Biggest winners and losers of the NBA Draft

The 2016 NBA Draft has come to an end, but now the fun part begins: figuring out who helped their team going forward, and who will be in the same position next year.

Please note that some grades involve trades that aren’t official yet. So players are on the teams they’re expected to go to, not the ones they were drafted by.

Winners

Oklahoma City Thunder

Domantas Sabonis, PF, Gonzaga (11) (*via Orlando); Daniel Hamilton, SF, Connecticut (56) (*via Denver)

Modal Trigger
Domantas Sabonis

By acquiring Sabonis, what Oklahoma City essentially is saying is this: We believe the best way to beat the Warriors is to beat them up.
