1 New York Knicks - Oscar Robertson SF 6'5'' 205 22 B+ B B+ C+ B A
With notes saying that he has good handles, Westbrook lite comparison are unwarranted. Cloud comparison are also incorrect as he will be way better as he has B+ inside scoring I dont see Cloud having B+ inside ever, he'll be a top 5 player in the league easy. Good pick, I would have taken him number 1 too. Sad times for the Celtics missing out on 3 generational players.

2 Minnesota Timberwolves - Jerry West PG 6'3'' 175 22 B B+ C+ B C A
Easy choice, pick whoever is left, the 5 ACs and RCs feels redundant In my humble opinion, question is where will you put it to make him better than expected? if you put in on his rebounding, you're camping him to be only as good as Big O? Of course try all 3 scoring ratings, handles and steals first in my opinion, generational player again. Worth noting that Spence had Jerry West logo as his profile picture last season.

3 Boston Celtics Horace Walker SF 6'3'' 210 23 B- C C B- B C
Sad times for the Celtics, but who knows he's probably the next Sean Ellison. All elite ratings, questions is how is his potential, he'll be a decent player for the struggling Celtics, but missed out on 3 generational talents sad times. Pick was between Wilkens and Walker by the way. Wilkens was safer.
Ratings: B4 Detroit Pistons - Doug Moe SF 6'5'' 215 22 B- C C B+ B- B
I don't understand this pick at all, his reasoning was he don't like Lenny Wilkens in real life, okay but why pick a 3rd starter at best and most likely a 5th starter over a potential top 5 PG in the league? To be fair though, I'd pick him after Wilkens though so still a decent pick but could be better. And how better is Moe over let's say 11th pick George Price?
Ratings: B
5 Seattle Sonics - Lenny Wilkens PG 6'1'' 180 23 C B B B C A
Easy pick, when the draft was researched, this was supposed to be the Big O, Logo, Wilkens draft. But after the all elite ratings to Walker, things kinda change. Easy pick and no brainer pick by the Seattle Supersonics, though why does he have 14 rookie contracts, and a 5 topg PG on a Max, A for the pick, D for the offseason ratings. Will give a B- for the middle

6 Cleveland Cavaliers - Jackie Moreland PF 6'7'' 215 22 C+ C+ C- B- C+ A
After the dust settled and they got Elgin Baylor (poor Lums) who cares to be honest, looks to be an all around stud, currently a tweener but the good upside shows he could and should be way better. Best available talent in my humble opinion too. Question is how solid is his stocks, and should he be developed as a wing or a big? Good upside though so sure.
Ratings: A-
7 LA Lakers - Al Attles PG 6'0'' 175 24 B- C C+ B+ C A
Looks like a gimmick player to be honest, I wouldn't pick him here, poor three pointing guards with very good jump shot has been tried and to no avail wasnt as successful, if he has a very good upside though, he'll have hope. But at 24, FBB TC might not be good to him. Decent flyer pick though. I expected him at this range.
Ratings: B
8 Utah Jazz - Darrall Imhoff C 6'10'' 220 22 C C- C- B- B- A
Has 90-100 potential, easy pick, I predicted habes to pick their second gimmick player back to back in the lotto with him stealing Medenhall last season and him pick Warley, but the follow up questions of Warley left much to be desired. Should be Gobert-like impact for Imhoff, at the very least a 5th starter, which is good enough after the generational talents were picked.
Ratings: A-
9 San Antonio Spurs - Ben Warley SF 6'5'' 200 24 C+ C A C C+ C
I like him, perimeter D aside. Move him to PG easily, got under the hood scoring ratings, will be a good player. Nothing much left anyway, very good pick. Should be camped pre-first TC though.
Ratings: A-
10 New Jersey Nets - Willie Jones PG 6'3'' 185 24 C+ B- C- C+ C A
Meh, Mediocre handles, good upside though. Should be a trade asset for a team trying to make the CY. Can he really wait for the upside? Could have gotten the 5th starter types which are picked next as he's trying to make the CY. Mediocre handles as a PG though? Maybe move him to SG? idk. Make a move Chris?
Ratings: B-
11 Atlanta Hawks (from Grizzlies)- George Price SF 6'6'' 205 22 B C+ C- B+ C+ B
No chance he bust, a 5th starter from day 1, the good inside and midrange scorer are sexy. Rebounding too??? No mention of stocks though, if he has good-very good stocks though, this could be the steal of the draft. B scouted potential too. Maybe he could improve a little bit more. But even if he doesn't he's a good starter.
Ratings: A-
12 Indiana Pacers - Tony Wilcox PF 6'7'' 225 22 C C C- B B+ C
Good midrange, handles, rebounding and strength. Some stocks. Cant score inside. Another 5th starter type but with his notes saying only some he could be more of a third big, well won't be a waste of a roster spot unlike those guys on Seattle. Camp his stocks and some TC luck and he could be a decent piece. Decent pick nothing to be overly excited with but something that wouldn't make you dissapointed.
Ratings: B
13 Washington Wizards- Lee Shaffer SF 6'7'' 220 21 C+ C+ C C+ C+ A
Very good upside, slightly reminds of Jalen Mbala. Good rebuilding piece, but there has been a lot of C+ with high upside prospect that fizzled out. Age 21 too which is pretty young for these drafts. There's some hope for him but wouldn't be surprise if he busts. But worth taking a look with the very good upside which is rarely said by Spencer on notes.
