    Cleveland - Waiters, Zeller

    Starting Line-up of the future:

    PG: Irving
    SG: Waiters
    SF: ?
    PF: Tristan Thompson
    C: Varejao or Zeller

    My grade: F

    Why?

    They have themselves an undersized backcourt, and at the very least could have traded down for Waiters. With Irving and Waiters around the same height, they have themselves a Dragic-Lowry problem where both need the ball in their hands to succeed and the fact that they will be a liability on the defensive end due to their height. Awful pick by the GM who was the same GM who made the Marvin Williams pick for the Hawks a while ago. Should have been expected to disappoint.

    Miles Plumlee over Perry Jones explains this draft.

    GMs are a joke.

    Portland gets an A+ from me with Lillard and Leonard.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Moultrie got traded to the Sixers?

    That is what ESPN is saying. I thought it was a good pick by Miami. /shrug

    If Woj and his sources are right, you're right.

    Since the Heat didn't get Moltres, OKC easily has the steal of the draft, in PJ3.

    Perry needs to fly to Germany with Kobe asap. (Wonder what the knee issue is.)

    Charlotte goofed at #2 - MKG is a great guy to put next to a primary scorer....dubious choice to lead a team on his own. C

    Wizards will be happy with Beal, A-

    Cavs will be fine with Waiters but were the better place for MKG or even Barnes. Zeller is added to possibly take over for Varejao C+

    Kings struck gold with Robinson falling to them. Stud and a perfect fit for the roster. A+

    Blazers plug needs at 1 and 5, but neither are sure fire studs. B

    Warriors a nice fit for Barnes. later take a big project C. B

    Raptors get a 2 that isn't going to change their fortunes. D+

    Pistons land Drummond to develop behind Monroe. A-

    Hornets take Rivers. Have fun with that. D

    Rockets....let's just hope we aren't holding on to those picks.

    Suns land the perfect guy to replace Nash. A

    Bucks take Henson, who'd be nice next to a real center. B

    Sixers have a nice SF....which means Iggy is gone? B-

    Mavs trade out and get Jared Cunningham and later picks C

    Magic take Nicholson C+

    Denver grabs Fournier B+

    Celtics grab Sully (popular name in Boston!) and Melo. Good stab to immediately rebuild the frontcourt. A-

    Hawks take John Jenkins...to play behind Joe Johnson? Replace McGrady? C+

    Griz take a backup point C

    Pacers bolster the bench behind Hibbert B+

    Heat get an adequate F/C as Bosh insurance...then trade him out? INC

    Thunder take a chance that PJIII is the steal of the draft A*

    Bulls grab a PG that will struggle to save the position C-

    I thought the Cavs were in a good enough position to not screw up. I'm like Charlie Brown ready to kick the football. Thank goodness the Browns pick was automatic this year.

    You trust a guy who was supposed to be a mid to late 2nd round pick being drafted in the late first round over a top 10 talent?

    Lmao

    No I don't trust Plumlee, I was talking about NBA GM's. Lol. PJ3 plays passive; you cannot teach to be assertive.

    OKC is the biggest winner. PJIII fits perfectly with Thunder.

    Yup, Jones is a steal. A lottery pick if he came out last year.
