NBA Draft

[CrazyTickler]

I know its a little early to be talking about this but if you do have a mock Draft how is you top five and to what team?

Here's is my top five players by name, size, position and school* to which Team* they will go to and why that team should be draft them:

1. Micheal Beasley 6-10 PF, Kansas State, Chicago Bulls : The Bulls are a young team their most experienced player is Larry Hughes with nine years. So they should draft Beasley and move him to the 4 spot. Then, start Joakim Noah at center and put Kirk Heinrich and Larry Hughes as the guards and then worry about small forward later.

2. Brook Lopez 7-0 C, Stanford, Miami Heat: Brook was one of the "Twin Towers" at Stanford and he is the better defender of the two brothers and that can be a catapult to rebuild the Heat with concerns about Alonzo Mourning. They would probably want to shake it up a bit if they draft Brook.

3. Derrick Rose 6-4 PG, Memphis, Minnesota Timberwolves: The T'Wolves can build around this young, explosive player, he is in my opinion one of the best pure PGs in this class. Then the T'Wolves can build around him with the talent they have in KG trade. With Sebastian Telfare, Al Jefferson, Corey Brewer, and Chris Richard. Derrick would feel comfortable in Minnesota

4. D.J. Augustine 6-0 PG, Texas, Seattle SuperSonics: Although most experts place Jerryd Bayless at this spot I say D.J. Augustine deserves to be taken. Ignore the craziness with the Sonics situation in Seattle and look towards what they need now. D.J. is a young player according to Rick Barnes, his coach he has the ability to make everyone better, he is a excellent passer. But that may be his weakness, because he tends to pass rather than take a shot. I mean come on, Kevin Durant was quoted as saying "I don't think I would be where I am today without D.J. (Augustine)." Plus with Durant whatever comes from the litigation, the Sonics will do better than this year.

5. O.J. Mayo 6-5 PG/SG USC, Memphis Grizzlies: O.J. Mayo is explosive and athletic. He is fast and can drive the lane at lighting fast speed. But in my opinion his weaknesses are Defense, Passing and Rebounding, and he struggled with the concept of team play. Because he was usually the sparkplug that got them going on offense and still the only one playing, but he has great potential and great work ethic. So with Marc Gasol, Rudy Gay, Mike Conley, O.J. Mayo will fit in with Memphis.

NBA Draft (cont)

Well, continuning on with my projected draft, I'm finishing out the top ten draft picks:

6. Jerryd Bayless 6-3 PG, Arizona, New York Knicks, Jerryd is a good player and I think that his explosiveness will suit him better in New York than Seattle, but thats my opinion.

7. Eric Gordon 6-4 SG, Indiana, LA Clippers, Eric is able to drive to the basket and finish. He lead the Big Ten in scoring as a freshman. I had him going 13th overall to the Trail Blazers because of the shooting slump and the collapse that hit Indiana after the Kelvin Sampson scandal came to light. But I have been impressed by his work ethic and he will improve.

8. Kevin Love 6-10 C, UCLA, Milwaukee Bucks, Kevin is pretty much the Bill Walton of our era (hopefully without the injuries) he fights down low and gets rebounds and has the ability to hurl it down court like Bill could. With Andrew Bougut, Micheal Redd, the Bucks won't be instant winners, but will be competers this time.

9. Anthony Randolph 6-10 C, LSU, Charlotte Bobcats Anthony is the only thing that was good about LSU mens Basketball this year. They fell from being in the Final Four to not even being in the NCAA or NIT tournament. While I don't think that Anthony will be an immediate impact he has great potential to a staple in the Bobcats future.

10. Courtney Lee 6-5 SG, Western Kentucky (Kentucky), New Jersey Nets, Historically Courtney is tied for the all-time scoring list for WKU and third for the Sun Belt conference. The Nets will be greatly helped with Courtney Lee and with captain Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson and their supporting cast, look for the Nets to make some noise.

That's my top ten I will continue with my mock Draft as soon as the Finals are over. Sorry about having the Kentucky in white its their school color. But in the mean time 🙂 LATER!!!
