The 2008 NBA Draft is right around the corner.  And what does that mean for c2c?  Well, actually a whole lot.  Because we’re a year behind it actually gives us a period to evaluate prospects in real life as to what they’re going to be doing in the NBA.  At least a little bit.

Check out what I think are going to be the top impact rookies and some gambles for teams like myself who are bound to be awful next year.

So, the draft has come and gone. There were in fact winners and of course some losers. This is what I hope to accomplish with this. I ran through each and every team and graded their picks and listed their current starting line-ups and notable bench players. Some may not like my grades, others probably won’t even read this. I also broke it down by division so you can see what each team in your division did during the few days. Either way, here it is. A few notes before we get to the picks:

• No team is going to get a grade after drafting late in the second round unless I see fit.
• Team projected line-ups are taken from the latest roster update.
• The trades listed were made on/around draft day and hinged on the draft picks being acquired.
• Not all trades are listed; trades involving 2nds and future 2nds were left off.
• There are a few guys listed under teams that wound up getting traded, but I admit that I got lazy.

Rookies. Or, to some: r00kEEz.

Some love them and others hate them. Well, for those who love them, this is the post for you. YouConn breaks down the upcoming r00kEE (he prefers that spelling) draft. Who is going first overall? That is a no brainer, but after that it depends on the team.

The summer league was not taking into account. After re-thinking things, YouConn decided to throw out his old mock draft and not even bother to look at results (although he cheated and kept some of the picks and words the same). If he was running each franchise, this is what he would do.

Check out his picks (with links!) after the jump.
