who will go first?

Beasley or Rose? I think the Bulls will take hometown product and all around good guy Rose. Beasley is probably the best player in the draft but his immaturity is an issue.

Andy Katz has killed the drama

and announced that Rose is going first. Will the Heat be retarded and not take Beasley at #2? Is Mayo a lock to Minny at 3 if that's the case? I can't wait until #14 !! -bB

whoever picks Eric Gordon is picking a bust

from what I've seen he's slow and small. sure he's a great shooter but I don't think he's going to play well at the next level. above all I don't like Gordon's attitude, seems arrogant to me.

OJ in Minnesota

Either he's excited for a rebuilding project or pissed off. He showed some good distribution maturity at USC, so I don't think he'll immediately be a "shoot first" player. Helluva guy to watch. The Wolves are without a true point guard if Telfair leaves. Do you OJ playing this role? He could do it, but a guy with his skill and ego holding the ball that much on a team that bad could add up to 20+ shots a game. Not good for a rebuilding squad or Jefferson.

So long Ridnour

Westbrook will take over by the end of the year at the point. He could be quite a player with an improved jumper

Westbrook went way to early

he's like a taller Darrell Armstrong..has no perimeter shot, unreal high pick for him. I'd take Bayless over him in a heartbeat. -The Answer

this draft is full of busts

add Gallinari to the list. in New York this guy has absolutely zero chance of doing anything. they're going to give him *no* room for error -The Answer

I'm looking at the post-draft

lots of surprises here. I thought Koufos and Greene were going to go earlier, but good value picks for their respective teams.

re:

I'm still not sure how Anthony Randolph fell to us. Talk about a solid building block. If he pans out, we have a future team including AR at the 3, Wright at the 4, Monta at the 2, and Andris at the 5...while still having a good team in the present. That all sounds great, but Randolph weighs 196 pounds and has work ethic problems. If he pans out Mullin will be praised for years. That's as big an if as there will ever be from this draft.
