My bad. He would of gotten the Amazing potential due to being top tier prospect but I did mention his future is uncertain. But I get the worry about amazing raw potential grade. He’s got a lot of athleticism but with a B+ inside, he can score inside too

Honestly biggest surprise was Bibby over VC. Rightfully so due to notes. Most GM’s would of went VC at 3 but Tk listen to notes. Always trying to help fellow GM’s…

We put them up for newer GM’s though

Components of inside grade:
Inside scoring+
Strength (affects defensive ratings as well)++
Jumping (dunking)+++

Effect on scoring:
Inside Scoring +++
Strength +
Jumping +

The aspect that actually does the bulk of the heavy lifting in scoring doesn't reflect heavily on the grade. Bottom line is athletic players that are not given corresponding good inside finishing (inside scoring), will look great letter grade wise, but may never translate into great stats.

Harrington at 5 is surprising. I thought he would be there at 8

Makes sense to me. JB likes to take risks on draft picks; I got that impression last year with SJax.

Bibby: Good at everything, amazing potential, May end up being best player in draft
VC: high explosiveness and high athleticism (aka rating inflation), unknown whether he can score or not, and can’t shoot 3s. Oh and just as bad rebounder as Bibby.

I wouldn’t even take VC at 4 with those notes.
