Handing out NBA Draft grades is guaranteed to make a writer look silly. And yet, I do them every year because you love and read them. And ultimately, even the best talent evaluators get things wrong regularly. Still, grades are a great way to reflect on how each team handled the draft and take a bigger-picture look at its roster-building goals and the overall process.I broke down the performances of all 29 teams that participated in the draft — the Portland Trail Blazers were the lone team that did not make a pick — and explained what I liked, didn’t like and what was interesting about their decisions. My grades tend to be based on two factors. First, did I think the process on how they got to their decision was right? Second, does it line up with my evaluation of the player(s)? This year, my grades are all pretty strong. Even if I disagree with a specific player’s evaluation, I could almost always see a case for why the team made that choice from a process perspective.Teams are in letter-grade order, and I tiered them according to how I’d evaluate them. I didn’t spend a lot of time parsing how to order each team within the same grade, so I wouldn’t say I “ranked” them. But I did dive deep into my thought process on the draft and the week leading up to it with any deal that involved picks.Here are my 2026 draft grades.
