2008 Mock NBA Draft

  • 1
    Derrick Rose

    Bulls need pg, rules favor perimeter players now.

  • 2
    Michael Beasley

    Heat need his scoring,rebounding.

  • 3
    O.J. Mayo

    Considered the best player available, though I'm not sure that is true.

  • 4
    Eric Gordon

    Looked like a Player of the Year candidate before controversies scuttled Indiana's season

  • 5
    Kevin Love

    Memphis needs a big man.

  • 6
    Danilo Gallinari

    Multi-skilled foreign player could help D'Antoni build "Suns East."

  • 7
    Russell Westbrook

    Insurance in case Livingston does not return to form.

  • 8
    Joe Alexander

    Will fit in nicely with Skiles' attitude.

  • 9
    Brook Lopez

    Nice complement for Okafor.

  • 10
    Robin Lopez

    You can't teach height and Nets' need size.

  • 11
    Mario Chalmers

    Pacers need a pg.

  • 12
    Roy Hibbert

    Kings need size.

  • 13
    Alexis Ajinca

    Chad Ford said so.

  • 14
    Kosta Koufos

    G.S. needs another big guy.

    You may be right but if I understand the rules of the contest correctly the winner will be the person who gets the most picks correct starting with number one, so if I got the first nine right I will be in pretty good shape :)

    Eh i liked it up till #10 chalmers, hibbert, ajinca all reaches. At the same time mocks are impossible becasue i see many trades (blazers, GS, T-wolves etc....) so its to hard to call. Solid mock though

    dude on espn says the warriors are goiing to get Kosta Koufos but i really doubt it and hope they dont. hes big and slow and the games i saw, he got beasted on in the big 10. he would nt fit with the warriors. i am kind of hoping that the warriors get augistine (sorry for spelling) from texas. hes a pg who he can learn from baron for a year (if baron stays) and could give the warriors one of the quickest guard combos in the game, and a bright future.

    The Heat will not take Beasley at All! and you dont have Bayless in the top 14 he will be a top 6 pick. This leads me to believe you know nothing about the Nba or the upcomming draft.

  • ybrss09 said June 26, 2008

    We'll see what happens with Beasley but I think that you are right that it was a mistake to leave Bayless out. If you check out my site then you know that I follow the NBA a lot more closely than I follow the NCAA; I filled out the mock draft on a lark when I saw the contest for the Oden jersey.

  • ybrss09 said June 27, 2008

    Well, the Heat took beasley second as I predicted and Bayless went 11th, not in the top six, so perhaps you don't know as much about the NBA Draft as you think that you do. I got six of the first eight picks exactly correct and I transposed four and seven or I would have had the top eight perfectly. Nine of the players I listed as top ten picks went in the top ten.
