Re-Grading the 2021 NBA Draft

[@isaactanner7483]

Scottie is an A+. Everyone hated on the Raptors for picking him, but has turned out to be the best player from the class. ROTY, First All Star, Best Passer in the class, and easily the second best defender. Not to mention the highest offensive upside at this point being 240 6’9 with a jumper.

That is probably the best way to describe it. In hindsight, suggesting that the top 5 would be the best since LeBron/Carmelo/Bosh/Wade was a stretch, but it's a really deep class that I think still has a lot of all-NBA potential if these players are in a position to succeed.

[@pattycake1648]

As a W's fan we've totally messed up Moody. He doesn't have the trust of Kerr to get regular rotation minutes but has enough to play 30 minutes a night in the playoffs and excel.... I'd give him a B off of what he can/would immediately do in a different situation. And for the record, Kerr is a good to great coach. This is his greatest shortcoming yet. Kuminga's forced his hand and is playing the minutes he should now at least.

[@jalenjohnson0339]

As a rockets fan a B plus is fair for Jalen he just been inconsistent his entire career but it didn’t help he had Slias as a head coach and the environment around him was terrible similar to Cade. But I think he can be a really good player under Ime I think with him we are seeing and are going to continue to get the best version of Jalen Green. Sengun an A plus the dude is fantastic as long as he can continue to be a average defender under Ime he going to be a multiple time all start in the next couple of years

[@alexnguyen1284]

A few disagreements: - pistons drafting Cade: B+ why? they had the #1 pick, they did not draft the best player in the class. If would be an A if they did draft the best player in their class. There is AT LEAST 2 players that are "better" than Cade right now and thats Scottie Barnes & Alperin Sengun. Cade as a player is a B+ Not sure if he's the guy to build around considering he's injury prone & a lot of people say he doesnt play winning basketball. If you were to swap cade for scottie or sengun they would probably get the pistons more wins but still dont think anybody in this draft class can take the pistons to the playoffs this season with this terrible roster. A lot of people view him as a zach lavine, KAT, PG13 player who is good and can make an all star team but will never win you a title or carry you far in the playoffs or even make the playoffs every year consistently. - orlando drafting jalen suggs: C+/B- why? they had the #5 pick and they drafted somebody that cant shoot and isnt much of a scorer in the nba level. Great defender, rebounder, hustles, puts a lot of effort on the defensive end every game, great "glue guy" for a team. He's almost the equivalent of a alex caruso type of player. You dont draft an alex caruso type of player at #5. Maybe at #15 or later down the draft but def not at #5. There's a whole bunch of players after him that is better like kumiga (7), Franz Wagner (8) they did draft him so thats good, Sengun (16), Trey Murphy III (17), Jalen Johnson (20) this year has taken massive leap, Cam Thomas (27). However, I still feel jalen suggs can improve a lot on the offensive end of his game in maybe 5 or 6 years from now. I would give this an A+ if Jalen Suggs can convince his cousin, Tyrese Haliburton, to one day sign with Orlando. Haliburton did say at one time that he would like to team up with his cousin in the nba. I dont see the pacers giving up Haliburton any time soon unless Haliburton openly says he wont play for the pacers anymore but its unlikely since he doesnt seem to have that type of personality and his team is pretty good right now with a lot of flexibility. - OKC drafting josh giddey: C. Drafted at #6. He cant shoot & cant defend. Great playmaker though. His stats have gone down in almost every category this season. Maybe its a mental thing he's going through with his off the court drama involving him dating & having sex with a minor -__- Its a C grade because it feels like OKC does not want him in their long term plans and he's most likely going to be part of a package used to be traded for a star in the near future. Even if he does improve & becomes as good as a Lonzo Ball type of player, that probably wont happen with him playing for OKC and for that I give this grade a C because he wont be in the team's long term future. Seems almost like a waste of a pick at #6. Im not sure if the team wants to resign him considering they have so many future 1st round picks he is easily replaceable. - Kings drafting Davion Mitchell: D. Drafted at #9 by the kings. What were they thinking?!??! this was draft malpractice. Whoever decided to draft davion mitchell should've been fired. I give this a D because all the red flags were there prior to the draft. He's an older player that spent 4 years in college only to average 9 ppg in college haha, he's undersize at only 6 ft tall, he wasnt a great shooter or much of a scorer in college although his 3 point % in his final year in college improved, and what made it worse was at the time drafting him the Kings already had 2 other point guards in Fox and Haliburton. Out of them 3 they chose to get rid of Haliburton. If I remember correctly, the pacers were willing to accept either fox, haliburton, or davion mitchell + several future 1st round picks in exchange for Sabonis. The kings chose to give up haliburton TERRIBLE. Kings must've fell in love with davion mitchell during march madness because his team, Baylor, won the NCAA tournament that year and how in all his interviews Davion Mitchell kept saying in all his life in w/e team he has been on they end up winning from little league basketball, high school, college, and then even in the nba summer league the Kings won the summer league that year. They really thought they drafted a game changing winner so it must've been another reason why they decided to trade away Haliburton instead. - Grizzlies drafting Ziaire Williams: F. Drafted at #10. He's just a terrible nba player. Does not seem like he'll last long in the nba. Not much more I can say about this. He's playing like somebody that should've been drafted at #40 or lower. Those type of players dont last long in the nba and end up being bounced around from team to team before they are eventually out the league. This might be Ziarire's future in the nba if he doesnt show improvement in any area of his stats. This season would've been a good time for him to show something since his whole dam team is injured, unfortunately he's been injured too.

@warshawgameshd3432 hes not worse than paolo and saying hes not as good as ant wemby and zion isnt exactly harsh critiscm . Considering hes played less than 2 years total game time and the situation hes in with that team the only players i can say for sure today are better than him are ant an zion . Wemby is probably more valuable overall too cause his defense and rim protection zion is ...i guess hes better ut hes hurt way more even than cade . Im not saying hes not amazing when hes out there but this year he wasnt much better

@@adamperry4216 I don't think you understand.. A+ means for the position they were picked how good did they turn out.. It doesn't matter if hes worse or equal to paolo, he hasn't shown anything exponential for a 1st overall pick.. Wemby is better lol its not even a debate his team is also ass but he was in DPOY convo's and average like 25 and 10 on a minutes restriction at the end of the season.. At best Cade is above paolo but how is that then a A+ pick?

@warshawgameshd3432 ok i didnt understand the positional value portion of it and yeah wemby was better did i not say that ? When i said i guess it was me kind of thinking out loud going down the list and wemby was 21 10 an 4 on 30 minutes . I guess thats minutes restriction but idk how many more minutes your ever gonna play an7 foot 5 guy . Average minutes for a high useage guard is 33 to 35 . Anyway i think we are arguing semantics and my point was for cade to be 4th out of 5 on that list isnt bad considering how good the last 5 first picks are . Thats a pretty historic run withno busts i cant think off hand whos between fultz and zion but fultz is the last bust i can think of . I guess id argue against those 5 cade hasnt done anything special as a 5 but thats a pretty special group of 5 ben simmons then fultz 2 busts in a year despite a promisisng start to simmons career you cant do anything but call that a bust ayton bust for a no 1 . Then boom zion ant cade paolo wemby . I have a feeling 2025 is gonna produce a bust though .

Wait, so your justification for not giving Cade an A+ was that he hasn't made an all star team. Yet Scottie who went 3 picks later, won ROY and has made an all-star doesn't not warrant an A+. Kind of moronic no?

Primo would’ve been good if he stayed with spurs but had to be a freak
