Draft Grades (Pacific)

[jms]

Golden State Warriors
Draft Picks:
3 - Brandan Wright PF 6'9'' 215 20 B D+ C- B C A
(2)4 - Dominic McGuire SG 6'8'' 210 22 C+ C C C+ C A
Now that Aaron is done crying. I can point out he did pretty nicely. Wright is a cornerstone to a franchise. He'll carry things in the bay area for years and doing nicely. and Dom McGuire could end up nice as well. Feeling better Aaron?
Grade:B+

Los Angeles Clippers
Draft Picks:
14 - Brandon Rush SG 6'6'' 210 22 C+ B- C C+ C- A
(2)14 - Yannick Bokolo PG 6'4'' 180 22 C+ C C+ C D+ B
Rush and Livingston is a nice back court for the future, the clippers may want to begin rebuilding around these two... and honestly I've never heard of that other guy but he doesn't look that bad.
Grade:B

Los Angeles Lakerss
Draft Picks:
23 - Nick Fazekas PF 6'11'' 245 22 C+ C+ C- C+ C+ C
(2)9 - Jamon Gordon PG 6'3'' 215 23 C C C+ C+ C- B
(2)20 - Carl Landry PF 6'7'' 245 23 B C- D C C D
(2)23 - Alando Tucker SF 6'6'' 210 23 C+ C+ C C C- B
(2)25 - Jarrius Jackson PG 6'1'' 185 22 C B- C C D D
They've added quite a few players really cheep... I'd say 2 maybe 3 last past 2 years when their rookie contracts are up.
Grade:C

Phoenix Suns
Draft Picks:
8 - Rudy Fernandez SG 6'6'' 172 22 C+ C+ C+ C D A
19 - Marcus Williams SG 6'7'' 205 20 B- C+ C- C+ C- A
21 - Derrick Byars SG 6'7'' 220 23 C+ B- C C+ C- B
25 - Tiago Splitter PF 6'11'' 236 22 B- D+ C C C A
RUDY8? are you out of your mind? he's a mid first rounder at best... Marcus williams is as good as he as and was picked 11 picks later. aside from that a nice draft for the suns
Grade:C+

Portland Blazers
Draft Picks:
16 - Al Thornton SF 6'8'' 220 23 C+ B- D+ B- C B
(2)16 - Ali Traore PF 6'9'' 239 22 C+ D+ C C C A
Thornton isn't a bad pick at all nice SF and I have no idea who the other guy is.
Law mighta been a nice pick at 16 as well
Grade:C+

Sacramento Kings
Draft Picks:
7 - Julian Wright SF 6'8'' 225 20 B- C- C B C+ A
6 - J.R. Reynolds PG 6'3'' 190 23 C+ B C C D+ C
Wright can fly and with Derron Williams throwing things... that could be interesting I think it's a good value pick at 7.
Grade:B+

Seattle Supersonics
Draft Picks:
20 - Glen Davis PF 6'9'' 295 21 B- C C- C+ C+ D
21 - Adam Haluska SG 6'5'' 210 23 C B C C C- C
Not a fan of either pick. they just don't do much to help out the Sonics.
Grade:D-

[Ducky]

Agree with most, except blazers draft deserves worse than C+ and Same with suns, they had awful draft, I'd give em a D+.

[MaarinX]

horrible picks there, just horrible.

[Rod Blagojevich]

I'm excited about Wright's potential, but I just don't love the glaring weakness in rebounding.

[DB]

im not too pumped about my draft since i missed it, but i grab some ok depth. Youth depth none the less. But its something, anyway nice read.
