2014 NBA Draft

Draft Board

Prior to the NBA Draft each year, The Court of Gold releases its "NBA Draft Board," which shows the rankings of the top 70-75 players in the Draft. Prospects are rated on a 40-100 point rating system; a player with a score of "100" indicates that the player is a "franchise changer," while a player with a score of 40 indicates that the player is likely to have a short stint in the NBA.

Below are The Court of Gold's rankings for the 2014 NBA Draft (published June 26, 2014):
