Sorry for lack of pictures doing this mobile at work.
This isn't necessarily what I think will happen. More of what I'd do in this situation for the teams
1.bullets - Russell Westbrook
I have the bullets selecting Westbrook. Yes they already have the beast kyrie , but when you scrap your roster like they did you go bpa. And while I think Westbrook is a pg all the way one of them will easily be able to slide over to sg. Westbrook is the clear #1 Imo
2. Lakers - Kevin Love
Buster did something similar to kn in gutting his roster. Love has sexy scoring grades but suspect defense. He is likely on the Kaminsky track which can be scary. He's likely to have shit shot blocking but will be able to fill it up. Big fan of love here
3.Hornets - Derrick Rose
Another really bad looking team with only 1 future building block currently on the roster. You go bpa here and I have Rose in that spot. Starts off with great inside which is tough to get for a pg. Only problem I forsee is turnovers, I think Rose along with Westbrook will have high turnover rates.
4. Bucks - Oj Mayo
I struggled picking here. Falling outside of the top 3. I'd likely try to package a couple of my prospects and this pick to move. Up for Love. I have a lot of flexibility moving forward. I went with probably the best looking guard. Has elite scoring grades for a young sg . Would have to hope his defense develops.
5. Utah Jazz - Michael Beasley
This is obviously a risky pick for a gm who drafted some busty players the past draft. I almost snagged him for myself at 4. I loved him in college and he has a real high ceiling in this league. Similar to Williams who busted last year. Love those possible stretch 4's though. I don't see Spl taking him. He will be a Buck imo
6. Thunder - Danilo Gallinari
Gbg finally has a lottery pick of his own. I've got him slated to take a high upside wing. Like all the prospects he's young. But he's got great size for a sf/sg. He's similar on build to Tobias Harris whom I drafted last year. I'd probably snag Danilo if he dropped to 7.
7. Bucks (clipper pick) - Serge Ibaka
I finally grab a big that I wanted this draft. He's very similar to biyombo which is kind of shItty but he will likely have less turnovers. Not a high upside pick by any means, but with all these future maxes I'm going to have to give out I will need to draft some role players to save $.Sucks man
8. Warriors - Nicolas Batum
Just a few pieces off from being a playoff team taco selects Batum. Has tremendous size for a potential sg and I'd guess his true potential is likely an A . Probably will be one of the better players in the draft when it all unfolds.
9.Magic - Roy Hibbert
They have some really nice pieces despite getting unlucky with high picks. I really like what he's doing in Orlando. He's really a scoring big and competent big man away. He's already got bigs, but they aren't threats to score. Which is why I have him selecting Hibbert of the b pot big guys in this draft I like him the most. Should have elite shot blocking to go with his can't miss size which if utilized correctly will help him always shoot at a good clip.
10. Nuggets - Brook Lopez
Bankz has long term guys at pg ,sg,sf but more questionable guys at pf and c. I got him taking Lopez. He could probably go for more of a high ceiling guy but brook should score at a decent rate and you can always use depth down low.
11. Bulls ( Knicks pick)- Ryan Anderson
I've got Bruns selecting a tweener. He's got a great build and size. I could see bankz easily taking Anderson then bruns selecting Lopez. Bruns is set at pg and sg for awhile. Could use another big or project to work on.
12.Magic ( Celtics pick) - Eric Gordon
Magic picked this up from me last year. I've got them possibly getting the steal of the draft in Gordon a 2.0 great. He's young , but his grades don't jump out at you. I think he's probably fringe on his grades and will have very high potential. A good combo. Will have the best Tc
13. Bullets ( heat pick) - DeAndre Jordan.
Of the remaining players I think he's the most sure thing. Will have elite jumping and shot blocking out of the gates. Has great size. Will be terrible at the line. You know what you will be getting. And won't hurt the future tank.
Possible steal - George Hill. Little older than all the young guns but he's got great size for a pg. I like him quite a bit
Will bust hard - JaVale - has 3 really bad looking grades for a center
Biggest boom or bust - Beasley - self explanatory
Highest grade in class - Russell Westbrook quickness and DeAndre Jordan jumping
Lowest grade - Jordan Outside
Overall thoughts - A fantastic looking class , only worry is that Eric tweaks a little to much and it's not as good as it should be.
