NBA Mock Draft
By: Derek Pivko
Who will be #1, Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley? T
his has been the question have since Chicago pulled off a miracle and won the NBA Lottery. Beasley worked out with Chicago on Tuesday and Rose is expected to work out with Chicago in the coming days. Can you smell the roses? Chicago will be drafting Memphis guard Derrick Rose on June 26th live from Madison Square Garden.
On the 26th, we will be watching another strong draft class like last years, if not stronger. The draft is filled with freshmen sensations not even including Rose and Beasley, we also have O.J Mayo, Jerryd Bayless, Kevin Lowe, Russell Westbrook, Eric Gordon and Anthony Randolph. This is not a draft that you want to miss. There are some teams that would be smart to trade down such as the Minnesota Timberwolves who need more help than any team in this draft.
1) Chicago—Derrick Rose, PG.
He is the most talented player in the draft. The addition of Rose would make Chicago a legitimate playoff contender for next season. This also would open the door for talks of trading Ben Gordon. Gordon only started 27 games last year while averaging 18.6 points a game. Meanwhile Rose is a Chicago native would make some noise for the Bulls.
2) Miami—Michael Beasley, PF.
This isn’t a bad pick. In fact in several Mock Drafts they have Beasley projected as the number one pick. Having two sure thing stars coming in this draft isn’t such a bad thing. However, when you are the Heat who quit trying to win midway through the season in order to get Rose they end up getting the second overall pick. Don’t be surprised if the Heat try and make a trade although having Beasley would make a nice combo with Dwayne Wade and Shawn Marion.
3) Minnesota—OJ Mayo, SG

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?
MARK MY WORDS, ERIC GORDON WILL GO BETWEEN 4 AND 6, HE WILL NOT MAKE IT TO THE 7TH SPOT. I PUT $1000.00 ON IT
THE ONLY REASON YOU WRITERS PUT ERIC SO LOW IN THIS DRAFT IS BEACUSE OF HOW HE STARTED TO DROP OFF TWARDS THE END OF THE SEASON. THE BAD PART ABOUT THAT IS HE WAS PLAYING WITH A BROKEN BONE IN HIS HAND AND STILL CAME AWAY WITH THE BIG TEN SCORING TITLE, AT 19 YEARS OF AGE MIND YOU.
EVEN WITH THE FACT THAT EJ WILL NOT FALL OUT OF THE TOP 6 I FEEL AS IF HIM AND DJ AUGUSTIN ARE THE HUGE SLEEPERS IN THIS DRAFT. MARK MY WORDS AND WATCH AND LEARN ONE WEEK FROM TODAY.
