NBA Draft Lottery - May 20th

[garnett_21]

Draft Order:
Beasley
Rose
Lopez....Wolves don't need another SG in Mayo....unless he can play the PG fulltime

My top 5 prediction...

Miami
Minnesota
Seattle
Memphis
LA Clippers

If it wasn't for Chicago, I would have nailed the top 4.

Seattle at #4 may not be bad for them. If they want a PG, they can grab D.J. Augustin with that pick. They may even be able to trade down a few spots and still get him.

miami doesn't deserve the top 5 picks... they didn't even deserve a lottery pick.

bulls could use this for a big man, which makes their offensive struggling pfs. noah, thomas, for trade.

twolves was the only team i was rootin for. they didn't give up, had their little run in the end, and jefferson is a beast. hopefully they get the player they need.

Wolves need MAYO, he has future value such as taking over games!!!!

[halekulani]

d'antoni got owned big time - he should have chosen chicago

as for the bulls, they need a true inside presence. either they trade for one or draft beasley. i think as far as marketing goes, i would draft rose, then trade for a legit big man.

But they need a big man more....who else do they have aside from Big Al? Gomes can't be a the fulltime PF...and Al can't be the fulltime C.....draft Lopez, start him at C, Big Al at PF, Gomes at SF, Jaric/McCants at SG and Foye/Telfair at PG....if we draft Mayo, it'd be:

C Al Jefferson
PF Gomes
SF Brewer
SG Mayo
PG Foye/Telfair

I think the first lineup will be better in the long run

You from MN? I am.

I think Bulls need to take rose instead Beasley.
They already have Deng (even though he is restricted FA, most likely they would keep him). So trading away Hinrich and Gordon (also restricted FA, but sign and trade would happen probably) will make a room for Rose and rising youngster Thabo Sefolosha who played very well throughout last season.
They also have Larry Hughes who is impossible to move anyway.
So with packed backcourt, they need to move some players

I agree with garnett_21. The wolves DESPERATELY need a center. They've never had a good one, so hopefully they can grab Lopez. I think it'll take alotta weight off of AJ's shoulders
