1. Denver Nuggets- Paul George SF 20 6'8'' 220 B- B- C C+ C A
Royal gets the player he’s been chasing for years! George was the consensus #1 player on the board. He gives the Nuggets a star they can build around for the future. With the additions of Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki and Jamal Crawford, George will likely be asked to contribute as a role player this season. The Nuggets finally have a player to look forward to.
Grade: A
Projected First TC Ratings: B B C B- C+ A
2. Chicago Bulls (from Timberwolves)- John Wall PG 20 6'2'' 210 C+ C+ B C+ C A
This pick came down to John Wall and Demarcus Cousins. The Bulls, already having a non shot-blocking offensive big on the roster in Blake Griffin, so they decided to go with John Wall. Wall has potential to be the Bulls starting PG of the future. His game is very raw and his handling needs work but I feel it was the right decision for Chicago.
Grade: B+
Projected First TC Ratings: C+ B B+ B- C A
3. Phoenix Suns - DeMarcus Cousins C 20 6'10'' 270 B C C C+ B- A
Cousins was a no brainer pick here. After him there is a significant drop-off in talent. Cousins will give the Suns an offensive scoring threat from the start. In a league lacking offensive post players, Cousins should become one of the league's best in the near future.
Grade: A-
Projected First TC Ratings: B+ C C C+ B A
4. Memphis Grizzlies- Derrick Favors C 19 6'9'' 265 B- C- D C+ C+ A
Favors is a very raw prospect. I understand the selection since this is the Grizzlies first year rebuilding. Favors has all the traits you look for in a big but will he boom or bust. Whiteside was my projected pick at #4.
Grade: B-
Projected First TC Ratings: B- C- D B- C+ A
5. Toronto Raptors- Hassan Whiteside C 21 7'0'' 265 C+ D+ D- B- B B
Love this selection for the Raptors. Whiteside will be a great rim protecting, rebounding big. Whiteside is what every GM looks for to anchor the defensive end. I could see him being the 2nd best player from this draft down the line.
Grade: A
Projected First TC Ratings: C+ D+ D- B B+ B
6. Cleveland Cavaliers- Eric Bledsoe PG 21 6'1'' 214 C+ C+ C+ B- C A
Bledsoe shot up my board as the draft got closer. While I preferred Avery Bradley, Bledsoe should become a solid starter for the Cavs. I love his rebounding and potential on the defensive end. My only concern is his handling, since it wasn’t mentioned in the notes.
Grade: B+
Projected First TC Ratings: B- C+ B- B+ C B
7. Dallas Mavericks- Avery Bradley PG 21 6'3'' 180 C+ C+ C A- C B
Excellent pick for the Mavs. Bradley was going to be my pick here if we didn’t jump in the lotto. Like Bledsoe I have concerns about his handling. If his handling is low, Bradley has potential to be the best PG drafted.
Grade: A-
Projected First TC Ratings: C+ B- C A- C B
8. Chicago Bulls- Larry Sanders C 22 6'11'' 235 C D D- B+ B- C
Sanders wasn’t even close to being this high on my list. Insane cried like a bitch and I allowed him to pick Sanders. I didn’t really see the need for him and preferred Lance Stephenson. Iffy ass pick by Insane. I take no responsibility for this selection.
Grade: C-
Projected First TC Ratings: C D D- B+ B- D
9. Detroit Pistons- Gordon Hayward SF 20 6'7'' 225 C B+ C C+ C A
Hayward draft notes were very disappointing. I really hated how Spencer shitted on him with those notes. Hayward is a good outside offensive player but he lacks volume. Handling is also an issue with him. With Galo's activity, Detroit is the right franchise to take a risk on him though and RC and AC him out.
Grade: C+
Projected First TC Ratings: C A- C C+ C B
10. Sacramento Kings- Lance Stephenson SG 20 6'6'' 230 C+ C C B+ C B
I really wanted Lance Stephenson. His notes were great and I think he could be a very good 4th or 5th starter or even a super sub at the 1-3 positions off the bench. Excellent selection by the Kings.
Grade: A
Projected First TC Ratings: C+ C C A- C B
11. Washington Wizards- Patrick Patterson PF 21 6'8'' 235 C+ B- D+ B C+ B
Another good selection here. Patterson notes had nothing but positive things. I feel he needs to be RC’d and AC’d right away but he kinda landed in the wrong spot for that to happen. Still a solid pick, I just wish he went to a team that would invest in him right away.
Grade: B
Projected First TC Ratings: C+ B D+ B+ C+ C
12. Miami Heat- Al-Farouq Aminu SF 20 6'8'' 220 C+ C+ D+ B C+ B
Aminu didn’t make it to my draft board. I didn’t even look twice at him after my DeMarre Carroll draft blunder last season. I don’t like the pick but I understand it.
Grade: B-
Projected First TC Ratings: C C+ D+ B+ C+ C
13. Atlanta Hawks (from Clippers via SEA/DAL)- Evan Turner SF 22 6'6'' 220 B- C+ B- C C A
This is a pretty good landing spot for Turner. Turner should be a good BBS rotational player who can backup multiple positions. Solid pick here for Footy. Very curious to see how this part( But, is he closer to his floor or his ceiling?) of his draft notes play out.
Grade: B+
