Part 1 of 3 (This is lengthy)
2008 NBA Mock Draft
2008 NBA Mock Draft
1,) Chicago Bulls
Roster
Hinrich/Curry(TO)
Gordon*(RFA)/Hughes/Sefolosha
Deng*(RFA)/Nocioni/Nichols
Thomas/Gooden/Simmons
Noah/Gray
UFA: Shannon Brown and Chris Duhon
Team Needs: Right Now, the Bulls are in dire need of some inside scoring or an inside presence. They don't have alot of cap room with the expected signings of Gordon and Deng, so they'll either have to trade or draft to fill that need. They also need a pure point guard to possibly right the ship. Hinrich plays more of a two guard than point guards game.
The Pick: SF/PF Michael Beasley Kansas State Fr.
2.) Miami Heat
Roster
Banks/Quinn(RFA)
Wade/Cook
Wright(RFA)/Lasme
Marion(ETO)/Haslem/Johnson
Blount/Anthony
UFA: Barron, Davis, Williams, Mourning
Team Needs: Just Look at that roster, if Marion returns, which seems likely, they'll be set at the wing positions for years to come with Wade/Marion/Wright. The real holes begin at point guard and center, the 2 toughest holes to fill in the NBA. Luckily for the Heat, the Bulls took Beasley, leaving the best available point in the draft available.
The Pick: Derrick Rose Memphis Fr.
3.) Minnesota Timberwolves
Roster
Foye/Telfair(RFA)
Jaric/McCants/Buckner
Gomes(RFA)/Brewer/Snyder(RFA)
Walker/Smith(RFA)
Jefferson/Richard(RFA)/Madsen
UFA: Doleac
Team Needs: This team is one of the youngest teams in the league, so some veteran help will be needed. This team may need a decent 2 or 3 to create their own shot. Lastly, a big bodied Center to help lighten the load for Jefferson and allow him to move back to his natural PF position is needed
The Pick: PG/SG OJ Mayo USC Fr.
4.) Seattle Supersonics
Roster
Watson/Ridnour
Durant/Wilkens
Green/Gelebale(RFA)/Griffin
Wilcox/Collison/Marshall
Petro/Swift(RFA)/Sene
UFA: Dupree and Elson
Team Needs: This team needs to get rid of Watson or Ridnour. It's been much speculated, but I believe it's time. Look for Ridnour to go. But with that said, a PG may be needed or another center.
The Pick: PG/SG Jerryd Bayless Arizona Fr.
5.) Memphis Grizzlies
Roster
Conley/Crittenton/Lowry
Miller/Navarro(RFA)
Gay/Cardinal
Warrick/A.Brown(RFA)
Milicic/Collins
UFA: K.Brown and Jacobsen
Team Needs: Oh where to begin...how about a big? This team will need a big body to replace Pau Gasol. Also, possibly a backup 3 could be needed on this team.
The Pick: PF/C Kevin Love UCLA Fr.
6.) New York Knicks
Roster
Marbury(ETO)/Robinson/Collins
Crawford/Jefferies
Richardson/Belkman/Chandler
Randolph/Lee/Rose
Curry/Morris(RFA)/James
UFA: Jones
Team Needs: Well there's plenty of needs with this team. This team still needs a point guard to run the Mike D'Antoni system, they'll also need some wing help for Crawford and another big doesn't hurt when you've got the overweight twins in Randoplh and Curry manning the 4 and 5 respectively.
The Pick: PG DJ Augustin Texas So.
**The Knicks are famous for off the board picks...I don't know if the trend will continue though
7.) LA Clippers
Roster
Knight/Livingston(RFA)
Mobley
Maggette(ETO)/Thornton
Brand(ETO)/Thomas/Powell
Kaman/Davis(RFA)
UFA: Dickau, Parker and Ross
Team Needs: With the possibility of Maggette departing, this team is in need of wing scoring plain and simple. Another point guard would be nice too, but they need a scorer.
The Pick: SG Eric Gordon Indiana Fr.
8.) Milwaukee Bucks
Roster
Williams/Bell
Redd/Sessions/Storey(RFA)
Simmons/Mason/Ilyasova(RFA)
Yi/Villanueva
Bogut/Gadzuric
UFA: Ruffin, Ivey and Voskuhl
Team Needs: Possibly a point guard to facilitate the offense and another wing scorer or defender to help out Michael Redd. The Forward position is pretty good right now for the Bucks.
The Pick: SF Anthony Randolph LSU Fr.
9.) Charlotte Bobcats
Roster
Felton
Richardson/Carroll
Wallace/Morrison/Dudley
Okafor(RFA)/May/Davidson(RFA)
Mohammed/Hollins(RFA)
UFA: Harrington, Boykins and Anderson
Team Needs: A big man who can rebound and score is in order for this team. Another back up point is another need, but that can be filled via free agency or trade.
The Pick: C Brook Lopez Stanford So.
10.) New Jersey Nets
Roster
Harris/Williams
Carter/Hassell/Ager
Jefferson/Wright
Williams/Boone
Krstic(RFA)
UFA: Swift, Diop, Armstrong and Nachbar
Team Needs: This team is in need of a post scorer and rebounder. Also another wing player might not be out of the question. The future of either RJ or VC is still in question with the Nets and another wing scorer would be a nice catch.
The Pick: C DeAndre Jordan Texas A&M Fr.
**It came down to Jordan or Gallinari, I picked the kid with the greater upside, aswell it fills a need for the Nets.
Draft As of Now...
Chicago: Michael Beasley
Miami: Derrick Rose
Minnesota: O.J Mayo
Seattle: Jerryd Bayless
Memphis: Kevin Love
New York: D.J Augustin
LA Clippers: Eric Gordon
Milwaukee: Anthony Randolph
Charlotte: Brook Lopez
