Total Non-Potential Grade Gains (68; +43 first round and +25 second round)
Total Potential Gains (+10; +5 first round and +5 second round)
Round 1
1. Rockets-Darrell Floyd PG 6'2'' 180 22
B- B B- C+ C B
B- B B- B- C A (+1, +1 potential)
Not the best TC of this rookie class, but based on where Darrell started, he didn't need much to solidify himself as the top pick. He looks like a long-term solution at PG for Dil.
2. Timberwolves-Gregor Clegane C 7'1'' 260 19
B+ C- D+ B B B
A- C- D+ B A- A (+3, +1 potential)
Well here is the next great big. Chances are good Gregor had a dream-teen TC given the +3 and potential increase.
3. Pacers-Bill Russell C 6'11'' 240 22
B- D+ D+ A- A C
C+ D+ D+ A- A C (-1)
Some GMs think going -1 is a positive going forward, but I'm not so sure. C+ to C, or C to C- inside with those rebounding/defense grades is outstanding, but I think I'd rather have seen an increase to B inside out of Bill. That said, he's still an immediate impact on the defensive end and, with the right SC/RCs (lol), he could be an outstanding big man.
4. Clippers-Willie Nauls SF 6'6'' 230 22
B- B C- C+ B- B
B- B D+ B B A (+2, +1 potential)
Other than his handling, Nauls looks a lot like Niang did after his first TC. Dirt got a very nice looking prospect here.
5. Grizzlies-Si Green PG 6'2'' 185 22
B- C+ C+ B C A
C+ B- C+ A- C A (+2)
The Report was very high on Si, and I think they are right. Given that handling and passing are two of the fastest growing attributes for PG, that C+ handling is only temporary and Green has great defense and rebounding for a PG.
6. Thunder (from Nuggets)-Maurice Stokes PF 6'8'' 245 21
B C- C B- B+ B
B C- C B+ A- B (+3)
Fuck everything. Stokes goes +3 is all the right grades. Fuck. Everything.
7. Celtics-Tom Gola SG 6'6'' 205 22
B- C+ C- B- C+ B
B- C+ D+ B- C+ A (-1, +1 potential)
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooola! Dump adds another turnover machine to the tanking juggernaut.
8. Cavaliers-Walter Devlin SG 6'6'' 200 24
C+ B- C+ C+ C+ B
C+ B- B- B- C+ B (+2)
Could Devlin make it to B+ handling and be the next great PG? Stay tuned!
9. Bulls (Spurs)-Marques Haynes PG 6'0'' 170 23
B- C A C+ C- B
B- C+ A B- C- B (+2)
I really like this TC for Haynes. Getting the bump to C+ means he is quickly on his way to higher ground.
10. Bucks (from Bobcats)-Johnny McCarthy PG 6'2'' 190 22
C+ B- C+ C+ C A
C+ B C+ C+ C A (+1)
Trof has got to be disappointed in this TC, but on the bright side he's got Conley . . . what's that, Canes was too cheap to make those deals happen?
11. Clippers (from Bulls)-Tom Heinsohn PF 6'8'' 235 22
B C- D+ B- B+ C
B- C- C- B- A- B (+1, +1 potential)
What a weird TC. -1 in inside and rebounding, +3 defense. I'd like to know how that happened. Hopefully it's all jumping.
12. Hawks-Ian Boyd SG 6'7'' 211 21
C B- D+ C C A
C B C- B- C A (+4)
Many GMs rightly mocked this pick. It looks a little better with the +4, but it's still a horrible pick.
13. Pacers (from Magic)-Al Ferrari SG 6'4'' 200 22
C+ C+ C B- C A
C+ C+ C B+ C B (+2, -1 potential)
These scoring grades are so frustrating. See, e.g., Will Walls.
14. Pacers (from Warriors)-Jack Twyman SF 6'7'' 225 21
B- C- C- C+ B B
C+ C C- B- B B (+1)
Not a whole lot going JW's way this TC. B rebounding at SF is promising, though.
15. Bucks (from Raptors)-Ron Sobieszczyk SG 6'4'' 190 22
C+ C+ C B- C A
C+ C+ C B- C A (even)
Nothing haappening here. Too bad, I liked that last name.
16. Knicks-Dick Garmaker SG 6'3'' 200 22
C B C+ B- C- B
C+ B+ C+ B+ C A (+4, +1 potential)
The steal of the draft goes to eric. With Garmaker on board, the Knicks prospects of making the playoffs the next 4 seasons look promising.
17. Hawks (from Suns)-Dick Ricketts PF 6'7'' 245 21
C- C- C- B B- A
C C- C- B+ B- A (+2)
I really like this pick. RW would have been happier with the +1 in the outside scoring grade, but I think Ricketts has the potential to be an efficent defense/rebounding only big in TMBSL.
18. Nuggets (from Blazers)-Jerry Bird SF 6'7'' 215 22
B- C+ C- C+ C B
B- C+ C- B- C+ A (+2, +1 potential)
Larry's lesser known cousin, Jerry, has himself a pretty good TC.
19. Hawks (from Kings)-Ed Conlin SF 6'7'' 215 22
B- C C C+ C+ A
B- C+ C B- C+ A (+2)
Another +2 TC for the Hawks. RW is collecting quite a number of mediocre players.
20. Kings (from Jazz)-Bob Hopkins PF 6'9'' 215 22
C+ C C+ B- B B
B- C C+ B- B B (+1)
Now this is where you'd like to see a big's inside grade go down. +1 inside, and nothing on the defensive or rebounding fronts, is not what 20s was looking for out of this pick.
21. Suns (from Bucks)-Chuck Mencel PG 6'0'' 175 22
C C+ B C+ C A
C C+ B+ B- C A (+2)
Ankly was obviously trying to find a replacement for Oscar and Bossert in this draft. This is his first attempt, and it looks promising.
22. Nuggets (from Sonics)-Howard Sessums SF 6'9'' 225 22
C+ B- D B- C B
C+ B D B C B (+2)
Good TC from Sessums. Nothing elite here, but he could become a productive player in TMBSL with those scoring grades and defense.
23. Grizzlies (from Nets)-Lennie Small C 7'3'' 300 23
B- C- C- B C+ B
B- C- C B B- C (+2, -1 potential)
Druce has got to be disappointed with this TC. The good news is that Lennie might pass instead of taking shots. The bad news is he won't be rebounding many misses.
24. Heat-Joe Holup SF 6'7'' 220 22
B- C- D+ C+ B- A
B- C C- B- B- A (+3)
Hollllll up! The next episode of great SFs may be in this draft, but it's not Joe. He could be a decent back up.
25. Timberwolves (from Lakers)-James Dial PG 6'2" 214 22
C B B B D+ C
C B B B- D+ C (-1)
I would have drafted him at 2.3. I didn't do much better, but I'm glad he didn't blow up (for my sake - feel bad for AO).
26. Bulls (from Hornets)-Jesse Arnelle PF 6'9'' 200 22
B C- D+ C+ B- A
B- C- D C+ B- B (-2, -1 potential)
The first true bust. Sorry bruns.
27. Bobcats (from Bullets)-Dickie Hemric SF 6'7'' 230 22
B C C- B- B C
B C+ C- B+ B C (+3)
Hemric has a very nice TC. As long as he's not competing for dunk contests, Odin has himself another contributing wing.
28. Suns (from Sixers)-Dick Boushka SG 6'4'' 270 24
C C+ C+ C C+ B
C- B- C+ C+ C+ B (+1)
The first SG pick from Ank in the attempt to replace Bosssert. Not great with the drop to C- inside.
29. Suns (from Thunder)- Ed Fleming SG 6'4'' 195 22
B- C C C+ C+ B
B- C C C+ C A (-1, +1 potential)
The second SG pick from Ank in the attempt to replace Bosssert. At least the drop was in rebounding. Still not a promising TC.

C+ C+ D+ B+ C- C (-2)
4. Timberwolves-Norm Stewart SG 6'5" 205
C C+ C B C B
C B- C B+ C A (+2, +1 potential)
The former Missouri player and long-time headcoach has a nice little TC.
5. Lakers (from Grizzlies)-Swede Halbrook C 7'3'' 250 20
C C- D+ B B- C
C C- D+ B+ B- B (+1, +1 potential)

11. Bullets (from Hawks)-Jim Paxson SF 6'7'' 205 24
B- C+ C- C+ C B
B- B- D+ B C B (+2)
The soup special looks like he could have a future in sim league.
12. Timberwolves (from Bulls)-Bob Burrow PF 6'8'' 240 22
B- C- D+ B- B- C
B C- D+ B- B B (+2, +1 potential)
Good looking TC from Bob. Too bad AO dropped him before TC. :(
13. Magic-Dave Piontek PF 6'7'' 235 22
C+ D+ D+ B- B- B
C D+ D B B A (even, +1 potential)
Great TC for JHB. That's what you want to see from a defense/rebounding only big.
14. Raptors-Forest Able PG 6'3'' 185 24
C C+ B B D+ C
C C+ B+ B D+ C (+1)
15. Warriors-Jack Stephens SG 6'4'' 190 22

20. Kings-Hal Lear PG 6'0'' 185 21
C C+ B- C+ D+ A
C B B+ B- C- A (+6)
Best rookie TC goes to Hal Lear. One has to wonder if this is the prospect Soup was shocked was still around at the beginning of the second round.

B- C C- C+ C+ B

C- C C B- C A
C- C+ C+ B+ C A (+4)
Good looking TC for the former grand master - but that C- inside grade (especially with the C rebounding) is a little head scratching. He could be great.

C+ C- D B C B
