1a. Derrick Rose (need I say more?)
1b. Michael Beasley (Need I say more?)
3. Jerryd Bayless (reminds me of an Arenas/Bibby hybrid)
4. Brook Lopez(Chris Kaman written all over him, best center in the draft)
5. Eric Gordon (his shooting and overall offensive talent too good to fall any further)
6. Blake Griffin(young big that will only get better, great athleticism)
7. Kevin Love(more skill then any big in this draft aside from Beasley, I question if he will ever be more then a top role player though because of his severe lack of athleticism, but I could be wrong)
8. OJ Mayo (Ron Harper-MJ backcourt worked right? why wouldnt Wade-OJ?)
9. Hasheem Thabeet (Zo could mentor him)
10. Russell Westbrook (good defensive minded guard, he would fit next to Wade like GP did at his best moments, obviously Westbrook is wayyyy more athletic then that version of GP was)

NBADraft.net now has Rose going 1st, and Mayo going 3rd (when he was going 6th or 7th in previous mocks).

I kinda like Sasha Kaun. The guy reminds me of Jeff Foster OR Chris Mihm type with alil more Athletic ability. The guy just hustles for rebounds and knows where to be. The guy may never start in the league but he is the kinda of player that every team needs

Definitely! From the crazy shots. To the floaters from the free throw line. Now banking shots in and most importantly...turning it on at crunch time!!!!

Please Please Please :pray:


It'll be like having two Wades :D
