Round 1
1. 76ers - David Robinson C 7'1" 235 22 A- D+ D A A- C
1. 76ers - n/a
Fason channeled his inner Sam Hinkie and drafted a big man who will not contribute for the next two seasons, meaning he'll be able to keep his uber-tank going uninterrupted. See you in 3012, Admiral. Watch out for those Chechen rebels.
2. Pacers - Gary Bossert SG 23 6'4" 190 C+ B+ C B C A
2. Pacers - Gary Bossert SG 23 6'4'' 190 C+ A- C A- C A (+3)
The much-speculated Odin special proves not to be a smokescreen with this strong TC. Coupled with his preseason, Gary is clearly the cream of the crop in this rookie class. MJ is super jealous.
3. Blazers - Scottie Pippen SF 22 6'7" 210 B C C+ B B A
3. Blazers - Scottie Pippen SF 22 6'7'' 210 B C C+ B B+ B (+1, -1 potential)
Rebounding is likely not where Duc was hoping to see improvement, and a drop in potential is always scary. Hopefully Duc gives him some run the first couple sims, since he didn't get any minutes in pre-season.
4. Nuggets - Dennis Hopson SG 22 6'5" 200 B- B- C+ B- C+ A
4. Nuggets - Dennis Hopson SG 22 6'5'' 200 B- C+ C+ B C+ A (no change)
Increased defense is always nice no matter the position, but a drop in outside scoring as a rookie SG spells some serious trouble for Scottie. [HASH]BankzTank continues unabated.
5. Hawks - Kevin Johnson PG 21 6'1'' 180 B C+ B- C+ C- A
5. Hawks - Kevin Johnson PG 21 6'1'' 180 B- C+ B B C- B (+2, -1 potential)
The mayor has himself a weird TC. Drops in inside scoring and potential, but a significant defense bump to go with some shiny new handles. Can't wait to see him play 9 minutes a game behind Chris Duhon.
6. Celtics - Armen Gilliam PF 23 6'9'' 230 B+ C+ C- B- B- B
6. Celtics - Armen Gilliam PF 23 6'9'' 230 B+ C+ C- B- B B (+1)
Principal Seymour Skinner aka Armen Gilliam didn't have a flashy TC but he's still got some sweet sweet grades. Dump will look at the carnage a of the other rookies in this class and thank his lucky stars he landed Armen.
7. Pistons - Kenny Smith PG 22 6'3'' 170 C+ B B+ C+ D+ B
7. Pistons - Kenny Smith PG 22 6'3'' 170 C+ B B+ C+ D+ B (no change)
The Jet fails to take off this TC, better luck next time.
8. Nets - Reggie Miller SG 22 6'7" 185 C+ B+ C C+ C- B
8. Nets - Reggie Miller SG 22 6'7'' 185 C+ A- C C+ C C (+2, -1 potential)
Ian's 1.3 prospect, the unbustable Reggie Miller, has himself a pretty mediocre TC. A- outside as a rookie is nice, but minimal increases beyond that to go with a drop in potential. Don't worry though, Ian will still probably trade you Grant Hill for him.
9. Sonics - Mark Jackson PG 22 6'1'' 180 B- C+ A- B- D+ B
9. Sonics - Mark Jackson PG 22 6'1'' 180 B- B- A B- D+ B (+2)
Mama, there goes that man! Preacher Mark increases two important PG categories and has probably the best non-Bossert TC of the top ten. Or at least it would've been, if not for...
10. Kings - Athansios Cathasach PF 20 6'8'' 265 D C B C+ B B
10. Kings - Athansios Cathasach SF 20 6'8'' 265 D C+ B+ B- B+ B (+3, +4 after position change)
Catfish strikes again! The Cathasach household does nothing except pump out defense-only players. Athansios might not end up the force that Big Catfish is, but a +3 along with the bump in defense for his position change. Will he remain a defense-only SF? And will that have any value compared to the traditional defense-only big man? Time will tell.
11. Bulls - Derrick McKey SF 21 6'9" 205 B B- C- C+ C+ B
11. Bulls - Derrick McKey SF 21 6'9'' 205 B B- D+ C+ C+ C (-1, -1 potential)
Ouch. Odin shatters the speculation that McKey's alma mater might boost his grades, as Derrick shits the bed completely. He's still young compared to most of the class so the ship hasn't completely sailed, but this looks bleak.
12. Lakers - Bart Kofoed SG 23 6'4" 210 B- B- C B C B
12. Lakers - Bart Kofoed SG 23 6'4'' 210 B B- C B C B (+1)
Kofoed Annan gets an inside scoring bump. Yet another ho-hum TC for a lotto rookie.
13. Pistons - Reggie Lewis SG 22 6'7'' 195 B- C C B- C+ A
13. Pistons - Reggie Lewis SG 22 6'7'' 195 B- C+ C B C+ B (+2, -1 potential)
Reggie has a decent TC, outside scoring and defense are nice. Drop in potential but overall not a heartbreaking (
) TC
14. Mavericks - Muggsy Bogues PG 23 5'3" 138 C+ C+ A- A- D C
14. Mavericks - Muggsy Bogues PG 23 5'3'' 138 C+ B- A- A D B (+2, +1 potential)
Muggsy was one of my favorite players in this draft class, and it appears he may have been one of Odin's too. That's good news, because he's going to need TCs like these in order to overcome his miniature stature.
15. Hornets - Olden Polynice C 23 6'11" 220 B+ D D+ C B- A
15. Hornets - Olden Polynice C 23 6'11'' 220 C D D+ C B- B (-4, -1 potential)
Odin was not so Polynice in creating this prospect, as he was created at -4 of what he should've been. Olden gets an incomplete because of his grades issue.
16. Celtics - Chris Welp C 24 7'0" 245 B C- D+ B B- C
16. Celtics - Chris Welp C 24 7'0'' 245 B+ C- D+ B+ B B (+3, +1 potential)
Dump scores a nice find with Chris Welp, who looks like a borderline starter caliber already. A bump to potential as well hints that he may not be done improving. Nice pick.
17. Sonics - Reggie Williams SF 23 6'7" 190 B C+ C C+ B- B
17. Sonics - Reggie Williams SF 23 6'7'' 190 B C+ C C+ B- C (no change, -1 potential)
Another Reggie, another dose of bad news. No grade improvement and a drop in potential.
18. Kings - Brad Lohaus PF 23 6'11" 230 B C+ D+ B- C+ C
18. Kings - Brad Lohaus PF 23 6'11'' 230 B C+ D+ B- C+ C (no change)
Lo. Lohaus. Lohaus Mich.
19. Blazers - Dallas Comegys PF 23 6'9" 205 C+ C- D B+ C+ C
19. Blazers - Dallas Comegys PF 23 6'9'' 205 C+ C- D- B+ C+ C (-1)
Dallas Comegys has a great looking porn name, but not a great looking TC.
20. Cavaliers - Horace Grant PF 22 6'10" 215 B C- C- C B- B
20. Cavaliers - Horace Grant PF 22 6'10'' 215 B C- C- C B A (+1, +1 potential)
Horace pops on his rec specs and hits the gym, improving his rebounding skills and potential.
21. Bulls - Joe Wolf C 6'11" 230 23 B- B- C+ C C B
21. Bulls - Joe Wolf C 6'11'' 230 23 B B- C C C+ B (+1)
Joe improves his nice scoring grades and ups his rebounding. Drop in handles won't bother Bruns much.
22. Celtics - Chris Dudley C 22 6'11" 235 C F+ C- B B+ C
22. Celtics - Chris Dudley C 22 6'11'' 235 C F+ C- B A- C (+1)
Defense/rebounding specialist who gets an increase in rebounding. Always nice to see.
23. Sonics - Theofanis Christodoulou PF 22 6'8'' 250 B C- D+ C+ B B
23. Sonics - Theofanis Christodoulou PF 22 6'8'' 250 B C- C- C+ B B (+1)
Bump in handles makes for a pretty meh TC.
24. Nets - Benny Bolton SF 22 6'8'' 220 C+ B- C- C+ C+ B
24. Nets - Benny Bolton SF 22 6'8'' 220 C+ B- C- C C+ D (-1, -2 potential)
Benjamin Bolton's grades appear to have Benjamin Button disease, as they're getting worse and worse as time passes.
25. Raptors - Hansi Gnad C 24 6'10'' 243 B C- D B C+ B
25. Raptors - Hansi Gnad C 24 6'10'' 243 B C- D+ A- C+ B (+3)
That Hansi is so hot right now. A rebounding bump would be nice, but Toronto management are very proud of their Gnad.
26. Knicks - Jamie Dixon SG 21 6'4'' 185 C+ C+ C B- C B
26. Knicks - Jamie Dixon SG 21 6'4'' 185 B- C+ C B- C A (+1, +1 Potential)
A real coach on the floor, Jamie looks as slick as his hair.
27. Nets - Lester Fonville C 25 7'2" 245 B- D D B+ B- C
27. Nets - Lester Fonville C 25 7'2'' 245 B- D D A- B- C (+1)
Lester gets a defensive bump, not quite the cuddly housecat some might have expected.
28. Nuggets - Gay Elmore SG 22 6'5'' 210 C+ C+ C B C- A
28. Nuggets - Gay Elmore SG 22 6'5'' 210 C+ C+ C B- C- B (-1, -1 Potential)
The gay bashing continues as Mr. Elmore drops his defense and potential and Bankz continues to whiff on his draft picks.
29. Nets - Steve Alford PG 23 6'2" 183 B- B- C+ C+ D+ C
29. Nets - Steve Alford PG 23 6'2'' 183 B- B- C+ C+ D+ C (no change)
A fitting "no change" for the end of a very unspectacular rookie TC.
Players with gains: 18 out of 29
Players with drops: 5 out of 29
Players with no change: 6 out of 29
Players with added potential: 4 out of 29
Players with a loss of potential: 9 out of 29
Worst TC: Olden Polynice -4, but after grade fix probably Benny Bolton
Best TC: Gary Bossert/Baby Catfish/Chris Welp
