1. Chicago Bulls- Derrick Rose
Derrick Rose is one of those point guards you don't want to miss out on. He could be like Chris Paul or Deron Williams, maybe even Jason Kidd. The Bulls do not want to miss out on this guy.
2. Miami Heat- Michael Beasley
The Heat really need someone like this- a great frontcourt scorer and rebounder. He could probably fill the Heat's small forward position, which needs major help because Dorell Wright is their starter.
3. Minnesota Timber! wolves- Brook Lopez
If they get this guy, they can move Al Jefferson back to PF and move Lopez up to C. He will be a great post threat for Minnesota, and then they wouldn't have to think about getting OJ Mayo or someone that would replace Randy Foye.
4. Seattle Sonics- Jerryd Bayless
The Sonics really need a point guard, and Rose would probably already be gone- so they should pick Jarryd Bayless.
5. Memphis Grizzlies- Kevin Love
The Grizzlies shouldn't pass up a C, after giving up both Pau Gasol and Stromile Swift, they need major frontcourt help. And this guy will probably help them.
6. New York Knicks- O.J. Mayo
If they pick Mayo, it would be the best choice. The Knicks need help at the PG, because Stephon Marbury i! s "hurt" and you can't have Nate Robinson start- it just doesn! 't sound right. Plus, he can switch to the SG position if help is needed.
7. LA Clippers- Eric Gordon
The Clippers need alot of help at the point guard position, after Shaun Livingston has been injured forever, it seems, and that the team gave up Sam Cassell. Gordon will be a great choice for the Clips. Plus, he can fill in a little bit of their SG needs.
8. Milwaukee Bucks- Danilo Gallinari
The Bucks need a decent small forward, and Gallinari is probably the best one available at that position. The Bucks should just hope that he doesn't go down to season-ending injury like Yi Jianlian did last year.
9. Charlotte Bobcats- Anthony Randolph
Randolph can play both Power Forward and Small Forward, which is what the Bobcats really need. They can stop talking about moving Okafor, switch him to C, and put Randolph at PF. He would be the team's perfect fit.
10. New Jersey Nets- Darrell Arthur
The Nets are desperataly in need of a great big man. Hmm....Let's see their "dominant" big men so far. Nenad Krstic. Sean Williams. Josh Boone. Yeah, Arthur would fit that position greatly.
11. Indiana Pacers- DJ Augustin
The Pacers need a Point Guard. Jamaal Tinsley is making the team look bad with his incidents, Travis Diener is not the best point guard, and so Augustin would be perfect for them.
12. Sacramento Kings- Russell Westbrook
The Kings probably are getting Beno Udrih back next s! eason, but they still need a little more help at Point Guard. ! Westbroo k was a great star along with Kevin Love at UCLA, and in Sacramento he gets big man Brad Miller, who is about the same size.
13. Portland Trail Blazers- Donte Green
At the Blazers SF position, they have to choose between Darius Miles {injured}, Martell Webster, and Travis Outlaw. They are probably getting rid of Miles, so why not take Green? He is terrific at perimeter shooting. And he is 6'10", which will bring lots of height to the Blazers' frontcourt.
14. Golden State Warriors- JaVale McGee
McGee should not slip any farther into the draft, because the Warriors need some help at center, and he has a huge amount of all-around talent. But even if they didn't start McGee, their bench would have even more depth.
