NBA Draft Grades: Comprehensive Breakdown of Every Pick, from Zaccharie Risacher to Bronny James

The historic two-day NBA Draft has concluded, bringing plenty of excitement and notable selections. In Round 1, Zaccharie Risacher was the top pick for the Atlanta Hawks and received mixed reviews. The Washington Wizards landed Alex Sarr, who many consider the best prospect, while the Houston Rockets bolstered their backcourt with Reed Sheppard. Meanwhile, Bronny James, son of LeBron James, captivated everyone by being picked 55th overall by the Lakers.

Moving on to other highlights, the San Antonio Spurs took a gamble on Stephon Castle. Kyle Filipowski, who slipped into the second round, was snagged by the Utah Jazz, earning high marks for value. The Memphis Grizzlies’ selection of Zach Edey also stood out, praised for his potential compatibility with Ja Morant in pick-and-roll situations.

In Round 2, noteworthy picks included Johnny Furphy, who finally found a home with the Indiana Pacers after unexpectedly dropping, and Tyler Kolek, a standout assist leader, joining the New York Knicks. The Lakers ending up with Bronny James not only made headlines but also raised questions about whether the pick was purely a sentimental gesture or a strategic play.
