Last night after the NBA Draft had ended, reporters, analysts, coaches, GMs and players provided some thoughts about the 2012 draft selections.A lot of it was detailed, thought-provoking and supported by evidence of some sort.

Some of it was not.

I've included the best of the worst below the fold:

1. Anthony Davis - New Orleans Hornets

"He can just play." - Hornets head coach Monty Williams

2. Michael Kidd Gilchrist - Charlotte Bobcats

"He'll do what needs to be done." - Vince Cellini, NBATV

3. Bradley Beal - Washington Wizards

"He's going to be a good shooter in this league." - Wizards head coach Randy Wittman

4. Dion Waiters - Cleveland Cavaliers

"He's electric with the basketball." - NBA analyst Greg Anthony

5. Thomas Robinson - Sacramento Kings

"[The Kings] need the motor that Robinson brings to the table." - Chad Ford, ESPN

6. Damian Lillard - Portland Trail Blazers

"Yep, they drafted another point guard." - Joe Freeman, The Oregonian

7. Harrison Barnes - Golden State Warriors

"Whatever my ceiling is, I'm definitely going to try to reach it." - Harrison Barnes

8. Terrence Ross - Toronto Raptors

"[Ross] could take your breath away, but he was just as likely to leave you yelling at the TV." - Kevin Dowd, Seattle PI News

9. Andre Drummond - Detroit Pistons

"You don't know the next time you'll be able to get a physical specimen like this." - Joe Dumars, Detroit Pistons general manager

10. Austin Rivers - New Orleans Hornets

"Because he's the son of a former NBA player, he knows exactly what he has to do to get better." - NBA.com draft profile

11. Meyers Leonard - Portland Trail Blazers

"[My interviews were] very professional and mature. I showed up with a suit." - Meyers Leonard

12. Jeremy Lamb - Houston Rockets

"Ideally, it would’ve been nice to be able to pull off a trade that really would’ve helped the team." - Kevin McHale, Houston Rockets general manager

13. Kendall Marshall - Phoenix Suns

"He just isn't an athlete." - Jay Bilas, ESPN

14. John Henson - Milwaukee Bucks

"We're going to get Milwaukee rocking again." - John Hammond, Milwaukee Bucks general manager

15. Mo Harkless - Philadelphia 76ers

"I feel that Boston would be a perfect situation for me." - Moe Harkless, earlier on Thursday

16. Royce White - Houston Rockets

"So much for that fear of flying obstacle...and the inability to shoot with a passable percentage. Buckle your seatbelts." - Randy Peterson, Des Moines Register

17. Tyler Zeller - Dallas Mavericks (traded to Cleveland)

"I don't know much [about Cleveland]. But I do know that I'm from Indiana, I'm from the Midwest. So it can't be that different, right?" - Tyler Zeller

18. Terrence Jones - Houston Rockets

"[Terrence Jones] is just a rugged guy." - Kevin McHale, HoustonRockets general manager

19. Andrew Nicholson - Orlando Magic

"We wanted to identify good players" - New Orlando Magic general manager Rob Henningan on his team's draft preparation

20. Evan Fournier - Denver Nuggets

"I don't want to burst anybody's bubble, but I don't think the 20th pick in this draft is going to be better than Jordan Hamilton or Julyan Stone, and they didn't play this year." - George Karl, Denver Nuggets head coach

21. Jared Sullinger - Boston Celtics

"Even though he's long-armed, he's not a great athlete that elevates over people and he's not a great defender, and he's not a great runner, but he's a 6-foot-9 guy that knows how to play" - Jay Bilas, ESPN

22. Fab Melo - Boston Celtics

"I don't know what you can project. Obviously, he has size." - Doc Rivers, Boston Celtics head coach

23. John Jenkins - Atlanta Hawks

"He is a guy that has potential to get into a rotational lineup," - Larry Drew, Atlanta Hawks head coach

24. Jared Cunningham - Cleveland Cavaliers (traded to Dallas)

"Athletically, he's similar to Russell Westbrook." - Rick Carlisle, Dallas Mavericks head coach

25. Tony Wroten Jr. - Memphis Grizzlies

"He probably doesn't address a specific need. He is not a shooter. He may become a point guard, in time." - Chris Wallace, Memphis Grizzlies general manager

26. Miles Plumlee - Indiana Pacers

"It's not a sexy pick by any means." - Larry Bird, Indiana Pacers general manager

27. Arnett Moultrie - MIami Heat (traded to Philadelphia)

"Our feeling was (Moultrie) was one of the top 10 players in the draft." - Rod Thorn, Philadelphia 76ers general manager

28. Perry Jones - Oklahoma City Thunder

"Before I say too much, what I’d like to do is just make sure our group has a chance to see him." - Sam Presti, Oklahoma City Thunder general manager

29. Marquis Teague - Chicago Bulls
