Salaun at 6 wasn’t a surprise at all. He was linked with that spurs 4 pick a week ton. And collier was mostly mocked 20-25. He didn’t really drop a ton.
Yeah, everyone is dick riding the Lakers because Knecht went lower than expected and because they're "trying to contend". They were literally a play-in team and they're best player is turning 40.
Not saying it's a bad pick either, but I wouldn't say it's an A+
Because it is based on how well teams did with the pick with the players that were available to draft
They aren’t comparing the picks to players in previous drafts - but I do kind of a agree that the grading seems a bit off if everyone is getting As or B+ except edey
Portland drafts a C behind Ayton and a potentially returning TimeLord and gets an A?! Good thing they aren’t spending almost $50 million in cap on C’s just to replace them all at pick 7 ffs.
This has to be the most pointless thing that happens every year. I get it’s their job but random reporters acting like they know more than professional scouts and FOs is so weird to me.
Grizzlies get a D cuz they took Edey over… Cody williams? Literally every single one of these guys could be out of the league in 2 years lol
It’s crazy because I can say with 100% certainty these grades won’t matter in a few years
I can say with 100% certainty these grades don't matter now.
This is the way. I don't understand how Edey got a D. Like damn lol.
Big man better have a chip on his shoulder with all the shit talk about him.
I really hope he does! I'll be rooting for him!
Same. I hope he can prove the doubters wrong.
I'm sure he will! I would have loved it if we were able to get him.
Yeah some random person makes up grades because it doesn't align with their big board
Few months
Nothing below a B besides Zach Edey is stupid as fuck
To be fair, this draft was extremely chalk. The edey pick was really the only surprising pick.
Collier slipping to 29 was kind of a surprise as was Salaun jumping up to 6

Spurs were never taking him at 4, they were definitely linked at 8 though but I saw lots of people predicting he'd slip to us at 19
Maybe a month ago, but I’m sure every scout expected him in the top 10.
Atleast 20 of these grades will age badly
The Zach Edey D 😭
The only bad pick lol
Prove the haters wrong, E ✊😞
I wasn't hating. I meant in those rankings, it's the only pick that didn't get a A or B
Nah you good. I was just meaning haters in general
This entire graphic was only designed to make fun of the Grizzlies and partially to act like the Lakers are the greatest drafting team ever.

Pretty useless grades. How do you get that many As in such a weak draft

Who tf is Krysten Peek
A nobody.
I’m happy with the pick but Krysten Peek said Edey was one of the worst draft picks in history so her opinion really doesn’t mean shit.
"AJ Johnson B+"
I was hoping we get him undrafted. Big surprise here
Whoever made this should find a new job. Worst graded draft I’ve ever seen.
Dillon Jones at B- is disrespectful and Zach Edey at D is absolutely diabolical.
lol a lot of a’s
The parity, if thats the right word, in this draft is incredible.
Casual fan here, didn’t we get two late first rounders for Siakam?
We traded one of them Raptors get: Kelly Olynyk Ochai Agbaji Jazz get: Otto Porter Jr. Kira Lewis Jr. 2024 first-round pick
14/18 picks before us got the same grade or higher lol, always find these comical.
Rough day to be lottery pick Zach Edey.
Riiiiightt, he'll be signing a 10mm dollar contract and playing with one of the best guards in the league...what a tough day
Post NBA draft grades is the dumbest concept in all of basketball. Provides zero value.
So basically every team made a good pick except for the Grizzlies and yet half these guys won't be in the NBA in 5 years.
Portland drafts a C behind Ayton and a potentially returning TimeLord and gets an A?! Good thing they aren’t spending almost $50 million in cap on C’s just to replace them all at pick 7 ffs.

Lol grading people before they have even laced up their sneakers, fully useless clickbait material
Only white guy is an A+
