#1 - Denver Nuggets - DeVante Smith-Rivera(Texas) PF 19 6-9 250lbs B C- C- B- B- A - The next big thing in the UOSL, Rivera is a lock for the #1 pick, and should be a dominant big for many years to come.
#2 - Houston Rockets - Dean Danos(Florida) SG 21 6-4 180lbs C+ A- B- C D+ A - One of the best perimeter scorers to ever enter the UOSL, Danos should be a great player at the next level. Thomas & Danos should be a great backcourt for many years to come for the Rockets.
#3 - Utah Jazz - Trashaun Carroll(Arizona) PF 20 6-11 225lbs B- C C+ B C A - One of the more intriguing players, Caroll is a solid defender and quality ball handler. He's got some inside game too. Might be a SF due to his inconsistency on the boards.
#4 - Los Angeles Clippers - Casey Kasperbauer(Iowa State) SG 20 6-7 205lbs B- C+ C+ B- C- B - An interesting player, Kasperbauer has a solid all-around game, and if the potential is there, he could be a very good player in the UOSL2.
#5 - Portland Trailblazers - Thomas Hamilton(Illinois) C 20 6-10 250lbs C D- F+ B C+ A - The best defensive big in the draft, Hamilton should be a lock down defender for the next decade as well as a quality rebounder. With a lack of legit. defensive/rebounding bigs, the Blazers will try and get theirs here.
#6 - Utah Jazz - N-Kewerin Okoro(Oklahoma State) C 20 6-11 260lbs B- D+ C+ C+ C+ A - Very unique game, but looks extremely raw and seems like someone with a high risk of busting. Who knows, basically boom or bust.
#7 - New York Knicks - Matthew Campbell(California) C 22 6-11 255lbs C C D- C+ A- B - The best rebounder in the class, if Campbell has some potential, he could become a very good big who is a solid defender and a tremendous rebounder.
#8 - Milwaukee Bucks - Xavier Horne(Miami(FL)) PG 20 6-0 170lbs C C+ B C C- A - They've really fallen apart after winning the title, and they need to rebuild soon. Horne seems to have the most upside left, and he could be a real playmaker at the next level.
#9 - Utah Jazz - Rodney Purvis(South Carolina) SF 21 6-9 235lbs B- C D B- C A - With their third lotto pick ;D the Jazz take a flyer here. This seems to be where the draft dips a bit, and so they take the guy who seemingly has the best chance of being a starter. Maybe a Damion James type.
#10 - Phoenix Suns - Raymond Dorsey(Texas) SF 22 6-7 220lbs C+ B- D+ C+ C A - Dorsey is raw, but has shown flashes of being solid, and the Suns just need talent and offense, and Dorsey could provide that. Probably the most logical pick left for the Suns at this point.
#11 - Washington Wizards - Adofis Washington(Ohio State) PF 20 6-10 245lbs C+ D+ D+ C B- A - A project player, Washington could be really good or be utter crap. He's a solid rebounder, but the rest of his game is very raw. At this point, it seems like he has the most upside left, so the Wiz take a chance on him.
#12 - Toronto Raptors - Derrick Griffin(Texas Tech) C 20 7-0 245lbs C+ C- C- C+ C+ A - Griffin looks to have outstanding potential, and so the Raps take a chance on him here, instead of taking someone like Bryce Wright or Anthony Bowers who are more developed. Griffin could be a BJ Mullens type if he reaches his full potential.
#13 - Detroit Pistons - Bryce Wright(Oregon) SF 22 6-4 210lbs C+ B+ C- C C- B - The Pistons have a great young duo of players in Jayshaun Agosto & Taco Wallace, and they also have the league's best scorer in Eric Gordon. Bryce Wright seems like the BPA left at this point, and could be a nice complement to Eric Gordon on the wing.
#2 - Houston Rockets - Dean Danos(Florida) SG 21 6-4 180lbs C+ A- B- C D+ A - One of the best perimeter scorers to ever enter the UOSL, Danos should be a great player at the next level. Thomas & Danos should be a great backcourt for many years to come for the Rockets.
