Just for fun, obviously impossible with trades:

1- Chicago - Derrick Rose (Duh)
2- Miami - Michael Beasley (He never plays a game for the Heat in his career though, what is Riley thinking?)
3- Minnesota - OJ Mayo (Bayless is better)
4- Los Angeles - Eric Gordon (They get their man)
5- Memphis - Kevin Love (Building block, hustler, think Carlos Boozer)
6- New York - Russell Westbrook (again, Bayless is better)
7- Seattle - Brook Lopez (Going back to that well....)
8- Milwaukee - Joe Alexander (Lock it up, they love him and so do I)
9- Charlotte - Jerryd Bayless (They want a center or point, jackfreakinpot)
10- Portland - DJ Augustin (trades with NJ to jump over Indiana to get him, Pritchard loves him)

11- Indiana - Anthony Randolph (The "upside" guy, I think they could take Hibbert here though)
12- Sacramento - Roy Hibbert (had him ranked higher than Hawes on last year's board)
13- New Jersey - Danilo Galinari (Yi, Gali, and LeBRon on '10???)
14- Golden State - Kosta Koufus (It's him or Rush, or maybe Donte Greene)
15- Phoenix - Brandon Rush (Suns would be doing cartwheels, Chalmers probably if Rush is gone)
16- Philadelphia - Darrell Arthur (Get you JayHawks heeeeere!!!)
17- Indiana - Mareese Speights (Need a big body inside)
18- Washington - Donte Greene (Replaces Jamison eventually)
19- Cleveland - Robin Lopez (Hair partner for Varejeo)
20- Charlotte - DeAndre Jordan (Got the PG, now got the Center... in 4 years, ha)

21- New Jersey - JaVale McGee (Cluster**** of long, lanky players who aren't very good, I'd take Hickson)
22- Orlando - Courtney Lee (They fill the 2 guard need, what a pick this late)
23- Utah - Mario Chalmers (Awesome back-up for Deron and can play some '2' also, onions)
24- Seattle - JJ Hickson (nice inside game, Top 10 pick if he stayed another year)
25- Houston - Nicolas Batum (No clue who he is but I heard Houston is taking him)
26- San Antonio - Ryan Anderson (Unreal if they get him, and somehow, they will)
27- Blazers - Ante Tomic (See Batum comments)
28- Memphis - Jason Thompson (Rider product has skills.... Memphis management doesn't)
29- Detroit- Bill Walker (Promise made???)
30- Boston - Chris Douglas-Roberts (I'd be foaming at the mouth, maybe George Hill but I can't pass CDR in this spot, he's a Top 15 talent)

Also played 1 UNIT:

Players drafted from the Big 12 OVER 6 (+150)

Basically, I'm getting 3/2 that word of the Pistons "promise" to Bill Walker at #29 is true. Beasley, Augustin, Rush, Arthur, Chalmers, and Jordan should all be within the Top 25, if not Top 20.

No. 1 - Derrick Rose - Chicago Bulls
Rose returns to his hometown of Chicago. The playmaking point guard who led Memphis to the national championship game should step in immediately as the team's floor leader.



No. 2 - Michael Beasley - Miami Heat
While the Bulls opted to pass on the power forward, Miami didn't let him slip. As a freshman, Beasley averaged 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds for Kansas State, and should provide the Heat with a much-needed inside force.



No. 3 - O.J. Mayo - Minnesota Timberwolves
Mayo dazzled in both high school and for USC. Now he'll get a chance to put his scoring talent on display for a team that ranked in the bottom of the league in points scored. Mayo averaged 20.7 points and 2.7 three-pointers per game in his lone college season.



No. 4 - Russell Westbrook - Seattle Sonics
Scouts were enamored with the UCLA guard's freakish athletic ability. Seattle was impressed enough to make him the surprising No. 4 choice. Westbrook will join Kevin Durant and Jeff Green in a very young and exciting starting five.



No. 5 - Kevin Love - Memphis Grizzlies
Some have knocked the center from UCLA over his size and conditioning. But Love, who averaged 10.6 rebounds per game in his freshman season, could form a strong duo with the athletic Darko Milicic in the Memphis frontcourt.

No. 6 - Danilo Gallinari - New York Knicks
A talented 6-8 forward out of Italy, Gallinari should give the Knicks some offensive help on the perimeter. Gallinari's father is friends with Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni, as the two of them were in the Italian league together



No. 7 - Eric Gordon - Los Angeles Clippers
Gordon is a 6-4 guard out of Indiana who should be able to play either point guard or shooting guard for the Clippers. During his one season with the Hoosiers, Gordon averaged an impressive 20.9 points per game.



No. 8 - Joe Alexander - Milwaukee Bucks
A talented player out of West Virginia, Alexander gives the Bucks great shooting ability and toughness at either forward spot. Earlier in the day, Milwaukee sent Yi Jianlian to New Jersey for Richard Jefferson



No. 9 - D.J. Augustin - Charlotte Bobcats
Though he's barely six feet tall, point guards don't come much quicker than Augustin. The Texas alum averaged 19.2 points per game in his sophomore season, and will compete with Raymond Felton for playing time.



No. 10 - Brook Lopez - New Jersey Nets
Brook Lopez (not to be confused with his twin brother, Robin, who went to the Suns at No. 15) should provide New Jersey with plenty of interior defense and scoring. Brook averaged 19.3 points per game for Stanford last season as a sophomore.
