Far too high for Mayo and Beasley. Those guys got renounced last year for a reason. Gordon would also drop a lot for his health and attitude

1. Rose
2. Westbrook
3. Love
4. Lopez
5. Ibaka
6. Hibbert
7. Gallo
8. Pek
9. Batum
10. McGee
11. Jordan
12. Asik
13. Hill
14. Gordon
15. Ryno

I really don't understand the Westbrook at #2 picks. Are people factoring in fit at all? Miami has Wade, how are you going to use Westbrook with him?

Not saying he can't still do some good things in a situation with high redundancy, but I don't see how that's enough to rank him ahead of everyone still remaining.

1. Chicago - Rose. Obviously they ain't switching.
2. Miami - Love. Has Brook done enough to pass him this year?
3. Minnesota - Westbrook. Easy pick.
4. OKC - Ibaka. This is a questionable one. Brook is clearly higher on a Big Board, but Ibaka clearly fits better.
5. Memphis - Brook. Easy pick.
6. New York - Hibbert. Tempted to stay with Gallo here, but Hibbert's too strong.
7. Clippers - Gordon. Can't imagine anyone else working out as well for them as Gordon did.
8. Milwaukee - Anderson. From this point on I'm pretty ambivalent...
9. Charlotte - Hill.
10. New Jersey - Asik.

Re: Pekovic. He didn't sign until he got $4 mill+. He's not getting that anywhere except right near the top of the draft, and he's not worth drafting there. If his mentality was the same as back then, he'd still have to be the #1 guy in the 2nd.

1. Rose - even though I think Westbrook is better, Chicago doesn't change this
2. Love - Wade is in Miami, no way they draft Westbrook or Rose
3. Westbrook - double awesome, they get the (current) best player from this draft, plus they don't get the opportunity to draft 3245699424 point guards the next year.
4. Ibaka - complements Durant perfectly
5. Eric Gordon - extremely good scorer if he's healthy.
6. Lopez - New York gets an excellent big man.
7. Asik - Clips get an excellent big man.
8. Pekovic - Milwaukee gets an excellent big man (seeing a trend here?)
9. Hibbert - ditto for Charlotte
10. Gallinari - NJ needs... everything
11. Dragic - Indiana gets BPA that wasn't playing Danny Granger's position
12. Batum - SAC actually gets BPA
13. Hill - BPA for POR
14. Deandre Jordan - BPA for GS
