2011 NBA Draft Grades: Video Rating Each Western Conference Team's Picks
Less than 24 hours since the Association and David Stern wrapped up this year’s version of the draft, It's time for the 2011 NBA draft grades. And while a true reflection of the draft won’t be known for months—maybe years—it’s never to early to take a first shot at analysis of how teams did and what analysts think about the draft.
Andy Bailey, a NBA featured columnist for Bleacher Report, reviews each team’s draft night and grades their night.
How did Andy feel your franchise did?
The Lakers drafted a point guard. Many feel San Antonio worked another coup. You know Mark Cuban isn’t going to sit on the sidelines when Dallas can draft and get stronger for a repeat bid. And while Oklahoma City is young, that doesn’t mean they didn’t try to upgrade with even more talent for an even deeper roster.
Enes, Bismack, Markieff—which of these talented players will someday soon become a major star? Which team made the right decisions and who just set their franchise back?
The West has the reigning champ, and it’s already got a handful of contenders for Dallas’ crown. Time to analyze how that conference did in the draft. What did your team earn, and do you agree with their picks?
