Im going to assume that this is the order of the draft: 
Heat, T-Wolves, Grizzlies, SuperSonics, Knicks, Bobcats, Clippers, Bucks, Pacers, Bulls.

Heat- Michael Beasley (Kansas St.)- Miami needs serious help with there team. They need to rebuild and what better way to start then with a big scoring and rebounding threat in Michael Beasley. Beasley can play both foward positions very well, he is about 6-9 to 6-10 so height isint an issue with him. Beasley like i said is an AMAZING player. He avgs. close to 27 PPG and almost 13 RPG. He is a player that could come right out of college and jump right into as a starting foward.

Now look at three stars on the Heat: D-Wade at SG, Marion at either SF or PF and Beasley at either SF or PF. To me that would be a great way to start rebuilding the lost Miami team.

Player comparison: Carmello Anthony

T-Wolves- Derrick Rose (Memphis)- The wolves are in need of help at the guard position. They have a great up coming star in Jefferson but there problem is they need someone that can help him score and get him the ball. Derrick Rose is a player that can help your team in any way. He can score, pass, dribble, and even sometimes rebound. He is used to being on a good team so i think putting him on a team that needs help would really test to see how good of a player is. This would be a great pick for the wolves.

Now look at two stars the wolves would have: A PG that kinda reminds me of Jason Kidd, and Al Jefferson who is young and COULD be the next big thing.

Player Comparison: Jason Kidd

 

Grizzlies- Brook Lopez (Stanford)- Grizzlies look like a promising team in the future for me. With a good center in Lopez, i think it would be all the better. Lopez is a big presence in any game. Good size at around 7 ft. has great potentiol and would fit in perfectly with the Grizzlies. There team for the future would be a big threat with great potentiol in: Mike Conley at PG, Rudy Gay at SF, and Brook Lopez at C. three young players that could be the next best things. (kinda like the Boston 3 but the younger version)

Player Comparison: ? cound think of anyone (any suggestions)

SuperSonics- Eric Gordon (Indiana)- Seattle is once again a rebuilding team right now. they have a great rising star in Kevin Durant (SF) who has lots of potential. Now imagine Durant and Gordon. Gordon is a player that has an amazing jump shot! he is pretty quick and strong. His only weakness is he is a little bit short for the SG position and needs to work on his passing a little bit.

Player Comparision: reminds me a little bit of Kobe Bryant or D-Wade. (any suggestions)

 

Knicks- DeAndre Jordan (Texas A&M)- Knicks could really use a big guy and Jordan would work great for them. He fits there style perfectly and the Knicks really need someone to score and rebound for them. He has great size and athleticism, is a great rebounder but 2 things he could use some work on are: 1) post skills- He has the height he just needs to get better at posting up 2) jump shot could improve a little. The thing that stands out the most about him to me is his athleticism and quickness for being a 7 ft. center.

Player Comparision: Dwight Howard

 

theres the top 5 picks in the draft. heres my last 5 now if your still interested.

 

Bobcats: Jared Bayless

Clippers: O.J. Mayo

Bucks: Darrell Arthur

Pacers: Russell Westbrook

Bulls: Roy Hibbert

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runners up: DJ Augustine, Kevin Love, Darren Collinson

Just a hunch, but I don't think that Beasley will be taken first overall.

March 2, 2008  03:52 PM ET

I'd compare Michael Beasley to Shawn Marion; they're very similar in their versatility, shooting, and rebounding skills. Brook Lopez reminds me of a poor man's Tim Duncan

^^ thanks. i was drawing a blank on Lopez comparision and i was thinking about Marion too for Beasley

An NBA mock draft can be tough, I mean you have the draft lottery as well as players that may stay or go at any age. Add to everything who knows what players will pull a D Wade and show they have talent in the tourney.

All in all a good layout of picks, for what we know now.

First off, you're making the extreme assumption that the Timberwolves will be drafting second overall, which isn't possible. They do not have any particular aspect of their franchise the NBA can use for its own gain (arena drives in Portland and Seattle, for example. Those get you the top two picks).

By rule in the NBA, the Timberwolves are not allowed to draft higher than third, provided they are allowed to draft at all (thanks, Coach McHale! We love Joe Smith!). If/when they are, they must take the prospect with the skill set that is the least likely to turn into a strong NBA player (see: Foye, Randy and McCants, Rashad).

It seems to me Rose is too legitimate of a player in your estimation to end up in Minnesota.

^^ thanks for your opinion... i didnt no that so thank you

The Derrick Rose Jason Kidd comparison is a bit strande seeing that Kidd is a traditional pass first PG while Rose is more of a scoring PG. Baron Davis is a much better comparison. Brook Lopez compares very well to a former twin from Stanford who also was a lottery pick Jarron Collins. Just look what he has done. Brook should be better however. He is more agressive a better scorer and a way better defender. He shouldn't be a lottery pick however esspecially #3 and those 3 are definetly not a younger version of the big 3. It would be lucky if one of the three you mentioned averaged more than 20 PPG in their career.

nice read, keep um coming

i like how you put the player comparisons and photos, very nice

Why would DeAndre Jordan Be an NBA pick? He plays at a mediocre university for basketball, and sports in general. He doesn't even start for Texas A&M, He doesn't score or anything. He is a big body, but not very good...yet

And don't leave out blake griffin he's got skills ready for the NBA, He Averages 17 points and 10 rebounds, last i checked thats better than deandre jordan.
