My Top 10 Rough Mock 

Post#1 » by Jose7 » Wed Jan 23, 2008 9:14 pm

1. Minnesota Timberwolves- Michael Beasley. SF/PF, Kansas St
- Wolves are terrible but let's not forget they are missing their most explosive player and young leader in Randy Foye. They have Foye, Telfair, McCants, etc so they dont need a guard, the will have a trio of good players with Beasley, Foye and Big Al Jefferson. Along with Ryan Gomes, Corey Brewer, Craig Smith, etc they have a pretty good future.

2. Miami Heat- DeAndre Jordan, C, Texas A&M
- Shaq is done. It's quite obvious and if this team doesnt turn it around for next year, DWade is going to be gone in a Flash as he can opt out in 2011 I believe. Jordan is a guy who is very athletic, shows flashes of greatness. He's a physical specimen for his size, although he is raw offensively at his age, his size makes up for it.

3. Seattle Supersonics- Derrick Rose, PG/SG, Memphis
- No brainer here. Earl Watson is a good PG but they need a floor general who can take over games. PJ Carlisemo has great tools on that team. Green, Durant, Collison, Wilcox, Wilkins, etc. Adding Derrick Rose will definitely elevate that team with his power/speed game. He's as explosive as you can be from the point guard position even with his lack of shooting.

4. Memphis Grizzlies- OJ Mayo, SG/PG, USC
- I dont get this team at all. Look at all the talent they have, Gasol, Gay, Mike MIller, etc. They have a future great combo in Lowry and Conley so that's set. They have good wings but I honestly see them taking a risk here with a big name. Though I dont think he's more talented then others they can take here, if he lives up to his potential, he is a game changer and someone who can close out games offensively for them which they are missing.

5. New York Knicks- Eric Gordon, SG/PF, Indiana
- The Knicks are a mess and they need a ton of things but I think they need to revamp their backcourt before anything. Eric Gordon has been the best player in the big 10 this year. Unlike Rose he doesnt have his size or courtvision but also unlike Rose he has arguably the best jumpshot in college basketball, up their with Lofton and Bayless. Rose gets to the FT line at will or he can just shoot from the moon if needed. He is a scorer, who has big time potential.

6. Los Angeles Clippers- DJ Augustine, PG, Texas
- They need a floor general with Livi's serious injury, Sam I am cant do it for them.

7. Philadelphia 76ers- Jerryd Bayless, PG, 76ers
- He is my personal favorite player in the draft. Silky smooth jumper, can score anyone on the court, he can compliment Iguodala and louis Williams nicely.

8. Milwaukee Bucks- Nicolas Batum, SF/SG, France
- They lack talent at the swingman position. They have MIchael Redd but that's it.. Simmons is trash and Charlie bell is a role player at best.

9. Charlotte Bobcats- Danilo Gallinari, SF/PF, Italy
- This team had a set back when they took Adam Morrison who was terrible in his rookie year and didnt warrant such a high lottery pick. Danilo is the most talented player left here, talent is something they need.

10. Chicago Bulls- Roy Hibbert
- Their frontcourt consists of Ben Wallace, Tyrus Thomas, Joakihm Noah, Joe Smith, nuff said. Smith is solid, Noah and Thomas are good defensively and Big ben is done. Hibbert would immediately start for them.

Beasley is NOTHING like Al Jefferson.

Beasley lives on the perimeter and attacks the basket while driving with the ball, or on cuts. He also, has a great outside shot.

Al Jefferson is more of a downlow force, with his up and under fakes and lives within 5 feet from the basket, little to no outside shot and no perimeter game.

They are just completely different players, other than the fact they both can score the ball and rebound the basketball.

I love Al Jefferson, but Beasley potentially offers much more.

donte green wil def. be a top 10 pick. I can see him going to the clippers and or the bucks. The sixers could draft him but they dont realy need him. the only way the sixers take green is if they are taking the bpa.
