Here is the lotto after a single turn on the ESPN lotto simulator(And please note, I am far from a NYK fan, I just told myself I would only roll the simulator once and they ended up winning)..


1. New York Knicks- Derrick Rose PG
2. Minnesota Timberwolves- Michael Beasley F
3. Seattle Supersonics- Jerryd Bayless PG
4. Miami Heat- OJ Mayo G
5. Memphis Grizzlies- Brook Lopez PF/C
6. Los Angeles Clipeprs- Eric Gordon G
7. Milwaukee Bucks- Marreese Speights PF/C
8. Charlotte Bobcats- Donte Greene SF
9. Chicago Bulls- Kevin Love PF
10. New Jersey Nets- Anthony Randolph F
11. Indiana Pacers- Russell Westbrook G
12. Sacramento Kings- JaVale McGee PF
13. Portland Trailblazers- Danilo Gallinari SF
14. Golden State Warriors- DeAndre Jordan C
15. Phoenix Suns(From ATL)- Chase Budinger SG/SF
16. Philadelphia 76

Pistons need a C and a SF, in that order. No way do they take Courtney Lee who is a SG with DeVon Hardin, Alexis Ajinca and Nathan Jawai left on the board. They also will not take a PF even with the 59th pick. They will either pick a guard who they can keep in the d-league or a euro they can stay overseas with their last pick.

I dont think the Sonics would pass up on Ibaka if hes still there at #23

I see Miami taking Lopez instead.

I really don't think Chicago takes Love. Everyone thinks Paxson gonna do that, but with Gooden, Thomas and Noah all PF material I think he would take a project C first. GS doesn't play rookies the minutes they need to produce, so they take one of the bigger projects, a guy I like personally, but someone who will need minuets to get used to the NBA.

I like Mayo to Miami, he and Wade are both that combo 1-2 go its like adding .5 twice to get a full time PG and full time SG on the floor at all times with them. But no way Bayless goes over him. I doubt Milwaukee takes Donte "One Trick" Greene, they need a defensive scraping type SF, not a jump shooter.

You forgot about Joe Alexander.

Danilo Gallinari won't fall to 13 and I don't see DJ White dropping that far.

I'd love to see Portland get Gallinari, but I also don't think he'll drop that far.

8. Charlotte Bobcats- Donte Greene SF

Not with the slew of SF's we already have. I think that Randolph would be drafted by Charlotte if this was who was on the board when we pick.

I'd love it too.

I can definatley see Danilo falling. Teams are clearly becoming more and mroe hesitant to take a European player after Bustani and Skita and such.

Dont get me wrong, I think Danilo is going to be much better than those two, but the past might scare present GM's/

You have PDX drafting 4 foreign players? I can see why but 4 seems excessive. Maybe Lester Hudson instead of Beaubois? Pretty good mock overall.

No way the Rockets pass on Lopez to get Ibaka.

As for the Blazers drafting 4 players, I was assuming 3 of them are kept in Europe(The 2nd rounders). The Blazers roster is stacked and they can afford to stash some guys.

I like Lester Hudson, but Beaubois is extremley intriguing. He is a raw, defensive oriented PG with good size(6'2) and an amazing wingspan(6'10!). A real project, but he could become a Rondo type player.
