How i determine the grade. Salary, place where picked and team needs, also upside comes to play as well.
Warriors
Draft Grades
Rd.1 Greg Monroe- B+
Rd.2 Tim Duncan- A
Rd.3 Zach Lavine-B-
Rd.4 Willie Cauley-Stein-C+
Overall Grade- B+
Secretly Gsw has had one of the best drafts. Already in position to make noise in the league GSW made two big splashes with their two first picks. Monroe coming off his best league in the league goes to a team with little inside presence at the moment and should have the same numbers or even better salary a little high but comes with the player. Can you say STEAL Tim Duncan, this man never gets old arguably one of his best years last year this man keeps on trucking and fits perfectly with the team already at hand. If Duncan keeps the same numbers i fear GSW might be coming out the west. And with the 3rd pick the Warriors go young and take an explosive Zach Lavine. He doesnt do one thing greatly but is a perfect behind Curry and with the age the upside is high, only downfall is he still has a kid name of ricky rubio still on the roster. And then the Warriors snatch the replacement for Duncan in willie Cauley probaly wont ever be a star but can easily be a Tyson Chandler type of player. But how much will he give the Kings playing behind Cousins. Great Draft to the Warriors
Clippers
Draft Grade
Rd.1 Jabari Parker-B
Rd.2 Jusuf Nurkic- C+
Rd.3 Justice Winsolw- B-
Rd.4 Rondae Hollis-Jefferson-C
Overall Grade C+
Clippers, Cp3. Blake Griffin two stars in the game today on the same roster clippers lucked out but didnt so much in the draft. Lets get the ball rolling with the clipps first pick they take Parker and before his injury struggled a lil bit seeing his stock go down and Wiggins rise to the top. With the injury the jury is still out on Parker and with a deep young talented roster with the bucks minutes will have to be spread but i think he can bounce back and essentially will be the right pick here for the clippers. Parker was the one and only pick i liked from the Clippers. In the 2nd rd the Clippers decided to go young and cheap again and i dont get the reasoning yes i like Nurkic but would of like to see him taken in the 3rd or 4rd. The roster like the OKC is built to win now and going young over and over again when there are proven veterans is something to hard to swallow( BET BILL CLINTON SAID THE SAME THING). I am not big on Nurkic but i hope he proves me wrong but i dont see it. In the 3rd the Clippers take Winslow, The scouts fell in love with him coming out of Duke and then he went 10th in the draft and the scouts hated him, once dwade retires and deng leaves the heat will need wing players and he fits that wrong can easily be a star in this league and while i am writing will give him a B+ instead but still doesnt raise the clipps overall grade because YOU GUESSED IT RD PICK : Jefferson one of THE worst picks in the draft NO ONE had jefferson on their radar and could have easily been taken in FA and he doesnt help the Clippers win Now. Good look in year 2018 when most of your team goes into FA CLippers
Phoenix Suns
Draft Grade
Rd.1 Nerlens Noel- C
Rd.2 Kevin Love- B+( Rd 1 and 2 players should be switched)
RD.3 Mario Hezonja- B-
Rd.4 TJ Warren- C+
Overall Grade- C+
The Suns had a chance to do something special with two great guards already on the roster, focus on every other position but guard. But at the start the Suns look confused taking a Nerlens Noel, a year ago this would of been a better pick but with a bigger better C on the team Noel role will be decline, and for the Suns to take him in the 1st rd is just crazy. But to make matters worst the suns turn around and Get Kevin a double double guy who fits the team nicely . Love should have been taken in the first rd and someone besides Noel in the 2nd would have liked the draft a lot more for the suns. The suns then go young international player in Mario, in which i like a lot. Comes in with a lot of confidence a young player needs that but could the suns have taken a better value player here i Believe so. Then with the last pick the team takes a homer pick in TJ Warren, even with a expanded role on the team i dont see him doing to much. Essentially as the draft went on the Suns didnt really know which way they wanted to draft and in the end killed their chances at really winning the league.
Blazers
Draft Grades
RD.1 Giannis Antetokounmpo - A-
Rd.2 Stanley Johnson- B-
Rd.3 Aaron Gordon- B-
Rd.4 CJ McCollum- C-
Overall B-
The Trailblazers came into the league at a very interesting position, which includes having to sign their best player next year and then after drafting Giannis their next best player a year after that. Blazers had one of the most meaningless drafts in the league. Not only have they Handicapped themselves today but the future as well. But taking Giannis bolds well for the young team, he does a little bit of everything which is a good thing for the Blazers they will need it this year. I love Stanley but not on the Blazers i would of love to see them take a star in the 2nd rd Maybe a D12 just to bring some excitment to the City. Johnson if he pans out will be great for the team but was not the right pick here. Aaron almost the same exact story as Johnson, the Trailblazers failed to realize this is almost a win now league and question marks will not get it done. Gordon have had comparisons to Marion which bolds well for him, but by the Blazers see this will they even be able to Re-Sign him?? Cj McCollum another Homer picks which just makes the Blazers look down right weak. So many ? the Blazers will without doubt be at the bottom this year. Hopefully not for too long thought.
Kings Draft
Draft Grades
RD.1 Elfrid Payton- B
Rd.2 Dirk Nowitzk-B+
Rd. 3 Alec Burks- C
Rd.4 Mason Plumlee- C+
Overall Grade- B-
The kings easily have the best C on the roster and should be looking to win now with him And Mr.Gay. The goal should be simple Fill in the Holes around them. Elfrid Payton fills the need at PG but as i am typing this have to downgrade the grade to C+ looking at the pgs that went after him i see more upside in those Pgs then Payton. Payton fills a need but the kings could have sulfide their position in the league in the league but seem like they wanted to go cheap and young here which will hurt in the long run. The next pick i love in Dirk. You know exactlly what you are getting out of this guy nothing more with nothing less which bolds well with the the Kings chances of making a deep run. Now here where it all goes down the drain. the Kings take Burks and i am sitting back like WHY IN THE BLOODY FUCK WOULD YOU TAKE A SG THAT MAKES 9 MILLION A YEAR ON A CONTRACT THAT LONG THAT WONT PUT UP ANY NUMBERS ON A JAZZ TEAM THAT DOESNT NEED HIS ASS. As you can i was highly upset with them taking Burks. And yea i have to downgrade him to a D especially when you could have gotten dwade for probaly cheaper and younger. And then the kings close their draft out with a solid but def forgettable pick in plumlee. And i initially had the kings at B- but they will finish with a solid C- with Dirk saving them.
Utah Swarms Draft
Draft Grades
Rd.1 Serge Ibaka-B+
Rd.2 Danny Green-B-
Rd.3 Patrick Beverly F FUCKING MINUS F--------
RD.4 Markieff Morris- C+
OVERALL- C+
Can you say cheapppppp in the name we speak of GOBERT wow Swarms have probaly the best contract in him and Hayward isnt to bad himself. Ibaka to intially start the draft i love the pick fits in nicely to the team rebs blks perfect pick. Then it gets weird, the Swarm take green with the next pick which indeed is a good player but at 10 million idk, does hit 3s pretty good but nothing else to much. Then it gets Stupid the swarm take a player who was easily going to the damn FA block in BEVERLY ONCE AGAIN WHY DO YOU TAKE HIM. Not only was he not a true Pg last year now this year he wont even start and at 6 million is nasty, esp with MCW STILL on the board have to say def in the top 3 of worst picks. Swarm then get lazy and take Morris SHIT WHO AM I KIDDING IDK THE DIFFERNCE IN THE BROTHERS BY THE NAME THEY BOTH THE SAME CRYBABIES GOOD LUCK SWARM U WILL NEED IT WITH BEVERLY COULD HAVE TAKEN RONDO PARKER MCW ECT SMFH( LADIES AND GENTLEMAN HAVE A GOOD NIGHT"""" DROPS MIC EAST DRAFT RATINGS WILL BE ON MONDAY MOTHERSUCKERS)
