Ultimately, the top two picks in the Draft turned out to hold little drama, as the Bulls and Heat stuck to the script and selected Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley. But the rest of the board revealed surprises aplenty, from dramatic slips to questionable stretches and plenty of trades. We break down the results for each team and grade them based on their pre-Draft and Draft-day riches.

	Chicago Bulls Picks: Derrick Rose (No. 1), Sonny Weems (No. 39), Omer Asik (trade with Portland) Grade: A- As expected, the Bulls got their man in Rose. Picking up Asik via trade was a savvy move with an eye toward the future; Weems seems rather redundant given their current lineup, although there was really nothing else the Bulls needed that could be filled by No. 39. And really, this is all about Rose.
	Miami Heat Picks: Michael Beasley (No. 2), Darnell Jackson (No. 52), Mario Chalmers (trade with Minnesota) Grade: A Arguably the best draft night for any team this year. Despite rumors of a Mayo infatuation, the Heat got Beasley, who will instantly increase the offensive output of this team. And then to get Chalmers via trade from the No. 34 spot is the instant upgrade at the point that Riley was looking for. Jackson might even turn out to be a solid role player off the bench. Well played by the Heat.
	Minnesota Timberwolves Picks: Nikola Pekovic (No. 31), Kevin Love (trade with Memphis) Grade: C+ We think Love is going to be a solid pro, but why give up Mayo for him when your starting point is Sebastian Telfair? And Pekovic won’t be hopping the pond anytime soon.
	Seattle SuperSonics Picks: Russell Westbrook (No. 4), Serge Ibaka (No. 24), DeVon Hardin (No. 50), Sasha Kaun (No. 56), D.J. White (trade with Detroit) Grade: B Westbrook gives them a fantastic perimeter defender, something they are in desperate need of. A bit of a reach at No. 4, since his offensive game seems to have a fairly limited ceiling. But getting Ibaka and White to help on the frontline—White potentially now, Ibaka likely later—were solid pickups.
	Memphis Grizzlies Picks: O.J. Mayo (trade with Minnesota), Darrell Arthur (trade with Houston via Portland via New Orleans) Grade: B- The Grizzlies needed to add bulk, which is why the Love-Mayo swap is mystifying. While Mayo will fit in nicely in the off-guard slot in Memphis, the Grizz also gave up their best perimeter shooter and now have a roster full of tweeners and undersized guards. But getting Arthur via a web of trades was a stellar move.
	New York Knicks Picks: Danilo Gallinari (No. 6) Grade: B+ The Knicks made the most of their lone pick, despite their fans’ evidence to the contrary. Gallinari is a D’Antoni kind of guy, and with fan support already falling, there should be no hesitation to season the young guy from day one by letting him adapt to the NBA.
	L.A. Clippers Picks: Eric Gordon (No. 7), DeAndre Jordan (No. 35), Mike Taylor (trade with Portland) Grade: A- Great draft for the Clippers. Gordon was the best pick for them in that spot and gives them scoring punch and tough-mindedness in the backcourt, while Jordan was an absolute risk-free steal at No. 35 (dude was projected as high as the late lottery).
	Milwaukee Bucks Picks: Joe Alexander (No. 8), Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (No. 37) Grade: B- This would be in the C range if not for the Draft-day acquisition of Jefferson, a more polished scorer than Yi. So why, then, would they draft another small forward in Alexander? It made plenty of sense with Yi in town, but not with RJ. On the other hand, Mbah a Moute is a keeper and good fit, as he’s a solid defender—something the Bucks have been desperate for on the frontline.
	Charlotte Bobcats Picks: D.J. Augustin (No. 9), Alexis Ajinca (No. 20), Kyle Weaver (No. 38) Grade: C+ Two risky picks by MJ. If they work out, he looks like a genius. But Augustin, as tough as he is, was a bit of a stretch at No. 9; he’s an undersized guard joining an undersized team, and he has trouble finishing at the rim. Likewise, Ajinca is risky at 20. If he doesn’t pan out—and most big, post-playing Euros tend to go that way—many will point at Ajinca’s measly 5 ppg average in France and say, “I told you so.”
	New Jersey Nets Picks: Brook Lopez (No. 10), Ryan Anderson (No. 21), Chris Douglas-Roberts (No. 40) Grade: A- With their position on the board, this is really a best-case scenario for the Nets. They finally got a tough and offensive-minded big man in Lopez, who was projected as high as No. 3 in some mock drafts. And CDR at No. 40 was another coup for Jersey, as he should be a reliable scoring option off the bench from the get-go.
	Indiana Pacers Picks: Brandon Rush (trade with Portland), Roy Hibbert (trade with Toronto) Grade: B Rush provides an excellent counterbalance to recently acquired T.J. Ford at the point, with more size and solid defending to go along with good shooting range. Hibbert, however, seems a bit of a curious choice for the Pacers; despite their need for size, which Hibbert has plenty of, the plodding behemoth doesn’t seem to fit into a Jim O’Brien offensive scheme.
	Sacramento Kings Picks: Jason Thompson (No. 12), Sean Singletary (No. 42), Patrick Ewing Jr. (No. 43) Grade: D Honestly, we see this as the Kings picking up three role players, which, when you’ve got the No. 12 pick and an absolute need for a point guard—with Brandon Rush sitting there for the taking—is a terrible, terrible waste.
	Portland Trail Blazers Picks: Jerryd Bayless (trade with Indiana), Nicolas Batum (trade with Houston) Grade: B+ Kevin Pritchard has quickly developed into one of the premier GMs in the League, using a whirlwind night of trades to turn Brandon Rush into Jerryd Bayless to add more scoring punch to his backcourt and picking up Nicolas Batum, who, despite recent concerns about his heart, could be a great wing player for them in the near future to team with or spell Brandon Roy.
	Golden State Warriors Picks: Anthony Randolph (No. 14), Richard Hendrix (No. 49) Grade: C+ Randolph seems like the perfect kind of guy for Nellie’s slightly deranged offensive system. But weren’t we saying the same thing last year about Brandan Wright?
	Phoenix Suns Picks: Robin Lopez (No. 15), Malik Hairston (No. 48) Grade: B The run-and-gun era is truly over in the desert. Lopez was a solid if unspectacular pick in this spot; he’ll provide them with a defensive-minded big to spell Shaq, and with a little help from the Big Aristotle could even develop a neat little offensive game.
	Philadelphia 76ers Picks: Marreese Speights (No. 16) Grade: B- Another solid if potentially unspectacular mid-rounder, this one from Philly. Speights has plenty of upside, so it’s an enticing pick, but on a roster loaded with similarly sized (and similarly young) big guys, he might not see much PT going forward.
	Toronto Raptors Picks: Nathan Jawai (trade with Indiana) Grade: B+ This pick alone is not worth the B+, although they could certainly use a big body like Jawai north of the border. But as the pick came courtesy of the trade that brought more size in the shape of Jermaine O’Neal, we have to give the Raptors a B+ for so definitively upgrading their interior defense, a glaring weakness last season.
	Washington Wizards Picks: JaVale McGee (No. 18) Grade: C+ McGee has plenty of potential and has yet to fill out, but the Wizards need help right now in the paint if they have hope of making noise with their big three (who we believe will likely stay put). An NBA-ready body like DeAndre Jordan, still left on the board at this point, might have been more appropriate.
	Cleveland Cavaliers Picks: J.J. Hickson (No. 19) Grade: B- Hickson is still pretty raw, but he’s another active big man with good defensive instincts for the Cavs to add to their rotation. We would have liked it a little better if they splurged for Courtney Lee to give LeBron a big guard who could either shoot it from outside or create his own shot going toward the basket.
	Orlando Magic Picks: Courtney Lee (No. 22) Grade: B The Magic had two glaring holes—a big power forward and a consistent 2 guard—and opted to fill the latter. Lee played all four years at Western Kentucky, so he has enough experience, as well as the filled-out frame, to contribute right away.
	Utah Jazz Picks: Kosta Koufos (No. 23), Ante Tomic (No. 44), Tadija Dragicevic (No. 53) Grade: B+ The Jazz needed to get more depth and size in the frontcourt, and they addressed that need quite well. Koufos (7-1) is young, but with a little conditioning, he could displace Mehmet Okur (it doesn’t hurt that he shoots like him, too). Tomic (7-2) will be stashed away in Europe but with more bulk could become a very valuable contributor.
	Houston Rockets Picks: Maarty Leunen (No. 54), Joey Dorsey (trade with Portland), Donte Greene (trade with Memphis) Grade: B+ The Rockets addressed two needs: getting young defensive help in the interior and getting a slashing scoring threat off the bench. Dorsey, with some focus, could develop into a shot-altering and rebounding machine, and Greene provides a diversified offensive game to hone as a second-teamer.
	San Antonio Spurs Picks: George Hill (No. 26), Goran Dragic (No. 45), James Gist (No. 57) Grade: B Far be it from us to question to wisdom of the Spurs’ picks; they’ve mined the Draft for with spectacular results over the past decade. Hill hasn’t played in the big time, so it seems like a bit of a risk. But his junior year numbers (21.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 4.3 apg, 45 percent on threes) suggest a well-rounded, if a bit undersized 2 guard, a place where the Spurs need youth badly. Dragic will stay in Europe for a few years for more seasoning.
	New Orleans Hornets Picks: None Grade: B+ This is a young team that needs to add a veteran with big-game experience, so trading the 27th pick—a slot at which the Hornets could not have done enough to address their needs at the 2—for cash considerations makes sense.
	Detroit Pistons Picks: Deron Washington (No. 59), Walter Sharpe (trade with Seattle) Grade: B- Sharpe was a nice pickup via trade, as he could be a nice do-it-all role player after some time in the D-League.
	Boston Celtics Picks: J.R. Giddens (No. 30), Bill Walker (trade with Washington), Sammy Erden (No. 60) Grade: A- Risky picks, but we reward Danny Ainge for having the guts to take a player with character issues in Giddens and physical issues in Walker. If either of them pans out, they will have been steals thanks to their enormous upside.
	Dallas Mavericks Picks: Shan Foster (No. 51) Grade: C This is rated so low because the Mavs left Darnell Jackson, the overlooked Jayhawk, on the board. Could have developed into an excellent role player in a system that rewards such play.
	L.A. Lakers Picks: Joe Crawford (No. 58) Grade: C Not much the Lakers could have done here. Crawford isn’t likely to stick around the League long.
	Denver Nuggets Picks: None Grade: C- The Nuggets traded their No. 20 pick to Charlotte for a future protected first-round pick the day before the Draft, but we think they could have done something at that spot (although they couldn’t have known Arthur and Jordan would slip so low). Their No. 50 was previously traded to Seattle.
	Atlanta Hawks Picks: None Grade: N/A The Hawks’ picks—No. 15 and No. 42—went to Phoenix (as part of the Joe Johnson trade) and Sacramento (as part of the Mike Bibby trade).
