Grades for 2011 NBA Draft Picks 21 through 30

Here?s a quick look at the grades that I give for picks 21 through 30:

21. Portland Trail Blazers: Nolan Smith, SG Duke

Honestly in my opinion this was a horrible pick. Smith wasn?t even considered a first rounder.

Grade: D-

22. Denver Nuggets: Kenneth Faried, PF Morehead State

I?ve heard lots of good things about Faried and I think he will do well in Denver.

Grade: B

23. Houston Rockets: (to Timberwolves) Nikola Mirotic, PF Spain

The received Johny Flynn for a relative unknown. Big fan of this move

Grade: A

24. Oklahoma City: Reggie Jackson, PG Boston College

Jackson was underrated in my opinion. I think he will flourish with OKC

25. Boston Celtics: (to Nets) Marshon Brooks, PG Providence

Boston ended up trading for Jajuan Johnson, who could become ok. I liked Brooks here though.

Grade: D+

26. Dallas Mavericks: (to Nuggets) Jordan Hamilton, SF Texas

Would have liked to see Dallas keep Hamilton here, so it?s a bad trade in my opinion.

Grade: D

27. New Jersey Nets: (to Celtics) Jajuan Johnson, PF Purdue

Ended up getting Marshon Brooks in a trade that I absolutely love.

Grade: A

28. Chicago Bulls: (to Timberwolves) Norris Cole, PG Cleveland State

Surprising and unknown pick, traded him away for a good value.

Grade: A

29. San Antonio Spurs: Corey Joseph, PG Texas

I don?t generally argue with the Spurs draft picks.

Grade: B

30. Chicago Bulls: Jimmer Butler SF Marquette

Jimmy Butler is very athletic and will fit nicely in Chicago.

Grade: B+
