2007 NBA Draft File

[AD23forMVP]

I'll update this thread after every 10 players that I create. We'll discuss the ratings in this thread as well.

Use this formula if you want your adjustment considered:

[AD23forMVP]

[BeeBall Reasons]

Player: Greg Oden
Before Ratings: B D+ D- A- A- A
Suggested Ratings: B D+ D A- A- B

Reasons: Greg Oden entered the league as an elite player with a big NBA body and a great deal of skill. However knee injuries made it to where we never saw an improved Oden and I'm not sure his game would have improved anyway as his physical tools were at his peak at a young age.

I think peak ratings of
B+ C- D+ A A (every letter grade of my suggested ratings improved by one)
should be expected of Oden.

With his current potential he could be the best player in the league, A Shaq who can shoot. I think a better projection would be a better scoring Camby.

[BeeBall Reasons]

Player: Yi Jianlian
Before Ratings: C+ inside
Suggested Ratings: A+ inside
Reasons: Have you seen him go one on one with that chair?

Who is Sean Williams?! Lol

Is Marc Gasol not in this draft?

Looks like he's mostly going in order of the actual draft

[IamQuailman]

Oh ok, sorry about that!

[AD23forMVP]

BTW I'll post the numerical ratings for all of the real drafts first round prospects when I'm done with the top 30.

Kevin Durant
Before ratings handles C and rebounding C-
Suggested ratings handles B and rebounding B
Reason for change: if a C rating means avg to below avg as I was told then I don't think Durants handling can be that. He has always had above avg handles for his size. Always bringing the ball up the court himself running the offense. As far as the rebounding being a C- is the biggest one for me cause Durant was an above avg rebounder coming out of college. He was 1st in the big 12 and 4th in the nation at rebounding. I understand he wouldn't be that good in th nba but to be projected as a below avg rebounder at C- when he was 1 of the best rebounders in college in his freshman year is a little off base IMO.

Kevin Durant
Before ratings handles C and rebounding C-
Suggested ratings handles B and rebounding B
Reason for change: I want KD to be better for me.

Give what up? Is this thread not for what I posted?? Does the rebounding thing not make sense? I really just need A's across the board!!!!! Hahahaha ok I give up now

[IamQuailman]

Player: Al Hortford, Marc Gasol, Joahkim Noah, Mike Conley
Before Ratings: B potential
Suggested: A potential
Reasoning: all of these guys have developed into premier players at their positions

I also agree with this. I think Horford is rated too low for inside too. Conley is too low on handles as well IMO.

[BeeBall Reasons]

Conley is a little low
Gasol and Noah need better handles.

Yea I'd move Oden to 75 potential especially when he's so close to B+ inside and A defense.

[BeeBall Reasons]

as of right now I'd take Oden number one with no regrets.

[BeeBall Reasons]

Julian Wright
A defense
B+ defense
we watch the same guy right? He's such a boneheaded player.

[NOLa.]

Only observation I have right now is that there are only 2 players with A potential for a strong 2007 class but 4 in last years weak class. And 1 of of the 2 is a player who has played 82 games in his career.

but all of the players have inflated initial rankings save Durant. Aldridge was like B- inside and B- defense and C+ boards? Alot of these players could start right now.
