2012 NBA Draft Grades: Bobcats Select Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

The 2012 NBA Draft is underway and FanSided has assembled a panel of our NBA experts to grade the picks and provide reactions live as the picks come in.

Pick 2: Charlotte Bobcats

Selection: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Bryan Wendland-Roberto Gato

Everyone thought Charlotte was trading this pick. They still have the ability to do so, but Kidd-Gilchrist will probably be sticking around. He’s the second best defender in the draft, a monster atheletically and he has been described as a “coach’s dream”. His jump shot needs improvement, but other than that, Kidd-Gilchrist doesn’t have many glaring weaknesses.

Grade: A

Bryan Rosa – A Royal Pain

Outside of Davis, the best pick in the draft who comes with a motor and enthusiam rarely seen with a player so young. Wonderful pic for the Cats.

Grade A+
