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.
*"jalen green has been phenomenal for the Orlando magic in this specific role" Quotation marks are used to indicate a direct quote, transcribe speech to text. Take those quotation marks out its not a direct quote.
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.
Sengun A+ is so spot on...A future HOFer in the making. I love his IQ, footwork and passing and that is not all of his good qualities, but they are so fun to watch.
@@cavslegend_dwade I don't know about that 2k stuff, but Sengun sure made Whemy & Chet look a fools. Go watch those games and see how he dominated them. Sengun is quicker and much better footwork than big centers...I don't see it being a big problem in his career.
As a Hornets fan…. Bouknight is a very frustrating pick, we needed a big man and at the time watching mocks and stuff I always thought it was a no brainer drafting sengun and it turns out it should have, I hate the team I root for 😭
Şengün's someone who comes more equipped from every summer he had since he was 16. Three point's gonna come and I believe in the future, he'll solidify himself as the best of this class.
Ok His all star was not deserved over some other players but yea he’s been really good. In the east I’d give Allen or Kp the nod over him and west is put Kyrie and Gobert and sengun and fox and sabonis and Ingram all over him. But he’s very good!
@@theeggreat4 modley is lucky to even still be called the best defender in the draft after this season. He gains such an advantage when JA is on the floor with him
Scottie should be an A+ but overall the grades were pretty spot on! Great to see a lot of these guys having breakout years (or in Jalen Green’s case a breakout “month” or so) can’t wait to see how good this class can become
As a rockets fan I could see why Garuba never really got a chance every time he stepped on the court he looked like a uncoordinated football player that doesn’t even play basketball
Mobley and Green getting the same Grade has got to be a joke. I understand JG has been great recently, but recency bias is kicking ass here, just a month ago people were talking about him being on the verge of becoming a bust. Mobley has been good to very good consistently, and I dont get how he isnt an A.
@@MCFC-m7kwhat if I told you Mobley is shooting better from 3 this season than Cade and green. Give Mobley the first option treatment and he is easily averaging 25 and 12 per game. People who say his game hasn’t improved do not watch Cavs games
Cade has only played 137 games... and he dumped in 36 tonight. He isn't going to be a "really good" player. He is going to be 1st team all NBA. 22.7 4.5 7.5 right now. Pencil in 27-6-9 for next year.
The video that came out of Josh Christopher and Jalen Green is literally the only reason Jay Gup isn’t in the league rn. Should at least be on a two-way.
Considering some of the players drafted in a similar range, picking up Cam Thomas and Dayron Sharpe for the Nets was impressive in the late parts of the draft.
How are there so many As and Bs? There is no clear star player like Luka, Ant, Zion, Ja, or even Paolo Banchero in this draft. Definitely a solid draft, but some of these grades seem a tad generous.
@6ixman485 and cade has better stats than both of them in a worse situation . For sure theirs stars in this draft i would argue cade and scottie have superstar in their future
And even if u took other guys drafted outside the lottery like cam , sengun , jalen , and even grimes over him he would still fall to 13 - 15 at the furthest
NBA drafted players get better after year three only for players who work hard in the offseason on their game like Shagun in Houston and Wagner in Orlando, but if they spend their offseason partying then you see what you see
Cade Cunningham leads the worst team into the most consecutive losses in NBA history. I'm gonna give this draft pick a "A" Jalen Green is inconsistent, but just went on a 11 game win streak after losing his best teammate and learning under a new coach. I'm gonna give this draft pick a "F". He needs to become a MVP, Finals MVP, and 8x champion before i can move this up to a "D"
Look at Cade’s team. You can replace him with anyone else from his draft class, and they’d still be dogshit. And plus, he’s a playmaker, so you could argue his true talents would be better showcased if he was on a competent nba team.
@@obi3924 I like Cade and i think he will be great. Just criticizing the grade. I would've given both Jalen and Cade a B. They are both still figuring it out, the potential is definitely there.
@@daviddomingo425Cade is better then Jalen we’re not just skipping past the majority of the season for a couple good weeks, Jalen green was statistically the worst starter in the league for most of the season you can’t just push that to the side
Bro - Ayo Dosunmu was amazing value. Sure, he's not All NBA, but any time you get an extended bit of play from a second round pick in the NBA, you need to call it out!
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.
@@rico2staxx no he isnt. Cade is not better than sengun and barnes. They arent that much better than him, but those 2 players I've listed have shown more improvement than cade so far.
Giving Cade an A after he's done literally nothing to show for it in his 3rd year is a take. At some point you need to stop grading on what someone "can be" vs what they have shown you. He's not even the 5th best player in this draft and never will be.
so you're telling me that the 3rd year all star who has one of the best all around games in the league rn and is competing with stars around the league is only a A. Bro stop trying to rekindle the argument, Scottie is and always will be better than sengun. they are both amazing,but sengun has a way more glaring weakness than scottie.
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
I agree Kuminga is way better and I like Giddey’s recent play. I think there is a decent chance Kuminga is the best player of the entire class longterm he’s just on the Warriors and very young so his full upside is not yet on display
Scottie Barnes not being A+ shows how the other 29 teams view the raptors. He’s been an A+ pick since his rookie year. And the only allstar from this draft class! What more does he need to do 😭😭😭
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?
Let’s see Cade 1st option on a bottom feeder team a, Jalen on an 11th seed very inconsistent 1-2nd option b, Mobley a 4th option top 3 seed dpoy finalist plays out of position went from shooting 19% to 38% from 3 in a year but still puts up good numbers is a b? Bro just admit you don’t watch the Cavs. Scottie been great tho even tho his team is ass.
Steff Curry work on his game all the time, so is all the great like Labron James and Dirk Noviski and Jokic and Kevin Durant except Shaq who refused to work on his free throws in the offseason
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.
How is Scottie now a A+ but Segun is? LMAO Scottie has been better all season Made Allstar (Segun didnt) and Barnes is a MUCH better defender... have you seen his Steals and Blocks this year?
If this turn from Jalen Green is real (the reads and defense make me think it may be), he'll by far be the best pick in this draft. With him and Sengun, the Rockets look like they will be a force.
Imo U should be grading these guys on how they've been their first 3 seasons not how much potential they have how they project etc. Regrading is about what they've done not what they could do. And that's why all the grades are honestly a tad high
Please watch your video publishing it. Every video there is an editing mistake or some name that are wrong. You have some really good analysis about the nba so I think that if you take a little more attention on the quality of your video you could grow your channel even more.
Top 8 in this draft all look like they’ll be very good nba players. Not sure if there’s been another draft where all top 8 picks all look like they’ve been nailed
I think next year Jaylen Johnson will get an A+ if u redo this next year. He’s been arguably our second best player all year and at times has looked like our best
Most of the players are lacking the fundamentals of the game like passing and shooting and rebounding and defense, all of them are good athletes and run fast and jump high
@@LongTran-uv4dmWhy would that comment mean I’m a king’s fan? I’m a Bucks fan. What I said is true. And any Pels fan would say the same. Going entire month of January shooting 29% from 3. Followed by 34%. That resulted in 11 points per game and 12 in Jan and February.
This class is certainly a late bloomer sleeper class.
Nah, most people said this was the best draft class for a while before the 2021-22 season even started

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.
A whole bunch of yappin. Cade was and still the best player in his draft class
@@rico2staxx no he isnt. Cade is not better than sengun and barnes. They arent that much better than him, but those 2 players I've listed have shown more improvement than cade so far.
Giving Cade an A after he's done literally nothing to show for it in his 3rd year is a take.
At some point you need to stop grading on what someone "can be" vs what they have shown you. He's not even the 5th best player in this draft and never will be.
Matt curious how would Cade be an A+ if he had made an all star appearance but Scottie is still only an A having been an all star already and more ?
He has a better team
so you're telling me that the 3rd year all star who has one of the best all around games in the league rn and is competing with stars around the league is only a A. Bro stop trying to rekindle the argument, Scottie is and always will be better than sengun. they are both amazing,but sengun has a way more glaring weakness than scottie.
G league drafted players seem to end up as fairly inconsistent players. We’ll see how they develop. Maybe going with a college player is a better bet
How is Scottie not an A+
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
Giddy and kuminga having the same grade is odd especially since giddy is trending down and kuminga is breaking out
I agree Kuminga is way better and I like Giddey’s recent play. I think there is a decent chance Kuminga is the best player of the entire class longterm he’s just on the Warriors and very young so his full upside is not yet on display
Definitely an A+ for Cam Thomas being drafted at 7th!
To all the Scottie Barnes fans tell him to win some games first. Team looked like the Pistons with just him out there.
Jonathan Kumniga should be an A. He’s great for the warriors
I think when you do these, you should do a redraft at the end of the video to see where they’d be drafted if the draft was today
Boukenight got cut?? You not watch the games
Primo would’ve been good if he stayed with spurs but had to be a freak
Mr resident-one not very good comment conifer Wagner in the playoff and barn is not
Jalen green has been great for the magic huh
You do not talk about Neemy
🇵🇹👑🍀
Green is easily best player in the draft so far! A+ for rockets for pick him😊
Sengun is better.
@@davidagledhill I hope, but he is under sized for a center
Not even top 5 bro, it goes scottie, cade, sengun, kuminga, mobley
Jalen should be at least an A
Josh Christopher dam Jguap he hasnt been good
Jalen Green is an A
It’s what they are now not what they are going to be.
Scottie Barnes not being A+ shows how the other 29 teams view the raptors. He’s been an A+ pick since his rookie year. And the only allstar from this draft class! What more does he need to do 😭😭😭
Under graded Mobley he playing wit garland and Mitchell he don’t have to carry on offense
2021 draft class is so underrated
2021 draft was loaded!!!! I’d still take Cade #1. Cade is a stud when healthy and just needs some help. Huge fan of Suggs also. Stud 3&D player.
Jalen Green playing well for both the Rockets and Magic warrants an A
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?
Let’s see Cade 1st option on a bottom feeder team a, Jalen on an 11th seed very inconsistent 1-2nd option b, Mobley a 4th option top 3 seed dpoy finalist plays out of position went from shooting 19% to 38% from 3 in a year but still puts up good numbers is a b? Bro just admit you don’t watch the Cavs. Scottie been great tho even tho his team is ass.
Cade Cunningham has played total of 137 NBA games... 3 years! That's terrible.
Steff Curry work on his game all the time, so is all the great like Labron James and Dirk Noviski and Jokic and Kevin Durant except Shaq who refused to work on his free throws in the offseason
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.
Na man right now green is better cade
How is Scottie now a A+ but Segun is? LMAO Scottie has been better all season Made Allstar (Segun didnt) and Barnes is a MUCH better defender... have you seen his Steals and Blocks this year?
Sengun could not be selected as an all star because he was in the West. If he was in the East, Sengun would have been selected instead of Barnes.
Giddy with a B+ is more than fair. I was expecting closer to a B-/C as a Thunder fan. He's considered the weak link on a good team.
If this turn from Jalen Green is real (the reads and defense make me think it may be), he'll by far be the best pick in this draft.
With him and Sengun, the Rockets look like they will be a force.
Imo U should be grading these guys on how they've been their first 3 seasons not how much potential they have how they project etc.
Regrading is about what they've done not what they could do.
And that's why all the grades are honestly a tad high
Please watch your video publishing it. Every video there is an editing mistake or some name that are wrong. You have some really good analysis about the nba so I think that if you take a little more attention on the quality of your video you could grow your channel even more.
Top 8 in this draft all look like they’ll be very good nba players. Not sure if there’s been another draft where all top 8 picks all look like they’ve been nailed
Check your Sros MM bracket challenge I swear I’m in first
I think next year Jaylen Johnson will get an A+ if u redo this next year. He’s been arguably our second best player all year and at times has looked like our best
I think she had like a massive stroke or smth
Who
Wrong video? Wtf is this comment
Jalen Suggs is an A. I live in the O and only heard he does his job highly well. Every team would love a Jalen Suggs.
Most of the players are lacking the fundamentals of the game like passing and shooting and rebounding and defense, all of them are good athletes and run fast and jump high
so much jalens
Trey Murphy WAY overrated. Bad defender. Long stretches where he does nothing.
Must be a kings fan
Throw more chicken on the court please
@@LongTran-uv4dmWhy would that comment mean I’m a king’s fan?
I’m a Bucks fan.
What I said is true. And any Pels fan would say the same. Going entire month of January shooting 29% from 3. Followed by 34%. That resulted in 11 points per game and 12 in Jan and February.
