Paolo's offensive game, from scoring to passing is already there, and most first-year players see improvements in shooting %s as they get older.

If you have Chet stashed away on your roster you're either very fortunate and still have a contending team, or you're tanking, and you're looking at another top-3 rookie pick coming your way. If you're in the latter group, keep working on making moves that'll set you up for next season, because your team is on the way up.

He's going to get heavy minutes in Houston and he's a decent enough defender to pair along side Sengun. My only worry is his FG% for somebody at the PF spot (42.9% in his most recent year in college), and how that's going to translate playing in a team like Houston.

I'd have Sharpe higher if he landed on another team. He's Portland's best asset to include in a package for a star player, but his time on the court is going to be pretty inconsistent in his rookie season so long as he stays in Portland. The upside is definitely there though.

Hats off to Atlanta, because they keep on drafting guys that I really like, but they keep on drafting players who play in an already deep position, and AJ is no exception. He's already a great shooter (44.7% from 3 in college), and a good rebounder for his position. He needs work defensively, but most rookies who aren't defensive specialists do.

Strap yourself in though, because it could be rough to start with.
