Every NBA Teams draft night rankings! (Eastern Rankings) please flame


These are rated by how much value they got for their pick and how smart they were with it. Also if I think these guys have good potential or not and fit what the team needed.

Boston Celtics: C

Celtics had 1 pick late in the first round and selected Hugo Gonzalez. I personally did not like this pick because he spent 5 years overseas playing and by playing I mean he averaged 5 points on 14 minutes a night and 2.4 fouls. He also has not improved his shooting at all and I do not think he will last in the league. The Celtics then traded for Amari Williams, a center from Kentucky who I think is the only reason this grade is above a D. I like this trade a lot and they do need a big guy on their team since Porzingis got traded.

Brooklyn Nets: C-

The Nets had 5 first round picks and it was pretty horrendous to be honest. Demin was taken to high but I did like it more than others and I can see it possibly turning out. But then after that, drafting Traore and Saraf was pretty bad in my opinion. One of the worst 3 point shooting teams and they do not care to get 1 good shooting gaurd. Then they get Drake Powell which was an okay pick and Danny Wolf which was good value. Overall pretty bad but those last 2 picks saved them.

New York Knicks: F

The Knicks not only lost their pick due to salary issues but with their 2nd pick, they traded it away and instead of Kobe Sanders, they got Mohamed Diawara which is possibly the biggest project in the draft. He can't shoot for anything and probably will not even play.

Philadelphia 76ers: A+

I could not be happier for 76ers fans, sure Ace Bailey denied workouts but getting VJ Edgecombe and Johni Broome with only 2 picks is very good. I really like the VJ fit and Johni Broome is NBA ready and can help them since the East will be wide open.

Toronto Raptors: B

I thought the Murray-Boyles pick was a bit to high and not what they needed. I thought that they should of gone for Maluach or Queen since Poeltl will most likely leave. In the second round though, they got Alijah Martin from Florida and that was a decent pick. In total, not anything to be mad at.

Chicago Bulls: B

The Bulls walked away with Noa Essengue and Lachlan Olbrich. 2 pretty good players who if they can develop a jumpshot, they will be good players. They got what they needed and now we just got to hope they can improve to become real players and not have Essengue become another Patrick Williams.

Cleveland Cavaliers: A-

Getting Tyrese Proctor at 49 is tremendous value and one of the biggest steals of the draft in my opinion. Then at 58 they got Saliou Niang which I do not know much about but he seems okay so pretty good draft from Cleveland.

Detroit Pistons: B+

Only one pick and that was a second round and they hit on it, selecting Chaz Lanier from Tennessee. One of the best shooters in the class and has a huge wingspan. Hopefully will help the Pistons become a Eastern Conference contender.

Pacers: C

I thought the Pacers had a first from the Pelicans and pacers swap but i guess not (if someone could update me, then please do) Assuming they just lost their pick, it goes down to a C. Kam Jones was a good draft night trade and I do not know anything about Taelon Peter from Liberty.

Milwuakee Bucks: B

The Bucks had 1 second round pick and got Bogoljub Markovic from Serbia. This seems like a decent pick as of right now but I do not know how much he will play and I hope he does well but I just do not like the situation he got drafted into behind Giannis. However this will help him develop and I could see it working out in the long run.

Atlanta Hawks: B-

A for Atlanta, the Hawks traded 1 down and got Asa Newell out of it. I really like this for them and a potential lob threat and a stretch 5 next to Trae Young is just what they needed. They finally decided to not go for a 6'8 wing and I love it. However when they traded Derik Queen out of Atlanta, it made this grade go down to a B-. I think Derik Queen will be a great player and I am dissapointed they traded him to New Orleans who especially already has Yves Missi.

Charlotte Hornets: A-

Finally, a respectable draft night from the Hornets. The Hornets ended up with Kon Knueppel, Liam McNeeley, Sion James and Ryan Kalkbrenner. The front office finally realized that they needed shooting and they got it. They also got rid of Mark Williams which as much as I liked him, it was time and we kinda screwed the Suns, ngl. Only thing I did not like was the whole drama between Ace Bailey before which made us get Knueppel instead of Edgecombe but it should still work out. Also I would of prefered Raynaud over Kalkbrenner but Kalkbrenner is a better defender so it should be fine.

Miami Heat: A+

Heatles fans, be happy. Yall had 1 pick and yall got one of the biggest steals in the draft. At number 20, the Heat selected Kasparas Jakucionis from Lithuania and Illinois University and I was surprised he fell so low. Especially to an organization like the Heat who are great at developing prospects, people will regret it, mark my words.

Orlando Magic: B+

The Magic ended up with Jase Richardson and Noah Penda. I like the Richardson pick a lot and he is also a great steal in my opinion. Penda is a bit overrated in my eyes but we will see what they do with him. The Magic also got their sharp shooter in Jase Richardson. Only reason this would not be higher is because the Magic still need a real point gaurd who can run the offense.

Washington Wizards: B

They got Tre Johnson which is huge, however the wizards traded away Walter Clayton Jr and Micah Peavy which is not huge. Overall, an okay job from Washington.
