NBA Draft Grades. Who passed, who failed?



        With the draft all but wrapped up,I decided to give you my post-draft grades. The grading system goes as followed: A+ to B+ is very solid, it filled their needs and/or the talent they selected at that pick was too good to pass up. B to C+ is a solid pick, maybe they made good out of what opportunity presented itself. C to D+ is a pick that maybe did not fit their need, or the talent at that position could have been better. D to D- is a bad pick, but not franchise threatening. Lastly, F. If you received an "F" you made an awful pick and could cost your team or franchise.
