John Jenkins- C+
He is the best shooter in the draft, but that is all he can do. The Hawks were obviously looking for a 3 point specialist, but he need to be able to get the ball to the rim to become a good player.
Boston Celtics:
Jared Sullinger- A-
Sullinger is a nice player and I don't think much of his medical red flags. He will score and rebound. He is by no means athletic, but he will be a nice player in the NBA when he is learning from KG.
Fab Melo- C+
Melo is raw, he is mostly a defensive player right now, but he needs to work on his offensive game. He gets some offensive rebounds. He is improving and the Celtics could Stash him this year.

Charlotte Bobcats:
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist- B+
This was somewhat surprising as some said that the Bobcats would trade this pick. MKG probably doesn't start right away and his jump shot is inconsistent, but he has excellent work ethic and he plays relentless defense. He will be a top notch defensive player who can score decently.

Chicago Bulls:
Marquis Teague- B+
He may start this year with Rose being out most of the season. This is a great pick, he will make a great back up point guard and if he is good enough they can use him as trade bait.

Cleveland Cavaliers:
Dion Waiters- B-
I am really surprised at this pick, I thought Barnes would go here. He gets to play along Irving and he is a pure scorer which Cleveland needs, but I think there were better options on the board. He is going to be good, but Barnes would have done better in this situation.
Tyler Zeller- B-
They got him in a trade from Dallas. He is a solid player who will start for a long time. He doesn't have a high ceiling, but he has a high floor, nice safe pick. They gave up the 24th 33rd and 34th pick.

Dallas Mavericks:
Jared Cunningham- B
The Mavs need a Guard to help with scoring and they got just that in Cunningham. He will have to work on his jump shot, but he can get to the rim. Good pick for Dallas.

Denver Nuggets:
Evan Fournier- B
He can get to the rim off the dribble. He will back up AAA and will sit on the bench in his first year unless he pulls a Faried. He will be a nice 6th man in the future.

Detroit Pistons:
Andre Drummond- B
Drummond is a defensive player as of now, thats it, but he is a good pick here because he was projected to go at 5. He won't start, but he will team up with Monroe so they should make a good combo in the future.

Golden State Warriors:
Harrison Barnes- B+
Barnes is a top flight scorer and he fills a position of need in Golden State. This was the best pick for them and I expect him to be one of their go to players in the coming year. He is an elite jump shooter and he looks like he could be a better pro than college player. He is a jump shooter and the Warriors have a lot of those.
Festus Ezeli- C
Ezeli will never become an offensive powerhouse, but he add some size to their front line after losing Bogut.

Houston Rockets:
Jeremy Lamb- B
Lamb is a great scorer and is almost like Kevin Martin without the injuries. They needed someone who can score beside Martin, especially with his contract running out at the end of the season. He has long wing span and will create his own shot. Expect him to be a starter scoring 20+ in a couple of years.
Royce White- B-
They could have gotten White with the 18th pick. He is not a good shooter, but he can score inside and play from anywhere. He has a fear of flying and I hope he finds a way to overcome that. He is a combo forward and the Rockets need some flexibility.

Terrence Jones- C-
He is almost the same player as white, position wise so I don't understand the pick one bit. He is a better shooter, but sometimes he disappeared in games. I think he might be trade bait.
Indiana Pacers:
Miles Plumlee- C
Plumlee is decent and he will most certainty add depth for the Pacers. They need someone down low, but I think they could have done better. Especially with Jones III on the board.

Memphis Grizzlies:
Tony Wroten- B-
They needed someone to add depth to their back court and they got their guy. He needs to develop an outside shot, but as of now he attacks the rim and that is good enough.

Miami Heat:
Milwaukee Bucks:
John Henson- C+
I don't know about this pick, Henson doesn't have much of an offensive game which hurts when he is playing next to Samuel Damembert. They have almost the same skill set so I don't know how muc sense this pick makes.

New Orleans Hornets:
Anthony Davis- A
Davis is going to be phenomenal, he is about the same size, weight wise, as Garnett when he came out. He does need to put on some weight, but he has the skills to be an excellent player in the league. In do time he will be one of the bet big man in the league.
Austin Rivers- A
Rivers is one of the top scorers in the draft and I have no idea why he dropped this far, but for the Hornets to get Rivers along with Austin? Expect them to be in the playoffs for many years. Depending on if Eric Gordon comes back he could play PG/SG. They may have locked in the number 1 draft this year.

Oklahoma City Thunder:
Perry Jones III- A+
Best value pick in the draft, he is one of the best talents in the draft. They said something was wrong with his knee, but the risk is worth it. Every team from 10 on is going to be pissed they didn't get him.
Orlando Magic:
Andrew Nicholson- B-
He is athletic who can play inside and out. He will help Orlando, but you have to wonder if they will get rid of Anderson or Davis to find him playing time?

Philadelphia 76ers:
Moe Harkless- C+
Harkless is an alright pick, but I think the 76ers should have drafted a big man like Zeller or Sullinger. It doesn't make sense unless they unload Iggy which I doubt happens anytime soon.
Arnett Moultrie- B
This was a nice pick, they needed a big man and Moultrie had top 20 talent. Moultrie will be a nice pick and turn into a solid player.

Phoenix Suns:
Kendall Marshall- C
The Suns will be looking for Marshall to take over for Nash in the future... He cannot score and he can barely play defense the only thing he can do is pass. That is not what you want from the 13th pick in the draft.

Portland Blazers:
Damian Lillard- B+
Lillard is a top flight scorer and the Blazers needed help bad at guard. He will start from day 1 and will take over the game. He also passes well too, he is actually playing with real teammates.
Meyers Leonard- D
I think Zeller is a better player, but Leonard is a true 7 footer and has a lot more potential. He needs to get stronger and needs to get nastier on the glass. He is a good fit because Portland needs a center and they got their guy. I don't think he will be good enough to start in the NBA though.

Sacramento Kings:
Thomas Robinson- A
This was a great pick they didn't have to draft Drummond to get a big man, which is great for them. Robinson is a great player considering he should have been drafted earlier. He will make a huge impact next to Cousins, forming a duo that can both score and rebound.

I don't like this pick, but it isn't bad. Austin Rivers will be a better player and should have been the pick. Ross shouldn't have been in the top 10 so they should have looked to trade down, maybe they will.

Washington Wizards:
Bradley Beal- A
Im not going to lie I love me some Beal. He will be a top notch scorer who can score from outside. He will help out Wall in numerous ways since he is a reliable shooter. He will be the best scorer in this rookie class and he is Washington's only reliable shooter.
