NBA Draft: Regrading all 30 teams for the 2019 NBA Draft

Regrading all 30 teams for the 2019 NBA Draft: B- Grades

San Antonio Spurs: B-

Luka Samanic (19); Keldon Johnson (29); Quinndary Weatherspoon (49)

The San Antonio Spurs get a mixed-bag grade for how they handled their 2019 NBA Draft capital. On the one hand, they took Keldon Johnson at 29th and he looks like a top-5 player in this class as a two-way forward. On the other hand, they used the 19th pick on Luka Samanic, a power forward flier who has completely bombed thus far. Quinndary Weatherspoon is a shooting guard who can’t shoot. In all the Spurs would look great to have traded those three picks for pick No. 5, but they also deserve some critique because the upside was there to do better.

Oklahoma City Thunder: B-

Darius Bazley (23); Lugentz Dort (undrafted)

The Oklahoma City Thunder took a first-round flier on a superb athlete with the tools to become the next Jerami Grant. Bazley has shown enough to keep that belief alive, but he hasn’t realized his potential to this point. On the flip side, Lugentz Dort went from undrafted two-way contract signee to defensive bulldog who could start for many contenders.

Philadelphia 76ers: B-

Matisse Thybulle (20); Marial Shayok (54)

Matisse Thybulle is one of the most difficult players to evaluate, as he is one of the league’s best defenders, full-stop. He then gives most of those gains back at the offensive end where opposing teams know they don’t have to defend him. He moved up to 17 in the redraft. Marial Shayok, on the other hand, has logged just 28 career minutes, but has balled out in the G League and could latch on as a bench guard next year.

Toronto Raptors: B-

Terence Davis (undrafted)

Terence Davis is not a future star or probably even a future starter, but since the Toronto Raptors parlayed “0” picks in the 2019 NBA Draft into a rotation player they earn a positive grade. Davis is a strong shooter and defender, and will likely hang around the league for a decade in some capacity.
