Thought I'd go ahead and grade my own Mock Draft Article with a few words and a lot of research as usual 
. Here I will post who I had in my mock draft, what their ratings were, what they turned out after TC, a letter grade for my own mock and if I would select someone else now knowing how TC went.
. Here I will post who I had in my mock draft, what their ratings were, what they turned out after TC, a letter grade for my own mock and if I would select someone else now knowing how TC went.#1. Penny Hardaway
Pre TC: B C+ C+ B- C A
Post TC: B C+ B+ B C A
Grade: A+
Redraft/Thoughts: Pretty spot on here as I am giving myself an A+ although this pick was pretty easy this year. Would still pick Penny 1st.
#2. World B Free
Pre TC: B B- B- C+ D+ A
Post TC: B B B+ C+ D+ A
Grade: A+
Redraft/Thoughts: This is where it gets a bit tricky. I would still pick World here, PGs are huge in FBB and World looks like he might turn into one of the better PGs in the league. Giving an A+ for having him 2nd in my mock, would still pick him at #2 after TC.
#3. Ralph Sampson
Pre TC: B- C D+ B- B- A
Post TC: B- C D+ A- B B
Grade: A
Redraft/Thoughts: Now Ralph I probably put him a little too high but he looks like hes gonna be a really good big man here. After #2 it was pretty tough to know which big was going to be the best out of this draft, not an A+ but still a good pick, would probably pick Rasheed here at #3
#4. Rasheed Wallace
Pre TC: B C+ C- B- C+ A
Post TC: B B- C- B+ B- A
Grade: A+
Redraft/Thoughts: I was right about Rasheed being a top pick in this draft and TC def showed that. I have him here at 4 but I would probably pick him 3rd in this draft. Here I would probably have picked Hank Gathers at #4
#5. Dennis Rodman
Pre TC: C C C B+ B+ A
Post TC: C C C- B+ B+ B
Grade: B+
Redraft/Thoughts: Giving myself a B+ since I had him go at 5 even though he went 3rd in the draft. Still think he went to early and even 5th would have been too early for him. I would probably pick Dino Menighin at #5
#6. Hank Gathers
Pre TC: B- D C- B B A
Post TC: B D+ C- A- A- B
Grade: B
Redraft/Thoughts: Giving myself a really low grade here as I was totally wrong with Hank. He easily is a top 5 pick in this draft. If Hank was taken here, I would have gone with Ralph Sampson here at #6
#7. Jamal Mashburn
Pre TC: B C+ C C C+ A
Post TC: B- C+ C C C+ B
Grade: B-
Redraft/Thoughts: I rated myself a low B- because I put him way too high, unforunately even though I am a Jamal Mashburn fan he is looking really bad here after his first TC. If I had known I wouldn't even have had him in the top 13 lotto. For a redraft here, I would probably have gone with Nikos Galis** or Andrew Gaze here at #7
#8. Dino Meneghin
Pre TC: B- C C B- B- A
Post TC: B C C B A- A
Grade: C+
Redraft/Thoughts: Rated myself real low here again but for the opposite reason of Mashburn. I graded him way too low and as I said I think he is a top 5 pick in the draft. For a redraft here, again, I would choose 1 of the 2 that didn't get picked at #8 between Nikos Galis** and Andrew Gaze.
#9. Sam Bowie
Pre TC: B- C C+ B C+ A
Post TC: B C C+ A- B A
Grade: A+
Redraft/Thoughts: Besides Penny, I believe this is the only SPOT ON I picked in the draft. Not only did he get drafted 9th in the real draft, I had him go 9th and even with the redraft I would still pick him here at #9
#10. Sergio Llull
Pre TC: B- B- C+ C C- A
Post TC: B- C+ C+ C C- A
Grade: C
Redraft/Thoughts: Oh boy was I wrong about Sergio. I had him at 10 but he went 13 and I don't know if hes even worth there. Giving myself a C here seems fair, with a redraft I would probably go with Toni Kukoc here at #10 which he also did go drafted at 10 in the real draft.
#11. Toni Kukoc
Pre TC: C+ B- B- C+ C A
Post TC: B- B- B C+ C A
Grade: A
Redraft/Thoughts: I was off by 1 pick here. He did do a lot better than I thought he would in TC as well but 1 pick off is a pretty good pick I made. If Kukoc went #10 like I have, I would have went with Bob Boozer or maybe Tom Gugliotta here.
#12. Bob Boozer
Pre TC: B- C+ C- C+ C+ A
Post TC: B- C+ C- B B- B
Grade: A
Redraft/Thoughts: Had Boozer going 12 and was pretty spot on. Him and Gugliotta here are pretty close and both have good notes and both look pretty alike. Would still take him or Gugliotta whichever didn't go 11th here. Still incredibly happy and shocked I was able to get him at #16.
#13. Andrew Gaze
Pre TC: B- B C C+ C A
Post TC: B- A- C+ B- C- A
Grade: B+
Redraft/Thoughts: Picked him at 12 and had him at 13 in the mock draft. Boy am I happy that I was wrong. I think after TC he is easily a 7/8 pick here at worst. In my opinion the biggest steal of the draft. Kinda reminds me of Knecht with the Lakers right now. I guess this is where Jamal Mashburn should of gone.
PS. I FORGOT RODMAN BUT I WOULD HAVE PUT HIM SOMEWERE BETWEEN 7-9
