22 6'6'' 198 B+ D+ C A- B- A
23-OKC Thunder - Terrell Brown SG 6'5'' 219 19 B C+ C+ B- C B
Terrell Brown SG 19 6'5'' 219 B C C+ B- C B
26-OKC Thunder - Pat Forsythe C 6'11'' 308 19 C+ C C- C+ C+ A
Pat Forsythe C 19 6'11'' 308 C+ C D+ B- C+ B
Second Round
N/A
My Take - Marose dropped in 2 categories, but you gotta love what he provides defensively. How T. Lewis dropped all the way to #13 is beyon me. Great ratings/notes, but can he turn that into production? We'll see. I like the picks of Marose/Lewis, but Brown/Pat's contracts may hurt a little.
Grade: B
Denver Nuggets
First Round
11-Denver Nuggets - Nojel Eastern SF 6'7'' 243 18 B- A- C C+ C- B
Second Round
5-Denver Nuggets- Daniel Sapp SG 6'5'' 216 21 C C+ B- B D+ B
Daniel Sapp SG 21 6'5'' 216 C B B- B+ D+ A
My Take - Sapp was the major steal of the 2nd round but they didn't EXTEND HIM! Nonetheless it was a great draft pick although you gotta blame the Nuggets for a huge mistake. I love Eastern at #11. He's already a good/great scorer at only 18. Put some work into him and he could become a star.
Grade: A(+)
Dallas Mavericks
First round
14-Dallas Mavericks - Michael Holyfield C 6'10'' 247 22 B- C+ D+ B+ B- B
Michael Holyfield C 22 6'10'' 247 B C+ D+ B+ B C
Second Round
N/A
My Take - This deep was pretty deep so it's no wonder the this kind of value was still available at #14. Holyfield will never become a star, but he looks like he can already contribute offensively and defensively to the Jazz.
Grade: B+
Washington Wizards
First Round
15-Washington Wizards - Alondes Williams PG 6'2'' 211 20 B- C+ A- B+ D+ C
Alondes Williams PG 20 6'2'' 211 B- C+ A- B+ C- C
Second Round
15-Washington Wizards-Sikki Muwalif C 6'11'' 273 22 C D C B B- C
Sikki Muwalif C 22 6'11'' 273 C D C B+ B- B
My Take - Alondes! Love this pick. He has some issues handling the ball, but that can be fixed easily. Love what he brings to the table. Sikki was also a steal in the 2nd round. I'm impressed with jah. He knows how to find talent in drafts.
Grade: A
Chicago Bulls
First Round
16-Chicago Bulls - Cameron Michael SG 6'6'' 230 20 C B C+ B- C A
Cameron Michael SG 20 6'6'' 230 C B+ C+ B C A
27-Chicago Bulls - Tony Benford SF 6'11'' 242 19 B C C C+ C A
Tony Benford SF 19 6'11'' 242 B C C- C C B
Second Round
11-Chicago Bulls-Asante Smiter PG 6'0'' 186 21 C+ B+ C- B D C
Asante Smiter PG 21 6'0'' 186 C B C- B D C
My Take - Michael was a very nice pick at 16 and looks to have a very bright future. Is there a reason he had no notes? Play likes to sneak players in there. Either way, I love that pick for the Bulls, but then they go out and draft Benford at 27. 4 year contract for nothing.
Grade: B+
Miami Heat
First Round
17-Miami Heat - Deion Garrity SG 6'6'' 208 20 C+ B+ C C C A
Deion Garrity SG 20 6'6'' 208 C+ A- C C C B
25- Miami Heat- Quinton Curry SF 6'7'' 220 22 B- B C B C- D
Quinton Curry SF 22 6'7'' 220 B- B C B- C D
28- Miami Heat- Clayton Nevill SF 6'7'' 217 23 C B- C- B C B
Second round
10-Miami Heat- Jalen Reynolds C 6'10'' 252 21 B C D B- C+ C
My Take - I really hates this draft for the Heat. Not much more to say other than they just made bad picks. These guys have major weaknesses in their game already with limited upside. Step it up, biggie.
Grade: C
Minnesota Timberwolves
First round
18-Minnesota Timberwolves- Jake Bennett C 6'9'' 289 22 B+ C- D+ B- C+ B
Jake Bennett C 22 6'9'' 289 B+ C- D+ B+ B- A
My Take - The rich get richer. Great pick late in the 1st round. Trunks gets his GM'ing off to a good start. Shot-blocking is going to be a major issue for Bennett, but he makes up for that with good offense and positional D.
Grade: A+
Toronto Raptors
First Round
20-Toronto Raptors-George Matthews SF 6'7'' 225 21 C C B+ B+ C C
George Matthews SF 21 6'7'' 225 C C+ B B+ C D
My Take - I don't know about this. If you're going to draft a C potential player, you shouldn't waste it on a SF who has those ratings. A tweener who can't score. Not a good pick from the get go.
Grade: C
Utah Jazz
First Round
24- Jazz - Derell Robertson C 7'1'' 254 18 C+ C- D+ B- C+ B
Derell Robertson C 18 7'1'' 254 C+ C- D+ B C+ B
27- Jazz - Kevin Henderson SG 6'6'' 202 18 C+ B- C+ B- D+ D
Kevin Henderson SG 18 6'6'' 202 C+ C+ C C+ D F
My Take - Don swung for two 18 year olds late in the 1st round and missed badly. These are guys you risk on in the 2nd round, not the first
Grade: D
First Round
1-New York Knicks - Benard Sullivan PF 6'9'' 250 22 B+ C- D+ C+ B- A
