so which teams get automatic As for draft grades?

[NugzFan]

simply for being lucky and picking near the top? happens every year.

minnesota? lakers? philly?

[imdaman99]

I hate when they give grades on the draft picks right after the draft. How do we know they don't all don't bust?????

[el gringos]

Knicks and lakers

Miami got a steal at 10 and is a perfect fit in every way. I would give them an A even if I wasn't a Heat fan.

[Jameerthefear]

Miami is the only one top of my head

agreed - and its almost always a grade based on how high you pick rather than how well you draft.

this and I ****ing Hate the Heat.

Right, but objectively that was a steal. I and the Heat thought he was going to NY. Miami didn't even work him out. It wasn't a thought in anyone's head.

Kings for picking someone higher who actually fills a need.

kings get an A?

[Bimbo Coles]

Well, if shrewd selection is the criterion, yes. They selected WCS 5 places above where he featured on some boards. They did this to plug the hole in the middle, essentially freeing their best player, Cousins, from the burden of being the anchor. They could have easily selected Winslow (= McLemore w/ better D), Kaminsky, or even your Mudiay (when Collison will suffice).

[NugzFan]

yeah sorry, but they dont get an A for that pick.

[Bimbo Coles]

simply for being lucky and picking near the top? They were proactive. They made it happen. It should be the very definition of an A.

proactive about being terrible?

[MellowYellow]

definitely the knicks, they got someone that may be better than mudiay for tim hardaway failure. And they got one of the highest upside players in the draft.

jerian grant > mudiay?

[Bimbo Coles]

proactive about being terrible? How? Are you an idiot? Your question is 'which teams get automatic As for draft grades? It's not which team gets automatic As for draft grades but is disqualified for being terrible.

Facts:

- They wanted WCS, and drafted him five spots above his projection. They bypassed five players to get him.
- They needed a centre, so do the Knicks, so do the Magic. Neither of those two teams were expected to take WCS (why, I don't know). Jay Bilas even said he needs to be Noah defensive level to justify a high selection because his offense is almost nonexistent.

That's an A.

Heat

no, its not. your logic is laughable. :oldlol:

kings definitely dont get an A.

[Bimbo Coles]

You're clueless. Way to argue a point.

Because it's a DRAFT grade. They are given out based on how the team drafted given their needs.

[NugzFan]

my point is the kings dont deserve an A. quite obviously so. /argument

[NugzFan]

Because it's a DRAFT grade. They are given out based on how the team drafted given their needs.

it should be based on who selects the best players based on where they are drafting. and this cant be done for a couple years.

its just hard to give someone an A when a monkey could have made the same selection 2 weeks ago. :oldlol:

[Bimbo Coles]

So, are you saying Nuggets deserve one of your elusive As?

[NugzFan]

nope.

I just think its stupid when As are always given out to teams that simply get lucky. and a lot of times looking back, the grades are way off.

my thread was made to mock them.

Hawks: F

[Milbuck]

Houston got the best player of this draft.

[outbreak]

Orlando: A

Porzingis would have been an A+ but I like the Hezonja pick and I also like taking Harvey in the second (he was who I wanted there). I think there was 2-3 BPA when we picked at 5 and we picked the right fit for what we need right now as well.

I would bet a substantial amount of money that Winslow will be a better player than Hezonja.

[NugzFan]

pretty sure orlando was getting an A no matter if they picked hezonja, winslow, porzingis, mudiay or dekker

[Jameerthefear]

ok

...who gives a shit about draft grades, wtf :biggums:
