1st Mock Draft 

Post#1 » by TheOGJabroni » Wed May 14, 2008 9:42 pm

Here's my first mock draft I have posted on here. Feel free to suggest whatever and I'll look to make adjustments accordingly once the lottery results are in.

Miami
Michael Beasley
Obviously between Beasley and Rose. Miami goes Beasley to have a great trio in Beasley, Marion, and Wade. Lack of jumpshooters could cause a problem with Rose running the point and DWade already has great vision for a SG.

Seattle
Derrick Rose
Like last year, easiest #2 pick for the Sonics. Durant, Green, and Rose form a solid core. Must look to post offense eventually.

Minnesota
OJ Mayo
Decent size for a 2 guard. Foye, Mayo, and Bassy will all see time at the point.

Memphis
Brook Lopez
Much need post offense. Legit center with great size.

New York
Jerryd Bayless
Obviously praying to win big in the lotto (maybe with the help of Mr. Stern). Bayless, if he can prove to run a team, could be very successful on the NBA level.

LAC
Eric Gordon
Clippers in dire need of backcourt help, find arguably the best wing scorer in the draft.

Milwaukee
Danillo Gallinari
Bucks with a hole at the 3, find a great overseas player here. Very smart player, who can hopefully bring more defenders to him to free up Mike Redd.

Charlotte
Kevin Love
Great offensive post player. Will complement Emeka Okafor extremely well and form a great frontcourt for years to come.

Chicago
DeAndre Jordan
Find a legit center, incredible athleticism and size makes Jordan to hard to pass up.

New Jersey
Anthony Randolph
BPA. With there being a good chance NJ gets blown up, they might as well start by taking the best players they can.

Indiana
DJ Augustin
A solid point-guard who can create his own offense and look for others. With a healthy Jemaine O'Neil, DJ could possibly get this offense flowing.

Sacramento
Marreese Speights
A post player to play alongside Spencer Hawes in the future.

Portland
Russell Westbrook
Great combo guard who can eventually start at the point with Brandon Roy and the rest of the young, impressive core in Portland.

Golden State
Nicolas Batum
A wing with handle and shooting ability is always someone who will fit in with the Warriors' philosophy.

Phoenix
Kosta Koufos
A replacement for Shaq down the road. Has a constantly improving inside game, and still has that PHX style of outside shooting.

Philadelphia
Darrell Arthur
A solid high post scorer to play along with Dalembert.

Toronto
JaVale McGee
Tremendous athlete and good size to play the center. With a 3 point shot now, McGee has great potential with the Raptors' organization.

Washington
Chase Budinger
A shooter with impressive athleticism to come off the bench in Washington.

Cleveland
Jason Thompson
An intriguing prospect. Has a tremendous feel for the game and can eventually replace Big Ben or Z in the future.

Denver
Donte Greene
With Melo possibly on the trading block, Donte Greene could be a great fit in Denver. He is a 6'10" SF with great shooting touch.

New Jersey
Roy Hibbert
New Jersey is in need of another big man, and Hibbert who was once talked about as a lottery picks luckily falls to them.

Orlando
Chris Douglas-Roberts
Great slashing game to complement the plethora of shooters on the magic.

Utah
Joe Alexander
If AK47 finally leaves the Jazz, Alexander will be a solid replacement.

Seattle
Wayne Ellington
A good role player who can really light it up from 3 and possibly, with work, can man up some PG minutes if Ridnour or Watson are not around.

Houston
Robin Lopez
A defensive big, really to replace the ever-aging Mutumbo and back up the injury-prone Yao.

San Antonio
Brandon Rush
A good defensive wing off the bench to replace the aging Bowen and Finley and spell Manu of his minutes.

New Orleans
Courtney Lee
A pick of need. When looking at the Hornets roster they really need a SG and at this point, he is the BPA at his position.

Memphis
Joey Dorsey
A solid defender that Memphis can pray will have the same type of impact Ben Wallace once had for the Pistons.

Detroit
Davon Jefferson
Off the bench, SF is really the only position of need and Jefferson has terrific potential and there will be no real pressure to succeed right away.

Boston
DeVon Hardin
A potential pick, Bill Walker and Hardin seemed to look the best cause neither will demand minutes right away, but both potentially could have a major impact on this franchise in future years.
