1st Round
1. Cavs - Benji Wilson SG/SF 6’7 180 B- B C+ B C+ A
Benji Wilson SF 19 6'8'' 180 B B+ C+ B C A
(+1)
Breakdown: One of the most anticipated players to come in the league in some time had a very average TC. +1 to Inside and Outside gives Shaun a nice looking prospect for years to come. Might not end up being LeBron but he should be a good one.
2. Spurs - Len Bias SF 6'8 225 B- B C B- C+ A
Len Bias SF 21 6'8'' 230 B- B+ C B+ B- B
(+4, -1 Pot)
Breakdown: Len had a very strong TC. +1 to his outside, +2 to his defense and a bump in rebounding has Victor feeling tingly all over. A drop in potential would not worry me as we have seen elite players have this happen very early on in their respective careers.
3. Bullets - Brad Daugherty C 7' 265 A- C- C- B- B B
Brad Daugherty C 20 7'0'' 270 A- C- C- B A- B
(+3)
Breakdown: Brad had a nice set of grades coming into the league as a 19 year old. A +2 to his rebounding will make him a force for years to come on the boards. Kn would've probably liked some improvement to his defense but overall not a bad TC. And since i'm a idiot Brad did improve his defense. Great TC for this former UNC Legend.
4. Magic - Ron Harper PG/SG 6'6 200 B+ C C+ B- C+ A
Ron Harper SG 22 6'6'' 200 B+ C C+ B C+ A
(+1)
Breakdown: I was shocked to see JHB go with Ron Harper at this slot. Figured he would go Sabonis with his long rebuild ahead but he rolled the dice on Harper. And it really did not pay off. Probably a SG since his handles did not improve and only a slight improvement to defense will leave a sour taste in JHBs mouth.
5. Nuggets - Drazen Petrovic SG 6'5 200 C+ B C B- C A
Drazen Petrovic SG 21 6'5'' 200 C+ B+ C B+ C A
(+3)
Breakdown: I made no bones about it. I was taken Drazen if he fell... And fell he did. Thankfully this wasn't a crash and burn. Drazen improves his outside shot and defense. Making a strong play for early minutes in the mile high city.
6. Wolves - Chuck Person SF 6'8 220 C+ B+ C- C+ C+ A
Chuck Person SF 21 6'8'' 220 B- A- C- C+ C+ B
(+2, -1 pot)
Breakdown: Chuck Person looked like a scoring only prospect coming into the draft and after TC he delivered on that scouting report. Improving his inside and outside shot he may be the best scoring wing player in this class. A drop in potential is not a issue but his defense may be. Time to invest some dump dollars Ayyoe.
7. Hornets - Arvydas Sabonis C 7'3 280 B C C B B- A
Arvydas Sabonis C 22 7'3'' 285 B C C B B+ A
(+2)
Breakdown: Sabonis dropped in this draft and in large part it was due to the fact GMs were unsure if he would be able to come to the states and show off his skills. +2 to his rebound allows Sabonis a chance to still develop into a solid big. But no increases in any other spot would have me a bit concerned.
8. Warriors - Roy Tarpley PF/C 6'11 265 B C D+ B B- A
Roy Tarpley PF 21 6'11'' 265 B C D+ B+ B A
(+2)
Breakdown: Improvement to the big man grades will sit well with TacoSa1ad. Tarpley is well on his way to becoming a solid big man in this league.
9. Bulls (via Sixers) - Dell Curry SG 6'4 190 C+ B+ C C+ C B
Dell Curry SG 21 6'4'' 190 C A- C B- C+ B
(+2)
Breakdown: Rumors swirling around the league have Curry sitting at 65 potential pre draft. If true he probably maxed himself out this TC. +1 to his outside is nice. He probably will stroke it from distance. +1 to his defense and rebounding is also nice but I'm sure Bruns would love that -1 to his Inside to have flipped. Curious to what Dell's 2nd TC looks like.
10. Pacers - Dennis Rodman PF 6'7 210 D+ D C- A A D
Dennis Rodman SF 24 6'7'' 215 D+ D+ C- A+ A D
(+2)
Breakdown: The Worm turned up his rebounding grade this TC. Some felt it should of been A+ going into the draft but a little TC love gave the league what it wanted. He kept his A defense grade so he should play in the sim league a lot like he did IRL. Nice pick JW as I did attempted to talk you out of making it.
11. Nuggets (via Celtics) - Mark Price PG 6' 170 C+ B C+ C+ D+ A
Mark Price PG 21 6'0'' 170 C+ A- B B- C- A
(+6)
Breakdown: Price was a big topic of conversation during the draft. Some GMs (dump) questioned why Bankz would select Price when Brandon was on the roster. But Price made his owner proud with one of the best TCs in the draft. A huge +6 makes Price the steal of the draft. +2 outside, +2 Handles, +1 defense and rebounding and staying at A potential. The Price is right bitch!
12. Magic (via Jazz) - Logan Kim C 6'11'' 278 18 B C+ C- B B- B
Logan Kim C 18 7'0'' 283 B- C+ C- B- B+ A
(+1 Pot)
Breakdown: Software players can sometimes be fools gold. Mr. Kim may be just that. A net neutral TC for JHBs youngster has you feeling like Kim may not live up to his billing. Improving his Potential with a cpu generated rookie leaves hope for the future. Still for a 18 year old the grade set is solid.
13. Nuggets (via Kings) - Chris Washburn C 6'11'' 250 20 B D+ C- B C+ A
Chris Washburn C 20 6'11'' 250 B+ D+ C- B C+ B
(+1, -1 pot)
Breakdown: Washburn was labeled a boom or bust prospect. Early returns have him being a bust. A +1 to his inside is always nice. But no improved to his rebounding when it was badly needed and no improvement to his defense makes him a long shot to ever crack the Nuggets rotation. Someone better light a fire under his ass and not on the blunts he is likely smoking right now.
14. Knicks - Brad Sellers PF 7'0'' 210 23 C+ B- D+ C+ B- B
Brad Sellers PF 23 7'0'' 210 C+ B- D C+ C+ A
(-1, +1 Pot)
Breakdown: A request for name changed was denied. I'm curious of Eric would request a redo on this selection. -1 rebounding for Sellers and no other improvements make his TC sad. A boost to potential may leave a glimmer of hope for the future.
15. Cavs (via Raptors) - William Bedford C 7'0'' 235 22 B D+ D+ B+ B- A
William Bedford C 22 7'0'' 240 B- D+ D+ B+ B B
(-1 pot)
Breakdown: I told Shaun after this selection I was torn between Bedford and Washburn. Well the jokes on the two of us as both are shitty. Not much to see here so we can just move on.
16. Hornets (via Grizzlies) - Kenny Walker SF 6'8'' 210 21 B C+ C+ C+ B- A
Kenny Walker SF 21 6'8'' 210 B C+ C C+ B- B
(-1 pot)
Breakdown: Soup declared on the podcast "there will never be another Skywalker" and he held true to his word.
17. Hornets (via Bucks) - Johnny Newman SG 6'7'' 190 23 C+ B- C- C+ C A
Johnny Newman SG 23 6'7'' 190 C+ C+ C C+ C A
(NN)
Breakdown: Rv's second selection didn't fare much better than his first. Going to be a long rebuild in Charlotte.
18. Kings (via Bobcats) - Kevin Duckworth C 7'0'' 305 22 C+ C- C B+ B A
Kevin Duckworth C 22 7'0'' 305 C+ C- C B+ B+ B
(+1, -1 pot)
Breakdown: Duckworth did just about nothing. This seems to be the theme of this class. Very small to no improvements. Duckworth does improve his rebounding but has a drop in potential. This is nothing to quack about (i'll see myself out)
19. Nuggets (via Clippers) - Max Willis C 7'4'' 286 22 C+ D+ C A- C+ A
Max Willis C 22 7'4'' 286 C+ D+ C A- C+ B
(-1 pot)
Breakdown: Both Nuggets big men have a case of the lazy. Neither did much this TC and both look destined to ride the duration of their contracts on the bench.
20. Warriors (via Rockets) - John Salley PF 6'11'' 245 21 C D B- B+ B- A
John Salley C 21 6'11'' 250 C D B- B+ B- A
(NC)
Breakdown: Salley did nothing. I guess nothing is better than something bad???
21. Jazz (via Hawks) - Chase Traylor SG 6'6'' 214 22 C B+ B- C+ C- A
Chase Traylor SG 22 6'6'' 214 C A- C+ C+ C- B
(-1 pot)
Breakdown: Chase may develop into a nice three point threat in this league. A bump to his outside hopefully allows him to be useful. -1 to handles probably kicks any chance of turning Taylor into a PG down the trash. -1 Potential is the final kick to the balls for SPL.
22. Sixers (via Heat) - Nate McMillan PG 6'5'' 195 22 C+ C B+ B+ C- B
Nate McMillan PG 22 6'5'' 195 C+ C A- B+ C- A
(+1, +1 pot)
Breakdown: Sixers may have found a gem late in the first round. McMillan looks like a pass first PG. Solid defense and a bump to potential gives Fason some hope he may have found his PG of the future.
23. Magic (via Blazers) - Joe Sanchez C 7'0'' 256 23 C D+ D- B B A
Joe Sanchez C 23 7'0'' 256 C+ C- D- B+ B+ B
(+4, -1 pot)
Breakdown: Let's be honest JHB couldn't be super happy with his first two selections TC's. But Joe Sanchez should change that. A strong +4 pumps some life into this prospect. One might be worried he maxed it out with his potential taking a hit. None the less Sanchez looks to be a solid rotation big man for this Magic squad.
24. Jazz (via Suns) - Jose Rice PG 6'0'' 183 19 C B- B+ B- D B
Jose Rice PG 19 6'1'' 183 C B A- B- D- A
(+1, +1 pot)
Breakdown: Jose Rice is a cool name. And Jose had a strong TC. +1 to his outside and +1 to handles makes Jose a very promising prospect for the Jazz. Good find SPL.
25. Hawks (via Bulls) - George Dreiling C 7'1'' 280 24 C D+ C B- B+ B
George Dreiling C 24 7'1'' 280 C D+ C+ B- A- C
(+2, -1 pot)
Breakdown: RW looks to have found a solid defensive big man late in the draft. A drop from B potential to C might mean George is maxed out. But he should still be able to contribute for the Hawks. Hey RW you should stop by shout sometime and interact with us.
26. Sixers (via Sonics) - Buck Johnson SF 6'7'' 190 22 B B- C- C C+ B
Buck Johnson SF 22 6'7'' 195 B+ B- C C+ C+ B
(+3)
Breakdown: This young buck has been traded to the Jazz. A solid TC might have Johnson stick around for sometime. Good scoring grades so let's see how he on the court.
27. Cavs (via Lakers) - Johnny Dawkins PG 6'2'' 185 22 C+ C+ C+ B- D+ C
Johnny Dawkins PG 22 6'2'' 185 C+ C+ B- B- C- A
(+2, +2 pot)
Breakdown: I'm going to assume the draft file had the incorrect potential posted. If not this is a great boost for Shaun. Seems like most of the improvements to some of these players is going to rebounding. Not sure how the +1 to Dawkins rebounding will help but time will tell
28. Knicks (via Nets) - Larry Krystkowiak PF 6'9'' 260 22 B- C- D+ C+ B B
Larry Krystkowiak C 22 6'9'' 260 B- C- D+ B- B B
(+1)
Breakdown: Eric built this class and well.. he's getting shit on by the players he created.
29. Thunder - Chuck Childs SG 6'8'' 228 21 C B- C B C- A
Chuck Childs SG 21 6'8'' 228 C B- C B C- B
(-1 pot)
Breakdown: The Thunder finally miss on a late round pick. The Dynasty is crumbling... well one can dream right?
2nd Round
1. Grizzlies (via Magic) - Anthony Jones SG 6'6'' 195 24 C+ C+ C B+ C- B
Anthony Jones SG 24 6'6'' 195 C+ C+ C B C- B

3. Spurs - Jeff Hornacek SG 6'3'' 190 23 C B B- C+ D+ A
Jeff Hornacek SG 23 6'3'' 190 C+ A- B B- D+ B
(+5, -1 pot)
Breakdown: 1st round talent that slipped. Victor had a really good draft.

Breakdown: Chase may develop into a nice three point threat in this league. A bump to his outside hopefully allows him to be useful. -1 to handles probably kicks any chance of turning Taylor into a PG down the trash. -1 Potential is the final kick to the balls for SPL.
22. Sixers (via Heat) - Nate McMillan PG 6'5'' 195 22 C+ C B+ B+ C- B
Nate McMillan PG 22 6'5'' 195 C+ C A- B+ C- A
(+1, +1 pot)
Breakdown: Sixers may have found a gem late in the first round. McMillan looks like a pass first PG. Solid defense and a bump to potential gives Fason some hope he may have found his PG of the future.
23. Magic (via Blazers) - Joe Sanchez C 7'0'' 256 23 C D+ D- B B A
Joe Sanchez C 23 7'0'' 256 C+ C- D- B+ B+ B
(+4, -1 pot)
Breakdown: Let's be honest JHB couldn't be super happy with his first two selections TC's. But Joe Sanchez should change that. A strong +4 pumps some life into this prospect. One might be worried he maxed it out with his potential taking a hit. None the less Sanchez looks to be a solid rotation big man for this Magic squad.
24. Jazz (via Suns) - Jose Rice PG 6'0'' 183 19 C B- B+ B- D B
Jose Rice PG 19 6'1'' 183 C B A- B- D- A
(+1, +1 pot)
Breakdown: Jose Rice is a cool name. And Jose had a strong TC. +1 to his outside and +1 to handles makes Jose a very promising prospect for the Jazz. Good find SPL.
25. Hawks (via Bulls) - George Dreiling C 7'1'' 280 24 C D+ C B- B+ B
George Dreiling C 24 7'1'' 280 C D+ C+ B- A- C
(+2, -1 pot)
Breakdown: RW looks to have found a solid defensive big man late in the draft. A drop from B potential to C might mean George is maxed out. But he should still be able to contribute for the Hawks. Hey RW you should stop by shout sometime and interact with us.
26. Sixers (via Sonics) - Buck Johnson SF 6'7'' 190 22 B B- C- C C+ B
Buck Johnson SF 22 6'7'' 195 B+ B- C C+ C+ B
(+3)
Breakdown: This young buck has been traded to the Jazz. A solid TC might have Johnson stick around for sometime. Good scoring grades so let's see how he on the court.
27. Cavs (via Lakers) - Johnny Dawkins PG 6'2'' 185 22 C+ C+ C+ B- D+ C
Johnny Dawkins PG 22 6'2'' 185 C+ C+ B- B- C- A
(+2, +2 pot)
Breakdown: I'm going to assume the draft file had the incorrect potential posted. If not this is a great boost for Shaun. Seems like most of the improvements to some of these players is going to rebounding. Not sure how the +1 to Dawkins rebounding will help but time will tell
28. Knicks (via Nets) - Larry Krystkowiak PF 6'9'' 260 22 B- C- D+ C+ B B
Larry Krystkowiak C 22 6'9'' 260 B- C- D+ B- B B
(+1)
Breakdown: Eric built this class and well.. he's getting shit on by the players he created.
29. Thunder - Chuck Childs SG 6'8'' 228 21 C B- C B C- A
Chuck Childs SG 21 6'8'' 228 C B- C B C- B
(-1 pot)
Breakdown: The Thunder finally miss on a late round pick. The Dynasty is crumbling... well one can dream right?
