So I've gone to each team board asking fans who they would take at their respective spot...

Who would you take at 5 with these player off the board

Bulls- Rose
Heat- Beasley
Wolves- Mayo
Sonics- Bayless

It will most likely come down to Love or Gallinari.

Barone (player personnel guy) is big on Gallinari, but I think others are high on Love, but everyone would like to trade up to the #2.

Pending there is no trade, who do you take?

Love would probably be the pick. If we think about his skills he reminds me of David West of New Orleans with better offense on the perimeter and better defense. He would work well with the players we have now and instantly be included in the core nucleus going forward. The Grizz would have the power forward that is the polar opposite of Pau and have a lock on the position for the next 10 years. (This is also why the Grizz are unwilling to pay too high a price to move up to #2)

If there's no trade and Love's available, he's the pick. He workout for the Grizz was fantastic, he fills a critical need and he seems very marketable.

If we move up to #2 without trading #5 the pick will be Gordon.

The only way I see it not happening that way is if we use Gasol to move to 2 and keep 5. Then I think Brook Lopez is in play here too.

I think when it comes to reality, if Riley really doesn't want to draft Beasley, he will be hard pressed to say no to...

Miller, Conley, #28
for
Blount, Banks, #2
