2012 NBA Draft: Team Grades - Southeast Division




Atlanta Hawks: John Jenkins, Mike Scott
Jenkins was bound to be picked somewhere around this range, but I don't see why the Hawks would draft someone in the first round that plays the same position as arguably their best player. However, Jenkins might be the best pure shooter in the draft, so he still can and will produce for Atlanta. Mike Scott was a solid pick at #43, averaging 18 ppg and 8 rpg at Virginia his senior year, and could work his way into the rotation this or next year. GRADE: C+


Charlotte Bobcats: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Jeffrey Taylor
I thought that Thomas Robinson would be a better pick at #2 than Kidd-Gilchrist, given that he's a player that can produce now. MKG works very hard and there's no denying that he could be a star three years from now, still a solid pick. Taylor is also a small forward, but is more of a shooter and played great defense for Vanderbilt.  GRADE: B-

The Bobcats just posted the worst season in NBA history, so the only way to go from here is up, right? Kemba Walker had a solid rookie season, as did Bismack Biyombo. Put that together with an improving Gerald Henderson and the #2 pick in this year's great draft class, and you have a team that just might not be the worst in the NBA next year.
