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

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

Milwaukee Bucks: C

None

The Milwaukee Bucks entered and exited the 2019 NBA Draft without making a single selection. They moved their first-round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a cost-cutting move to free up the space to re-sign multiple free agents. Seeing as how the Bucks are now NBA champions it seems to have been worth it.

Orlando Magic: C

Chuma Okeke (16)

In a somewhat bizarre “wink, wink” transaction the Orlando Magic selected injured Auburn forward Chuma Okeke 16th overall, and then convinced him to rehab without starting the clock on his rookie contract. This past year became his rookie season, and he showed some real flashes for the Magic and went 16th again in the redraft.

Cleveland Cavaliers: C

Darius Garland (5); Dylan Windler (26); Kevin Porter Jr. (30)

To have the fifth pick in the draft and three first-rounders overall, and walk away with just one surefire rotation piece is a disappointment for the Cavaliers. That being said, Porter Jr. played well in Houston, but the Cavaliers dumped him after the relationship between the two sides completely fell apart. It’s hard to grade them well for taking him.

Dylan Windler has been frequently injured but still has a chance to be a solid offensive wing. Darius Garland was the first player taken out of the “first four” and went 11th in our redraft. He’s a talented guard who improved his playmaking last year, but he’s also a defensive sieve and his star upside has dwindled significantly.

Houston Rockets: C

Chris Clemons (undrafted)

The Houston Rockets traded their first-round pick in a salary-dumping trade in the 2018-19 season, and their second years previously to add Pablo Prigioni as a backup point guard. They didn’t come away from the draft empty-handed, however; as undrafted free agent, Chris Clemons looked like a rotation guard as a rookie before he missed all of last year due to injury.
