2014 Draft Grades - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

Lets see how some teams did during last week..

Los Angeles Clippers - A+.

The Clippers nailed with all of their picks , Oudry Kisamba might turn out to be their franchise player in his rookie year , Miklas Magnussen is a defense stopper stud and Brian Mink looks like a great value for a 2nd round pick .. also they managed to trade hibbert big contract for an expiring one (Bosh) and get a future first .
great job..

Minnesota Timberwolevs - A.

The Minnesota Timberwolevs had the 4th pick with 8th , i think that in both they picked the best players they could have had , Martin Sharp is what the wolves needed - a big guy who defend well and rebound and Linos Chrysikopoulos should be the 2nd best international player out from this draft .. should be interesting how far the wolves will go thi season .

Milwaukee Bucks - A-.

Also the Milwaukee Bucks had 2 high picks and they seemed to did the right calls on both.
Abrines is a young stud with a lot of future ahead of him and Lucas Nogueira (nickname "Bebe" ) is the right player to put next to Cody Zeller .. they get here only A- cause i feel they could have find a trade for calderon instead of letting him go on TO.. but maybe im wrong ..

Sacramento Kings - B+.

Amir Jones was kind of an obvious pick qith the first pick i feel like every other GM would have taken him so thats why the Kings only getting here B+.. good pick .

St.Louis Warriors - B.

Why? the Warriors didn't like the talent that they projected in the 10th pick so they traded down to the 18th pick and got the Pros 15 first that they send with Kemba Walker to get one of FRSL best SF - Rudy Gay ... also with the 18th pick they drafted Dan Hershey a nice PG with great 3p shooting ability .. exactly what the Warriors needed , good job by their GM.

Orlando Magic - B-.

The Magic have so much talent but they really need to add some depth to their bigs rotation and Alex Paspalj is a very good value for the 19th pick.
not the greatest offense player but he is a nice rebounder and shotblocker and play some good D .. and that is what the Magic need - a hard working rotation player to play along side all their stars.

Indiana Pacers - C.

The Indiana Pacers had 2 top 6 picks (5 & 6) and they did pretty good with drafting Steve Andres who should be beasting for them but i can't really understand the Tommy Lister pick .. i think they could have picked better players with the 6th pick thats why they get here - C.

Washington Bullets - D+.

The Washington Bullets had the 7th pick and it was clear that they are looking for a big guy to pair up with Noel .. dont get me wrong here Hubert Sampson is a solid player but they could have pick better player at this pick ,Alex Paspalj ,Lucas Nogueira abd even James Rino would have been a better pick for the Bullets.

Oklahoma City Thunder - D.

I just dont like the Jacky Biber pick .. probably the Oklahoma City Thunder didnt scout him well , they surely could have pick better here .. The GOOD NEWS FOR THE Thunder is that they have a huge amount of free money to spend at Free Agency.

Nice read...Clippers are the definite winners of this year's draft. Great value with each one of their picks.

How fast is this sim going? Year 2104 already..

Yeah, I didn't scout Biber's 3ga or 3g%, and really just had him on my list because of his overall grade... I was assuming he'd be off the board by the time I picked at 9. Looks like a wasted pick as of now.

My 2nd first round pick, Billy Moore, seems like a guy I can use.

yeah you are right.. i didn't even pay attention to the Moore pick..good passer and very solid + D player

Smath · 07-03-2012, 03:37 AM

Moore is a very nice pick! Justin Biber though

Roturn · 07-03-2012, 04:41 AM

True point. If I remember correct Sampson was the 4th PF/C option for me and the others have been picked before. And then I had thought Sampson would be better then the other mentioned players...
