1- John Wall PG 19 6'5'' 200 B C+ B B- C A
1- John Wall PG 19 6'5'' 200 B B- B B+ C A
Overall- +3
Excellent first TC for the Jazz first draft pick in franchise history. Wall already had a great scoring base as a rookie and improved his outside by 1. The real noise was made with a +2 in the ever important defensive category. This puts wall a measly +1 in defense away from basically being league average in that category before ever playing a game.
2- DeMarcus Cousins PF 19 7'0'' 275 B C- D+ B- B A
2- DeMarcus Cousins PF 19 7'0'' 275 B+ C- D+ B- B+ A
Overall- +2
Not overwhelming at first glance but still a positive TC for Boogie. The thing to remember is that he was already primed to be one of the leagues best big men in the future. I think the best thing is honestly that he didnt see a decline at outside scoring as I foresee him leading the league in free throws in the near future.
3- Evan Turner SG 21 6'7'' 205 B C+ C B C+ B
3- Evan Turner SG 21 6'7'' 205 B+ B C B C+ C
Overall- +3, -1 Potential
Our first negative potential comes early in the draft at number 3 but a guy that most already had potential worries on. However he already had B defense that stayed the course and looks to be on the road to becoming a possibly elite scorer (unless you look at dem ps numbers). In my opinion this was one of the best possible outcomes for Turner.
4- Greg Monroe C 20 6'11'' 258 B- C C+ B- B- A
4- Greg Monroe C 20 6'11'' 258 B C C+ B+ B B
Overall- +4, -1 Potential
Here sits all you assholes wishing nothing but positive vibes for mj and bam he signs Magic, bam he shows Monroe was a great choice with a +4 and all in key categories. I blame you all for this.
5- Paul George SF 19 6'9'' 210 C+ B- C B- C A
5- Paul George SF 19 6'9'' 210 C+ B C B C+ A
Overall- +3
Not a bad TC for George and the Cavs, and brings solid discussion in the George vs Monroe better pick debate. As of this second too close to call but Monroe looks impressive, it will be interesting to watch both develop. Curiosity is what happens when George moves to SG after TC and the added inch? Will he still bump up or will he stay put. I have a strange feeling that he stays put for some reason.
6- Derrick Favors PF 18 6'10'' 246 B D+ C- B- C+ A
6- Derrick Favors PF 18 6'10'' 246 B C- C- B C+ B
Overall- +2, -1 Potential
Another negative potential victim for the big man project. The bump up in outside is a welcome sight and he has decent grades to start his career but I am sure that the Warriors were hoping to see a little bit more improvement and certainly not a potential drop at 18 years old.
7- Eric Bledsoe PG 19 6'2'' 195 C+ C+ C+ B- C A
7- Eric Bledsoe PG 19 6'2'' 195 C+ B- B B C A
Overall- +4
Well what a fantastic selection at 7 and excellent bumps in some very key categories. Bledsoe keeps his A potential and is so far sitting tied for the highest change so far.
8- Lance Stephenson SG 19 6'5'' 210 B- C C C+ C A
8- Lance Stephenson SG 19 6'5'' 210 B- C+ C B C A
Overall- +3
Pretty solid TC for Lance but other than the +2 in defense there isn't much noteworthy. Still a strange pick and Lance didn't get the bump even I was expecting.
9- Jordan Crawford SG 21 6'4'' 198 B- B C C C- A
9- Jordan Crawford SG 21 6'4'' 198 B- B+ C C C- B
Overall- +1, -1 Potential
Meh for Jordan Crawford, basically seems to be someone in the mold of Piatkowski and I am unsure what the future holds for Crawford with that drop in potential. I can say that I was expecting a little more but he does have great scoring grades.
10- Larry Sanders C 21 6'11'' 235 C D+ C- B C+ A
10- Larry Sanders C 21 6'11'' 235 C C- D+ B B- A
Overall- +1
More like a +2 honestly as I am unsure that drop in handling really means anything for Sanders. He was picked at 10 to be a solid defense only big man that was able to grab some boards and block a few spots.
11- Ed Davis PF 21 6'10'' 230 B- C- C- B- B- A
11- Ed Davis PF 21 6'10'' 230 B- C C- B B- B
Overall- +2, -1 Potential
Pretty solid late lotto guy, bump up in defense and outside, looking like Davis will be a decent bench guy that can run a little and I have a feeling he will max out as a spot starter/6th man.
12- Wesley Johnson SF 22 6'7'' 210 C+ B- C B C B
12- Wesley Johnson SF 22 6'7'' 210 C+ B C B C B
Overall- +1
Not much to see here, solid bump in outside and thats all she wrote.
13- Cole Aldrich C 22 6'11'' 245 B- C- D B- B- B
13- Cole Aldrich C 22 6'11'' 245 B C- D+ B B- A
Overall- +3, +1 Potential
Oh Tyler you rain man like motherfucker. I dont get it, I just dont. I want to make a commish joke but its played out and Aldrich got the TC that I felt Davis was likely to get.
14- Al-Farouq Aminu SF 20 6'9'' 215 B- C C- B- C+ A
14- Al-Farouq Aminu SF 20 6'9'' 215 B- C C- B B- A
Overall- +2
Great TC for a pick at 14 with a bump at defense and rebounding to go along with pretty solid starting scoring grades. Cant be disappointed with this, that is until you see what Tyler got out of Aldrich.
15- Scoonie Saperstein C 18 6'11'' 273 C+ D D- B B- A
15- Scoonie Saperstein C 18 6'11'' 273 C D D A- B+ A
Overall- +4
Im looking at Scoonie as a plus 5 because who truly gives a fuck about him dropping inside? I sure as shit know JHB is creaming his beard and extremely pleased.
16- Gordon Hayward SG 20 6'8'' 207 C+ B C C+ C B
16- Gordon Hayward SG 20 6'8'' 207 C+ A- C+ C+ C B
Overall- +3
The Cavs continue the solid middle first picks with Hayward who added a plus 2 outside, Hayward was a +1 at SF before TC and if that sticks then great offseason for the white boy from Butler.
17- Avery Bradley PG 19 6'3'' 180 C+ C C+ B+ D+ A
17- Avery Bradley PG 19 6'3'' 180 C+ C C+ A- D+ B
Overall- +1, -1 Potential
Welp, nice bump in D but he was already above average as a first year guy in that category. Decrease in potential is concerning as well.
18- Trevor Booker PF 22 6'8'' 237 B- D+ C- B- B- B
18- Trevor Booker PF 22 6'8'' 237 B C- C- B B B

19- Xavier Henry SF 19 6'7'' 220 B- C+ C B- C A
19- Xavier Henry SF 19 6'7'' 220 B- B- C B- C+ A
Overall- +2
Nothing too impressive other than the fact that at 19 the raptors got what looks to be a very good project. Solid pick by the handsomest of all peters.
20- Craig Brackins PF 22 6'10'' 238 B C C- C+ C+ B
20- Craig Brackins PF 22 6'10'' 238 B+ C D+ C+ C+ C
Overall -2, -1 in Potential
Well boys and girls it took us 20 picks to finally get a negative overall pick. Most of that coming in handling is uneventful but the drop in potential doesnt look good for Brackins.
21- Elliot Williams SG 21 6'4'' 180 B- C+ C B C- B
21- Elliot Williams SG 21 6'4'' 180 C+ B- C B+ C B

Pretty damn good TC at pick 21. reversal of scoring grades a bump in D and rebounding.
22- Greivis Vasquez PG 23 6'6'' 208 C+ B B C+ C- C
22- Greivis Vasquez PG 23 6'6'' 208 B- B+ B C C- C
Overall- +1
Just a plus one overall but Vasquez looks like he has the chance to become a pretty good scorer, hate to see the drop at D but I wonder what happens when he gets moved to SG.
23- Ekpe Udoh PF 23 6'10'' 237 C+ C- C B B- B
23- Ekpe Udoh PF 23 6'10'' 237 C+ C- C B C+ B

24- Jarvis Varnado PF 22 6'9'' 210 C+ D+ C- B B C

Well guess the 2poor luck had to stop somewhere. I originally saw this has a great defensive big taken 10 picks after Scoonie. I think 2poor may have rather had Scoonie over Aminu but who knows.
25- Patrick Patterson PF 21 6'9'' 232 B- C C C+ C+ B
25- Patrick Patterson PF 21 6'9'' 232 B- C+ C B- B- A

26- Quincy Pondexter SG 22 6'6'' 220 B C+ C B- C B

Good late pick and great TC. Should have been the pick at 24 imo but I give Canes the credit for following mj and getting another great late round guy.
