Picks 1-30 Mocked with Deadly accuracy... I hope also rumours of possible draft day trades and rumours updated in real time Players on the Rise based on Workouts, OJ Mayo, Jerryd Bayless, Eric Gordon, Brooks Lopez Players falling based on their Workouts, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Javale Mcgee, Deandre Jordan Suprise pick of the draft, Mario Chalmers goes 13th in my Mock

  • 1
    Derrick Rose

    scouts love the PG, he’s local, character guy, proven winner, needs to improve outside shot, immediate impact

  • 2
    Michael Beasley

    crazy scorer, future ROY, potential 25 pt plus 10-15 rebound per game guy

  • 3
    OJ Mayo

    best player available, immmediate impact, eventual star

  • 4
    Brooks Lopez

    can score from post and board clears the way for them to deal Chris Wilcox

  • 5
    Kevin Love

    athletic, fundamentally sound big man to replace the one they lost.

  • 6
    Jerryd Bayless

    stock rising as he has been great in workouts, D’antoni loves the scoring PG

  • 7
    Eric Gordon

    Clipps need backcourt help bad, Westbrook will be tempting but that good at everything great at nothing PG will lose out to Air Gordon’s scoring ability, maybe a steal here

  • 8
    Joe Alexander

    New Gm drafts best athlete in draft, crazy upside, super athlete, possible star, almost certain to create most rookie highlights, dude can fly

  • 9
    Russell Westbrook

    currently no backup PG to Felton, worth the risk as Westbrook was once thought to be top 5 pick, does everything well

  • 10
    Danilo Gallinari

    versatile scorer, can really shoot has Toni Kukoc like game, lacks athleticism

  • 11
    DJ Augustine

    undersized, great shooter, good leader if they make that trade for TJ Ford, look for them to pick a centre here

  • 12
    Anthony Randolph

    upside and risk here Anthony is either the next Chris Bosh or the next Bust, looks great and lost at times, Mario Chalmers also strong possibility here

  • 13
    Mario Chalmers

    suprise here Mario has been great in work outs, good defender looks Nba ready, would allow the Trailblazers to move Roy back to SG more often, also maybe pick most likely to get dealt; Portland has great young team need to add a Veteran or two

  • 14
    Kosta Koufous

    doesn’t Gstate always pick around here in the draft, nice pickup good upside, solid Nba centre, a year or so away developmentally, projected top 5 pick in 2009 came out 2008
