For my money, there are only a few prospects in this draft worth spending time and money on, the rest are fodder. This draft is especially weak, and as is want to happen in the days leading up to the draft, many are being over-hyped.

I put these players into tiers:

These are guys who are going to develop into contributors on playoff teams and/or All-Stars:

Griffin
Curry
Evans
Rubio

These guys will have ‘nice’ careers- meaning that if you draft these guys you can count on them being contributors to a team and long careers:

Psycho T
Jordan Hill
Flynn

These are guys who are going to go WAY above where they should go in a normal draft and will not be significant contributors. Typically these guys are drafted for a perceived need or for trading purposes:

Harden
Thabeet
Blair

Here’s a list of guys, that if I had a roster spot, I’d like to take a chance on and see if I could develop them:

Clark
DeRozan

These are guys who are going to go later in the draft that will be solid values:

Collison
Lawson
Caroll

These guys should update their passports and look to Europe (even if they do get drafted):

Young

Going to be taken higher and will have to take some time to develop (and maybe by a second or third team), but when they do, watch out!

Holliday

This is a weak draft and I think that most teams should not expect to significantly improve because of their pick(s).
