Grade: B+
Houston Rockets
No. 52: Kenyon Martin Jr., SF, IMG Academy
It was a generally peaceful night for the Rockets, who exchanged the No. 16 pick with Trevor Ariza to the Pistons and afterward clung to James Harden and Russell Westbrook for the time being, in any event.

Grade: A-
New Orleans Pelicans
No. 13: Kira Lewis Jr., PG, Alabama
A year subsequent to pulverizing the draft just by uprightness of choosing Zion Williamson, the Pelicans got him a playmaker who can blast past rivals. Lewis may need to round out his edge however he could be enjoyable to watch with Williamson.
Grade: B+
New York Knicks
No. 8: Obi Toppin, SF/PF, Dayton
No. 25: Immanuel Quickley, PG, Kentucky
The Knicks didn’t need to exchange up, all things considered, to get Brooklyn’s own Toppin. He was the best part in school b-ball a year ago and brings a hostile punch that needs some work on guard.

Grade: B+
Oklahoma City Thunder
No. 17: Aleksej Pokusevski, PF, Olympiacos Piraeus (Greece)
No. 37: Vit Krejci, PG, Zaragoza (Spain)
In spite of prevalent thinking, the Thunder don’t claim each first-round pick of the following five drafts — yet they positively appear to be attempting.

Pokusevski needs some an ideal opportunity to grow, yet the Thunder are in no surge.
Grade: C
Orlando Magic
No. 15: Cole Anthony, PG, North Carolina
The Magic are putting money on Anthony skipping back from an intense season at North Carolina, which was hampered by knee medical procedure. In the event that he re-visitations of being the player that was a top enroll out of secondary school, the Magic could have a jewel.

Portland Trail Blazers
No. 46: CJ Elleby, SG, Washington State
Elleby found the middle value of 18.4 focuses and 7.8 bounce back per game while shooting 39.6 percent from the field last season, yet he may have been somewhat of a scope.

Sacramento Kings
No. 12: Tyrese Haliburton, PG, Iowa State
No. 43: Jahmi’us Ramsey, PG, Texas Tech
The Kings must be excited with Haliburton falling into their laps. After some idea that he might have gone as high as No. 4, Haliburton will join a backcourt that highlights De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield.

San Antonio Spurs
No. 11: Devin Vassell, SG, Florida State
No. 41: Tre Jones, PG, Duke
Vassell seems like he could be the following pearl the Spurs uncover as a 3-and-D wing who was a slow developer. They followed that up by picking Jones, another player who could profit by the Spurs’ improvement cycle.

No. 53: Cassius Winston, PG, Michigan State
