Round 1
1 Phoenix Suns - Collin Sexton PG 6'2'' 188 19 B B- C+ B- C A
Collin Sexton PG 19 6'3'' 193 B B+ C B- C A (+1)
He should be able to score and not pass and hopefully not turn it over. He has a very Chauncey 2.0 look to him which is apparently enough to put with Anthony Davis, Mo Bamba, and a handful of non-scoring wings and win it all. Time to end 5.0 before we have to deal with Ank Dynasty. But seriously, a very good start to being a contender again for Ankly, as Sexton looks the part of a good player so long as that handling grade is good and it's just the passing that's low. Besides, as a 19 year old with A potential he has a long way to grow.
2 Golden State Warriors - Luka Doncic SG 6'8'' 185 19 B- B- B- B- C+ A
Luka Doncic SG 19 6'9'' 190 B A- B B- C+ A (+5)
Whooooooooooooooo buddy....Luka had a very good TC and hopefully can take some points in passing to qualify the move to PG so that Josh Jackson move doesn't feel as dumb. That is a serious jump in outside shooting and it should make Taco feel good. But on the other hand, if you have Doncic and Tatum, why do you need a worse wing on a max contract? That should make Taco feel bad.

3 Memphis Bobcats - Trevon Duval PG 6'3'' 191 19 B C+ C+ B- C- B
Trevon Duval PG 19 6'4'' 196 B C+ B C+ D+ B (even)
3048 Rookie TC presents "Offseason in Memphis"
"I need a PG." - Odin
"You have Rex Chapman." - Everyone else
"He isn't a PG to me. I need a point guard" - Odin
"Therockeyeroll.gif" - Everyone else
"I did just draft Trevon Duval." - Odin
"You need a PG." - Everyone else
"I quit." - Odin
4 Orlando Magic - Hamidou Diallo SG 6'4'' 190 19 A- C D C+ C+ A
Hamidou Diallo SG 19 6'5'' 195 A- B- D+ B C+ A (+5)
Oh buddy does Diallo look extremely interesting. He has the potential to be an elite scoring guard with this start on his grades. MJ got a good foundational piece here if he plays up to these grades and gets some points in his outside and shot blocking. This alone makes for an exciting offseason in Magic-land, which is fortunate since Danny Manning still hasn't show up to a TC yet.
5 San Diego Clippers - Michael Porter PF 6'10'' 213 20 B- B C C+ C+ B
Michael Porter SF 20 6'10'' 218 B- B+ C+ B- C B (+2)
This looked very promising after Porter went +2 defense on the move to SF. But if you don't count the +2 gained in defense on this move, this TC is a wash for him. While the offensive grades look promising, the defense and rebounding does not. Hopefully he produces for Yawn.
6 New Orleans Pelicans - Mo Bamba C 7'2'' 220 20 C+ C- C- B+ B- A
Mo Bamba C 20 7'2'' 220 C+ C- C- A- B A (+2)
Mo looks like he's got all the tools to step in and be a top-notch D/R big. Let's hope it works out that way for Ank as he paid a relatively steep price to obtain this player, moving Anthony Mason to Billy King and now forcing us to all listen to how great he is as he plays backup swing forward minutes.
7 Dallas Mavericks (from Pistons) - Billy Preston C 6'10'' 230 21 B- B- B- C+ C+ A
Billy Preston C 21 6'10'' 230 B- B- B B- C+ B (+2, -1 potential)
"Not great, Bob."
"But my name is Billy!"
"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!"
8 Milwaukee Bucks (from Grizzlies) - Deandre Ayton C 7'0'' 250 19 B C C+ B- B- A
Deandre Ayton C 19 7'1'' 255 B C C+ B B- A (+1)
Hopefully this is the calm before the storm in some rapid growth TC's for the young big. He looked to maybe have the skills to break the mold as a two-way big but the first TC wasn't overly encouraging. Best wishes to GM Duc and hopes for continued energetic activity from him as it has been a great re-addition to the league.
9 Washington Bullets (from Bulls) - Jason McElwain SG 6'2'' 155 19 C A B C- C- B
Jason McElwain SG 19 6'3'' 160 C A B+ C- D+ B (even)
McElwain ends up even in TC with a corresponding drop in rebounding matching his bump in handles. The good news is he's now PG eligible, where his low inside, defense, and rebounding probably play a little better than on the wing. Could we have a Nash 2.0 on our hands?
10 Indiana Pacers (from Hornets) - PJ Dozier SG 6'6'' 200 21 B- C+ C+ B- C+ A
PJ Dozier SG 21 6'6'' 200 B- B- B B- C+ A (+3)
Everyone knows I love PJ. He had a good TC. Live at JHB's house when PJ's TC was revealed:
11 Milwaukee Bucks - Gary Trent Jr. SG 6'5'' 213 19 C+ B- C+ B- C+ A
Gary Trent Jr. SG 19 6'5'' 213 C+ B B- B C+ B (+3, -1 potential)
A solid +3 TC for Gary Trent, but unfortunately it came in maybe the least impactful gradesets other than the small bump in outside. Hopefully he is a guy who plays above his grades for GM Duc and the reputation of my Big Board.
12 Orlando Magic (from Cavaliers) - Paul Scruggs PG 6'4'' 200 19 B- C+ C+ B- C- B
Paul Scruggs PG 19 6'4'' 200 B- C+ C+ B+ C- B (+2)
Good defense bump, not much else. As I said earlier, thankfully Hamidou is looking like a stud as that cures all off-season woes.
13 Phoenix Suns (from Mavericks) - Lonnie Walker SG 6'4'' 206 20 C+ B- C B- C A
Lonnie Walker SG 20 6'4'' 206 C+ B+ C B C B (+3, -1 potential)
Lonnie had a good TC and should get some looks in the starting lineup for the Fighting Anks as he's got some of the better scoring grades on their wing at C+ B+. Get them inside and strength camps and prosper, young man.
14 Cleveland Cavaliers (from Bullets) - TJ Leaf PF 6'10'' 225 21 B- B- C C+ C+ B
TJ Leaf PF 21 6'10'' 230 C+ B- C C B- B (-1)
Woof. Definitely has no future as a big. Probably needs a move to SF asap to try and salvage any value.

15 Fort Wayne Pistons (from Kings) - Tony Bradley C 6'10'' 248 20 B D D B B B
Tony Bradley C 20 6'10'' 248 B+ D D B B B (+1)
"Did you really just take a B D big with B potential in the first round?" - Commish 20s
What else is there to say that hasn't already been said?
16 Phoenix Suns (from Trailblazers) - Chris Taft C 6'10'' 330 33 B+ C+ C+ B B+ D
Chris Taft C 33 6'10'' 330 B+ B- C+ B B C (even, +1 potential)
Yeah, he could be good for a couple years. May not see the end of his rookie contract though.
17 Indiana Pacers (from Knicks) - Kris Wilkes SF 6'8'' 195 20 B- C+ C B- C+ A
Kris Wilkes SF 20 6'8'' 195 B- C+ C B+ C+ A (+2)
Very interesting TC and probably one that Heebs will like as I know he likes his wings to play defense like I do. His jump to B+ defense is very interesting and the offense can be brought along with a few more TC's and some SC/RC loving.
18 Miami Heat - Wendell Carter C 6'10'' 262 19 A- D+ D+ B B C
Wendell Carter C 19 6'11'' 262 A- D+ D+ B B C (even)
I don't think we've seen a teenager with grades this promising and C potential to this point. I can't wait to see how he develops over his rookie contract, but he's not off to a hot start. There's a lot you can do with these starting grades though so the jury is still out.
19 Fort Wayne Pistons (from Celtics) - Troy Brown SF 6'7'' 210 19 C+ C+ C B- B- B
Troy Brown SF 19 6'7'' 210 C+ C+ C B B B (+2)
I mean he went +2 but what does this guy really do for you? Not a great draft for GBG again unfortunately.
20 Boston Celtics (from Braves) - Chimezie Metu C 6'9'' 210 21 C D+ D+ B- B B
Chimezie Metu C 21 6'9'' 215 C D+ D B- B+ B (even)
Metu does nothing in TC, much like his GM this offseason.
Come back Dump!
21 Minnesota Timberwolves - Andrew Jones PG 6'4' 190 20 C+ B- B- C+ D+ B
Andrew Jones PG 20 6'4'' 190 B- B- B B- D+ C (+3, -1 potential)
PG of the future? He's got a good all around game except for rebounding and good size for the position. Damian Lillard doesn't look to have a whole lot left. Is Andrew Jones the future?
22 Toronto Raptors - Jordan Bell PF 6'9'' 215 24 B- C C- B C+ C
Jordan Bell SF 24 6'9'' 215 B- C C- C+ C+ D (-1, -1 potential)
Good thing rookie contracts are two year deals with options, right Pete?
23 Utah Jazz - Bonzie Colson SF 6'5'' 225 23 B- C+ C- B B B
Bonzie Colson SF 23 6'5'' 225 B- C+ C- B B+ B (+1)
A lot in common with his pick last year, Charles Smith, who was a PF moved to SF and then didn't really grow much.
24 Cleveland Cavaliers (from Hawks) - Kyle Guy SG 6'2 155 21 C+ B C+ B- D+ B
Kyle Guy SG 21 6'2'' 155 C+ B+ C+ B D+ A ( +2, +1 potential)
Fortunately, this is an encouraging TC for Shaun after the disaster that was TJ Leaf earlier. Probably needs a move to PG to stick on a team but he's off to a good start.
25 Milwaukee Bucks (from Rockets) - Zach Collins PF 6'10'' 215 21 B- C+ C C+ B- B
Zach Collins SF 21 6'10'' 215 B- C+ C- C+ B+ B (+1)
I was hoping for a little more here with the move to SF...he could still be a very good player if the C+ defense plays up and Duc pumps some points into his scoring. Not bad for a late 1st. He's a fixer upper but the bones are there.
26 Charlotte Hornets (from SuperSonics) - Killian Tillie PF 6'10'' 200 20 C B C B- B B
Killian Tillie SF 20 6'10'' 200 C B C B- B C (-1 potential)
Not much going here for Fecta as Tillie stays the same and drops potential. Very interested to see how he plays with those grades after his summit performance.
27 Phoenix Suns (from Lakers) - Kostja Mushidi SG 6'5'' 210 20 C+ B- C- C+ C+ A
Kostja Mushidi SG 20 6'5'' 210 B- B- C- B C+ A (+3)
Blurb.
28 Indiana Pacers - Marcus Keene SG 5'9'' 175 23 B- B+ C C+ D+ B
Marcus Keene SG 23 5'9'' 175 B- A- C C+ D+ D (+1, -2 potential)
He definitely has the grades to score but it's hard to love a prospect that drops to D potential after the first TC. Finding a place for him in your DC is a bit troubling as well as a 5'9" shooting guard that can't rebound and likely can't defend. Yikes.
29 Charlotte Hornets (from Spurs) - Theo Pinson SF 6'6'' 188 22 B- C+ C+ C+ C+ A
Theo Pinson SF 22 6'6'' 193 B- B- B- B- C+ B (+3, -1 potential)
A very nice TC for the young man from the University of North Carolina. Looks like Fecta may have a late round steal of a hometown hero to replace VC.
Round 2
1 Indiana Pacers (from Bobcats) - Trevon Bluiett SG 6'5'' 215 22 C+ B C C+ C B
Trevon Bluiett SG 22 6'5'' 215 C+ B+ C- C+ C B (even)
Another Trevon with an underwhelming TC. 3048 TC presented by George Z....nope. Not going there.
2 Charlotte Hornets (from Suns) - John Collins PF 21 6'10'' 225 B C D+ B- B B
John Collins C 21 6'10'' 225 B C D+ B- B- B (-1)
3 Washington Bullets (from Magic) - Bruce Brown SG 6'3'' 200 22 B- B- C C+ C B
Bruce Brown SG 22 6'3'' 200 C+ B- C C+ C- C (-2, -1 potential)
