NBA Mock Draft 1

So now we know the order of the lottery so it seems like the right time to get started with the Mock Drafts. This is a very basic lottery mock draft for now. I'll get more detailed with each pick soon, but wanted to get this one out there for now. A few things I'd like to mention: I think the Timberwolves should go with OJ Mayo at #3, but I think they will go Brook Lopez. Danilo Gallinari seems to be destined for New York because of his relationship with Mike DiAntoni, however if Mayo somehow falls to the Knicks it would make things interesting for them since it could bring legitimate star power back to the Garden and you know the fans would be impatient with Gallinari. Anyhow, best guess at this point in time:
1. Chicago Bulls- Derrick Rose, PG Memphis
2. Miami Heat- Michael Beasley, PF Kansas State
3. Minnesota Timberwolves- Brook Lopez, C Stanford
4. Seattle Supersonics- Jerryd Bayless, PG Arizona
5. Memphis Grizzlies- O.J. Mayo, SG USC
6. New York Knicks- Danilo Gallinari, SF Italy
7. Los Angeles Clippers- Anthony Randolph, SF/PF LSU
8. Milwaukee Bucks- Eric Gordon, SG Indiana
9. Charlotte Bobcats- Kevin Love, C UCLA
10. New Jersey Nets- DeAndre Jordan, C Texas A&M
11. Indiana Pacers- DJ Augustin, PG Texas
12. Sacramento Kings- Russell Westbrook, PG UCLA
13. Portland Trailblazers- Joe Alexander, SF West Virginia
14. Golden State Warriors- Darrell Arthur, PF Kansas
