Regrading all 30 teams for the 2019 NBA Draft: C+ Grades

Denver Nuggets: C+

Bol Bol (44)

The expected return on a middling second-round pick is quite low, so for the Denver Nuggets to capture upside with the pick makes it a decent selection. Bol Bol hasn’t been able to earn consistent minutes as he finds himself on a contending team, but there is definitely still a chance he takes a leap in the coming years.

Chicago Bulls: C+

Coby White (7); Daniel Gafford (38)

Coby White has been fine as the starting point guard for the Chicago Bulls, playing major minutes and at the very least demonstrating he can score the basketball, albeit inefficiently. Gafford, on the other hand, has risen in the redraft as a low-end starting center who couldn’t crack through in Chicago but is playing great on a per-minute basis.

Dallas Mavericks: C+

Isaiah Roby (45)

The Dallas Mavericks moved Isaiah Roby in a trade, but as a second-year player, he has begun to develop for the Oklahoma City Thunder. He can rebound and shoots well enough from the free-throw line that he could one day develop an outside shot. Two years in Roby has a chance to make it in the league, which is good enough for where he was chosen.

Utah Jazz: C+

Jarrell Brantley (50); Justin Wright-Foreman (53); Miye Oni (58); Juwan Morgan (undrafted)

The Utah Jazz waited a long time to make their first pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, but then they set off a flurry of activity in picking three players in the span of nine picks. Miye Oni has been the best of the group, earning a rotation spot on the team with the best record in the league this past season.

Justin Wright-Foreman has been strong in the G League but has logged just four games with the parent club. Juwan Morgan played rotation minutes last season but has faded since. No one from this group is guaranteed to be in the NBA in three years, but the Jazz might still get a reliable player from them.
