 PG Joseph Young, pick 43, Pacers. Maybe more of a shooting guard, but there were no big draft steals.

SG Norman Powell, pick 46, Raptors (Almost went with RJ Hunter at 28, but Powell looks like a poor man’s Latrell Sprewell. Don’t be shocked if he takes Terrence Ross’s job as a rookie.

SF Kelly Oubre, pick 15, Wizards. Just ridiculous talent, and a guy who has learned that hard work pays off. This guy is going to F your guy up. Wiggins level talent. Utterly superior to D’Angelo Russell, to the point that I too have a chip on my shoulder against the teams that passed on him.

PF Jordan Mickey, pick 33, Celtics. Serge Ibaka in the second round says what?

C Myles Turner, pick 11, Pacers. More of a PF at this point, but Turner is going to be a star stretch center for a long long time.

Congrats to the Pacers for fielding two first team all rookie draft value winners.

A tip of the hat to the Celtics for the honorable mention that RJ Hunter recieved, while also fielding first teamer Jordan Mickey.

I’m down with Oubre being better than Russell. 

I nominate Kevon Looney for the Second Team All Rookie Draft Value.

 Branden Dawson instead of Myles Turner since you expect Turner to be a value pick. Other than that, good list.

 Bobby Portis, Branden Dawson, Dakari Johnson, Delon Wright, and Pat Connaughton would be all second team. I mention Pat because he is the most likely to carve out a role on the Blazers. Dawson, Portis, and Johnson are talented, but could be lost on the teams depth chart. Wright was one of my favorite players in college, but there are questions of whether his game will translate to the NBA. As long as Wright can remain level-headed, and not start jacking up shots, he should be fine. There are many talented offensive players on the Raptors roster, and Wright should stick to facilitating to them.

 Can’t believe Montrezl Harrell isn’t getting any love in this thread. Was projected in the late teens and fell all the way to the second round.
