We are breaking down each teams performance in the NBA draft. Some did well, but for some we definitely can not say the same. Check out what your team did.

The 2016 NBA Draft could have taken many different directions, outside of a consensus top 8.  International prospects played a huge role in the draft; 26 out of 60 were born outside the United States, an NBA league record.
