Appraising the Draft

Evaluating the NBA Draft is difficult. Some teams lack selections. Some teams trade recklessly. Thus, discernable criteria is haphazard. With that stated, analysis is this blog. Below are four franchises who excelled.

New Jersey Nets: Both Brook Lopez and Chris Douglas-Roberts were enormous steals. Lopez is a consistent inside presence. Roberts is a transition dynamo. Ryan Anderson was also an exemplary selection. Anderson is a prolific scorer. He should garner significant action.

Indiana Pacers: Simply stated, the Pacers’ evening was flawless. Brandon Rush is a versatile scorer. Roy Hibbert is a shutdown defender. Both will make immediate impacts. They should hasten Indiana’s resurgence.

Miami Heat: Despite innuendo and speculation, Miami selected Michael Beasley. Their decision was correct. Beasley is a dynamic scorer. He will compliment Dwayne Wade. Additionally, Mario Chalmers’ selection was brilliant. He should prove an exemplary reserve.

Seattle Supersonics: For the second consecutive season, Seattle’s selections were stellar. Russell Westbrook is athletic. He can score. He should stabilize their backcourt. D.J. White and DeVon Hardin should garner significant action.
