1. Raptors - Gary Payton PG 6'4'' 175 21 B C B- B+ C A
After TC: Gary Payton PG 21 6'4'' 175 B C B A- C A (+2)
Gary got a couple solid bumps to his already stout defense grade and his handles. Would've been nice to see a bump in outside, but overall a nice TC for the [HASH]1 pick
2. Hornets - Derrick Coleman PF 6'10'' 230 21 B C- D+ B B+ A
After TC: Derrick Coleman PF 22 6'10'' 230 B C- D+ B+ B+ B (+1, -1 potential)
RV is probably disappointed with this result. On the one hand, that B+ B+ defense and rebounding is really nice, but the drop in potential is some cause for concern.
3. Rockets - Hank Gathers SF 6'7'' 235 23 B+ C- C- B- B B
After TC: Hank Gathers SF 23 6'7'' 235 B+ C C- B- B A (+1, +1 potential)
I thought zombie Gathers went a little higher than he should have, but he had a pretty good training camp including a nice boost in potential. He is also no change at SG, so it will be interesting to see how Dil uses him.
4. Clippers - Bo Kimble SG 6'4'' 190 23 B- B C- B C+ B
After TC: Bo Kimble SG 23 6'4'' 190 B B+ C- B+ C+ B (+3)
Bo Knows basketball. After this TC bump and his preseason, Bo looks like he'll be a great scorer on the wing at either SG or SF.
5. Thunder - Kendall Gill SG 6'5'' 195 21 B C+ C B- C A
After TC: Kendall Gill SG 21 6'5'' 195 B- B- C B C A (+1)
Kendall GEEEEEELL maybe should've had a little more Goo Punch this preseason. His bump in defense and outside were great, but I'm sure JHB was hoping he wouldn't lose that B inside grade.
6. Bulls - Felton Spencer C 7'0" 265 23 B- D+ D+ B C+ A
After TC: Felton Spencer C 23 7'0'' 265 B D+ D+ B+ B- B (+3, -1 potential)
Nice pick by Bruns after falling out of range of the top prospects. Felton increased in all of the key areas for a big man, and while he lost a grade in potential, he doesn't have much more growing to be a good rotation player/borderline starter, so it might not matter.
7. Warriors - Willie Burton SF 6'8'' 210 22 B- C+ C- B C A
After TC: Willie Burton SF 22 6'8'' 210 B- C+ C B C+ A (+2)
Devine's gotten very comfortable picking in the 5-9 range. It's nice to see Burton increase and maintain his A potential, but handles and rebounding are not the areas he wanted to see an increase.
8. Hawks - Dennis Scott SF 6'8'' 229 22 C B+ C- C+ C A
After TC: Dennis Scott SF 22 6'8'' 229 C A- C- C+ C+ A (+2)
Probably the biggest reach of the draft, RW fell in love with Dennis Scott's outside grade and was rewarded with another bump to an A-, along with a bump in rebounding. Still, not looking like a great pick here.
9. Nuggets - Cedric Ceballos SF 6'6'' 190 21 B- C+ D+ C+ B- A
After TC: Cedric Ceballos SF 21 6'6'' 190 B- C D+ B- B A(+1)
Cedric "The Caballo" Ceballos stumbled out of the gate losing a grade in his outside game, but came on in the stretch with increases to his defense and rebounding.
10. Hawks (from Jazz) - Dominic Long C 7'3'' 278 22 A- D+ D+ C B- A
After TC: Dominic Long C 22 7'3'' 278 A- C- C- C B B (+3, -1 potential)
Software POTY Dominic Long still is one of the weirdest prospects in this draft. He'll score in bunches, and was helped w/ a bump to his outside game, handles and rebounding, but lost that A potential and remained a zero on defense. Should be an interesting career to watch.
11. Trailblazers (from Knicks) - Lionel Simmons SF 6'7'' 210 22 B C+ C- B B- C
After TC: Lionel Simmons SF 22 6'7'' 210 B C+ C- B+ B- B(+1, +1 potential)
The Thundercat has a good TC for duc, showing some promise with an increase in defense and jumping to a B in potential. Nice pick from someone who hasn't drafted in a while.
12. Thunder (from Pacers) - Toni Kukoc SF 6'10'' 192 22 B- B- C C C A
After TC: Toni Kukoc SF 22 6'10'' 192 B B C+ C C+ B(+4, -1 potential)
Toni showing definite flashes of being an offense-only player, with letter grade bumps in both scoring categories. Still soft as baby shit on defense, and he no longer has an A to put on the fridge.
13. Magic (from Celtics) - Elden Campbell PF 6'11'' 215 22 B- D+ D+ B C+ A
After TC: Elden Campbell PF 22 6'11'' 215 B- C- D+ B+ B- A(+3)
MJ continues to hit on these draft picks, as Campbell takes a grade in outside, defense and rebounding. I don't think anybody's going to be sending good karma his way in the near future.
14. Rockets (from Trailblazers) - Dwayne Schintzius C 7'1'' 260 22 C D D+ B B B
After TC: Dwayne Schintzius C 22 7'1'' 260 C D D B+ B+ B(+1)
Dil was very excited to land Shitzius, and I can see why. He technically only went +1 because of a decrease in handles, but he has the look of a great defense-only big man already. Plus, have you seen his hair?!?
15. Nets - Gregor Fucka C 7'1'' 225 23 B- C D+ C+ B- B
After TC: Gregor Fucka C 23 7'1'' 225 B- C C- C+ B A(+2, +1 potential)
This smarmy Fucka still has some growth to do, as that C+ defense grade won't cut it, but otherwise he's looking like a solid prospect for the Scatman.
16. Nuggets (from Heat) - Antonio Davis C 6'9'' 215 22 C D D+ B- B- B
After TC: Antonio Davis C 22 6'9'' 215 C D D+ B B- B(+1)
Antonio looks a little lost without Dale, and got a lone bump in defense. Still, could be worse.
17. Hawks (from Grizzlies) - Jayson Williams PF 6'9'' 240 22 C D D+ B A- C
After TC: Jayson Williams PF 22 6'9'' 240 C D D+ B A B(+1, +1 potential)
I don't necessarily want to say RW murdered this pick, but it looks like at least involuntary manslaughter. Defensive bigs abounding here in the teens.
18. Raptors (from Pistons) - Loy Vaught 22 6'9 230 PF B- C- C C+ B A
After TC: Loy Vaught PF 22 6'9'' 230 B- C- C C+ B B(-1 potential)
Remember after Antonio Davis when I said it could be worse? Well here is worse. Loy didn't have any visible improvement and lost his A potential, marking this TC as a failure. Loy vey!
19. Celtics (from Suns) - Anthony Bonner SF 6'8'' 215 22 B- C C- B- B+ B
After TC: Anthony Bonner SF 22 6'8'' 215 B- C C- B- B+ B(no change)
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
20. Bullets - Tate George SG 6'5 190 22 C+ C+ C B+ B- B
After TC: Tate George SG 22 6'5'' 190 C+ C+ C B+ C+ B(-1)
Lot of people were surpised that Tate went this late in the draft and thought the Bullets got a steal. Odin has other ideas, and so Tate heads to the wrong side of the ledger in TC.
21. Warriors (from 76ers) - Gerald Glass SF 6'5'' 221 23 B C C- B C B
After TC: Gerald Glass SF 23 6'5'' 221 B C C- B C+ B(+1)
After successfully acquiring all the PGs last Season, Devine's new strategy appears to be collect all the SFs. Devine now has 3 SFs drafted in the first round the last two drafts. Mr. Glass looks like ass.
22. Clippers (from Cavaliers via Hawks) - Chris Jackson PG 6'1'' 162 21 C+ B C C+ D+ A
After TC: Chris Jackson PG 21 6'1'' 162 C+ B+ C B- D+ A(+2)
Good value pick from Dirt and he increased in a couple good areas, but those handles are shit tier. Maybe a name change would help him out.
23. Clippers (from Mavericks via Hawks) - Terry Mills PF 6'10'' 230 22 C B D+ C+ B- B
After TC: Terry Mills PF 22 6'10'' 230 C+ B D+ B- B- A(+2, +1 potential)
Fantastic pick this late, and Mills is also +1 at Center. Really interesting scoring grades if Dirt does choose to play him at C.
24. Nuggets (from Supersonics) - Jerrod Mustaf PF 6'10'' 238 21 C+ D+ D+ B- B B
After TC: Jerrod Mustaf PF 21 6'10'' 238 C+ D+ D+ B B B(+1)
Another Nuggets pick, another defense only PF. Not much difference here compared to Antonio Davis, and might end up the better of the two.
25. Timberwolves - Jud Buechler SG 6'6'' 220 22 C+ C+ C+ C+ C+ B
After TC: Jud Buechler SG 22 6'6'' 220 B- B- C+ C+ C+ A(+2, +1 potential)
MOCK TRIAL...with JUD REINHOLD! Ian's late first rounder shows some promise, and will be interesting to see if that A potential is just the software messing with us or if the Jud continues to improve.
26. Kings (from Magic) - Tyrone Hill PF 6'9'' 240 22 B D+ D- B- B+ C
After TC: Tyrone Hill PF 22 6'9'' 240 B+ D+ F+ C+ B+ C(-1)
I doubt Tyrone and his F+ handles, C+ defense won't see the floor much for the Kings, but his inside and rebounding are top notch. Still, Tyrone Biggumz has a better shot of making it in the league.
27. Celtics (from Bucks via Thunder) - Steve Henson PG 5'11'' 177 22 C B C+ C+ D+ B
After TC: Steve Henson PG 22 5'11'' 177 C B B- C+ D+ B(+1)
The muppeteer should stick to his day job, nothing to see here.
28. Hawks (from Lakers) - Travis Mays PG 6'2'' 190 22 B- B- B- C+ C- C
After TC: Travis Mays PG 22 6'2'' 190 B- B B C+ C- C(+2)
Travis has some solid scoring grades, but will probably just remain cap-filler during his career.
29. Nets (from Kings) - Alaa Abdelnaby PF 6'10'' 240 23 C+ C- D+ C+ C+ B
After TC: Alaa Abdelnaby PF 23 6'10'' 240 C+ C- D+ B C+ A(+2, +1 potential)
Scat closes out the first round with an intriguing pick. Still not much to look at now, but check back in a couple of years and we may end up singing Alaa's praises.
After TC: Gary Payton PG 21 6'4'' 175 B C B A- C A (+2)
Gary got a couple solid bumps to his already stout defense grade and his handles. Would've been nice to see a bump in outside, but overall a nice TC for the [HASH]1 pick
