NBA Draft Grades 2016: Full List of Scores for All Picks

Outside of the first two picks—Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram, as expected—the 2016 NBA draft was odd.

There weren't any eye-popping trades, meaning the Boston Celtics and others kept quiet near the top of the order. Speaking of the top of the order, international names such as Georgios Papagiannis, Juan Hernangomez and Guerschon Yabusele found their way into the lottery.

Meanwhile, notables such as Gary Payton II, Perry Ellis, Yogi Ferrell and many more fell into the realm of the undrafted.

Unpredictability isn't a bad thing, though, and it will be interesting to see how the odd event impacts the hierarchy of the league. Before summer play gets underway, let's take a look at full draft grades for all picks.

Team	Grade	Analysis
Philadelphia 76ers	A	Ben Simmons was an easy move and the right one.
Los Angeles Lakers	A	Brandon Ingram is pro-ready with quite the ceiling and a good way to convince free agents to come to town.
Boston Celtics	B -	There's no reason to distrust general manager Danny Ainge, but this was an odd class.
Phoenix Suns	A+	Dragan Bender, Marquese Chriss and Tyler Ulis make for a borderline-jaw-dropping class.
Minnesota Timberwolves	B	Kris Dunn gives Minnesota flexibility, both with Ricky Rubio on the court and on the trade market.
New Orleans Pelicans	B+	Buddy Hield gets Anthony Davis some much-needed help.
Denver Nuggets	B	Jamal Murray gives Denver some much-needed name recognition and shooting.
Sacramento Kings	C	Yikes. Trades and projects aren't how you keep DeMarcus Cousins happy.
Toronto Raptors	B	Jakob Poeltl is a big boon for a team that might lose size in free agency.
Milwaukee Bucks	B	Thon Maker is the right idea for a team able to develop a center right now.
Orlando Magic	C	Serge Ibaka blocks Aaron Gordon and is a one-year rental.
Atlanta Hawks	B	Atlanta sought out versatility and got it, which is a win as the franchise heads in a new direction.
Chicago Bulls	B	Denzel Valentine is quite the get for a team wanting to improve right away.
Memphis Grizzlies	B+	Nailing down Deyonta Davis and letting him learn from Marc Gasol is a major win.
Detroit Pistons	B+	Henry Ellenson and Andre Drummond? Yes please.
Brooklyn Nets	C	Brooklyn seems to keep its head above water here, which isn't amazing.
Charlotte Hornets	N/A
Los Angeles Clippers	B +	Brice Johnson will look good in L.A.'s fast-twitch approach.
San Antonio Spurs	A	Dejounte Murray is a major steal, which makes sense based on the team stealing him.
Golden State Warriors	B	Damian Jones adds quality depth to a team running small-ball lineups.
Cleveland Cavaliers	C	Kay Felder might not see the floor anytime soon, but he provides solid depth.
Miami Heat	N/A
Indiana Pacers	B	Georges Niang gives Indiana some reinforcements down low.
Washington Wizards	N/A
New York Knicks	N/A
Oklahoma City Thunder	A	Victor Oladipo next to Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant is silly. And scary.
Portland Trail Blazers	C	Portland did like Brooklyn and had a quiet draft that might not amount to much.
Dallas Mavericks	B -	A.J. Hammons seems like the beginning of Dallas taking a serious look at the future.
Houston Rockets	B	Zhou Qi has unlimited upside and fits today's game, though Dwight Howard might not stick around to buy him time.
Utah Jazz	C	Utah wanted shooting and got it, boosting the backcourt.

Draft's Biggest Winner: San Antonio Spurs

Somehow, someway, the San Antonio Spurs keep winning, personifying the rich-get-richer theory folks like to throw around. 

San Antonio didn't have a notable selection in the order but waltzed to the podium 29th in the first round and took Washington's Dejounte Murray.

Murray, 6'5" and 183 pounds, was one of the draft's biggest later risers. He managed 16.1 points and 4.4 assists last year while shooting 41 percent from the floor. ESPN.com didn't hesitate to call him the steal of the draft:

"

The Spurs got the steal of the draft. Murray was ranked No. 9 on my final Big Board. He is a superquick, 6-foot-5 point guard with a 6-foot-11 wingspan. He's one of the best shot creators off the bounce in the draft. He plays really hard and is an elite rebounder. He isn't a great shooter, and he needs to get stronger. But he has All-Star upside, and the Spurs are the perfect team to get it out of him. Remember, Tony Parker went late in the first round too.

"

This is such a win for both sides that even LeBron James got in on the action, telling Murray ''you might not feel like you landed where you wanted, but you're with the best organization in the NBA,'' according to Raul Dominguez of the Associated Press (via Yahoo).

San Antonio has reloaded over the years in genius fashion, getting Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge to next carry the torch of contention.

Now the organization has Murray learning from Tony Parker, 34, making the Spurs by far one of the draft's biggest winners.

Draft's Biggest Shrug-Worthy Outcome: Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings had one job at the draft—improve the roster in areas of need and keep DeMarcus Cousins happy so he had reason to not demand a trade and stick around once he inevitably hits free agency. 

Swing and a miss.

Sacramento sat on the No. 8 pick in the draft and selected Marquese Chriss, a talented forward who was not only one of the most hyped players in the class but could have helped the Kings right away.

Great, but the Kings dealt the pick to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Papagiannis, Skal Labissiere and Bogdan Bogdanovic, among other assets, according to NBA.com.

And maybe unrelated, but a tweet by Cousins during the draft sure fits the theme well:

Papagiannis is a center. So is Labissiere, technically. So is Cousins.

Odd, because the Kings have point guard Rajon Rondo heading to free agency and could have otherwise used upgrades in the backcourt. Keep in mind the team drafted the 7'0" Willie Cauley-Stein with the No. 6 pick last year.

For one reason or another, the Kings just transformed themselves into the Philadelphia 76ers of the Western Conference, an approach that didn't work in the weaker Eastern Conference. Confusing, to say the least.

Draft's Biggest Winner Part 2: Phoenix Suns

The team that was able to rip off the Kings did so in epic fashion to round out a great class. 

Phoenix took Dragan Bender at No. 4, got Chriss at No. 8 via the trade and even pulled in guard Tyler Ulis at No. 34.

Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders put it best:

Where to start? Bender, an international sensation, is a 7'1", 216-pound forward who can stretch the floor with quality shooting. He's a bit of a project, but in time, he could eliminate the team's odd reliance on a platoon featuring guys such as Alex Len and Mirza Teletovic.

Chriss? A pro-ready forward at 6'10" and 233 pounds who probably should have come off the board higher after averaging 13.3 points and 5.4 rebounds last year while shooting 53 percent from the floor and 35 percent from deep.

Don't discredit the value of Ulis, either. The Suns are a guard-happy team, but it's hard to ignore a prospect some would have considered a lottery pick at No. 34. While small at 5'10" and 149 pounds, the Suns now have a rotational gem who just averaged 17.3 points and 7.0 assists per game.

It's impossible to complain about what the Suns accomplished. The organization entered the draft looking like one of the most confusing rebuilds around and used a trio of first-round picks to pull off moves best described as pleasantly surprising.

That's a big win and something the front office can build around in the coming years.
