With the 11th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, the Indiana Pacers select Kevin Love.

I think he's Andrew Bogut 2.0,,

i been waiting so long for the draft lottery its not even funny

to the knicks finally moving in the right direction

i GOT A FEELING WE GET DERRICK ROSE

but the knicks will draft either:
1. derrick rose
2. michael beasley
3. o.j mayo
4. d.j augustin
5. jayred bayless

[InspiredLebowski]

I think he's Andrew Bogut 2.0,,

Fine with me with the 11th pick.

[berraco]

Memphis should get a top 2 pick. Beasley is more than necessary for the Grizzlies. I'm almost sure that Rose will be #1 pick for almost any team with real chances in the lottery, so Beasley would be available at #2.

[veilside23]

there is no way that augustin will be the 5th pick... it would be crazy i mean he is really good but i dont think he deserves to be pick that high...

I think it will be miami who gets the first pick... rose + wade + matrix is quite interesting just really depends on their back up...

number 2 pick is a toss between seatle and minny. i do hope minnies get it ....

about kevin love i dont think he is bogut 2.0 he will be just kevin love he can take his game to the nba.... love will be better than that bogus pick i mean bogut hahahaha if pacers get him he can be a good addition... plus a steal for the 11th pick ..

Jay-Z is going to rep the Nets at the lotto.

Come on, peeps! Play the mock draft while you wait in anticipation! Took me like, 12 tries to get the Knicks at #1.

[i seen hippos]

I didn't want to make one if this will be used, but I think we should stickie a mock draft thread for after the lottery tonight.

[Qwyjibo]

I just hope the top 2 go out West again just like last year. If teams like New York, Miami, Chicago or even New Jersey get up there then that'll probably send the Raptors back to the lottery next year.

[i seen hippos]

That's a good thing. lol We could use Rubio as our future star guard or Thabeet once Bargnani gets deported.

To be honest I thought the same thing about two Western teams getting the picks though. In fact I want Seattle to get the #1 and Portland the #2 this year.

Rose
Durant
Green
Wilcox
Crap

and

Crap
Roy
Beasley
Aldridge
Oden

I don't like Beasley at the 3 cause I think he's too slow, but it would be interesting nonetheless. The teams would be one C and one PG away respectively from being great teams.

Aldridge and Beasley could almost be interchangeable on offense depending on the matchup.

The teams drafting the other player would make it simpler, but I don't like Beasley and Durant together.

[FireMcFailPlease]

I am officially now, nervous.

[Qwyjibo]

I wouldn't mind if Memphis got 1 or 2. They'd obviously want Beasley but to me they are the kind of irrelevant team that I wouldn't mind seeing get one of these picks. Build around Conley, Gay and Beasley and see what happens. I doubt they'll be keeping Mike Miller around for long and IMO Darko sucks and will suck until the end of time so they'd still need fill the SG and C spots.

Same here....since it could be make/break for us
