Congratulations! The 2015 NBA Draft is here. You made it.

In several hours, your beloved team will welcome a new face to the franchise. That face could very well be a transcendent talent, à la Karl-Anthony Towns, or simply a much needed specialist that can fill some of the gaping holes on the roster, such as sharpshooter Devin Booker.

Either way, it’s an exciting time to be alive.

To help get an idea of what you have to look forward to, we’ve spent much of our season writing scouting reports on the NBA Draft’s top prospects. Below are links to our work. We hope they make your life easier.
