When you have Elton Brand, Corey Maggette and Chris Kaman, you don't need size. When your team leader in assists is also your 12th leading scorer, its time to look for a point guard. Derrick Rose goes to LA over Michael Beasley because the Clippers desperately need someone to man the point. Rose does that.

Michael Beasley is the no-brainer of the century here. Despite not getting the top pick in the draft, Beasley falls to Miami at number two. This doesn't really need an explanation. Beasley does it all, and should start right away for the struggling Heat.

Poor OJ Mayo. He had so much hype coming out of high school. It's almost impossible to live up to when you have uber-freshman Michael Beasley putting up crazy numbers. But Mayo gets another shot in the pros, where he won't be expected to put up 25 a game. He goes to Minnesota, who is seeking the "outside" part of the inside-outside game. They have Al Jefferson. Mayo will be the outside part.

After Pau Gasol left for the Lakers, Memphis was left without a capable big man. No longer. Brook Lopez gets it done on both ends of the floor, and he is the obvious choice here for the size-deprived Grizzlies. Don't be surprised if Lopez is starting come November. He's NBA ready, and on the Grizzlies, you don't have to be great to be a center, you just have to be big. Lopez is both.

DeAndre Jordan is the second best 7-footer in the draft, and the Bobcats are looking for somone to complement Emeka Okafor inside. Jordan can do that. He may not start right away, but look for him to have an immediate impact serving as Okafor's replacement.

Stephon Marbury is a distant memory in New York. Jerryd Bayless is the logical choice here. He's a great player who can find the open man or find a way to score himself. This is just the kind of player New York needs.

The Sonics need offense, and Eric Gordon gives them all that, and then some. He can shoot, take it to the hole and what I like most: get to the line. He was second in the NCAA in free throw attempts last year. And he won't be asked to carry the franchise, so the pressure is minimal.

The Bucks have their bangers with Bogut and Villanueva. They have their point with Mo Williams and their scorer with Michael Redd. What they don't have is someone who can come off the bench and do everything you want him to do. Danilo Gallinari is the ultimate teammate. He is a great passer, and can get open himself. Gallinari should fit well in Milwaukee.

New Jersey leapfrogs Golden State to select All-America Kevin Love. Love is a force in the low post with the strength to move taller defenders. He's an excellent passer, and don't be suprised to see him step away from the basket to drill a long jumper. He's a good all-around player, and while many expect him to suffer in the pros, he has all the intangibles to be a great role player.

The Warriors get Anthony Randolph here at 10, a steal. Randolph is a great athlete who can get up and down the floor. Watch out if he's guarding you, he'll swat your shot in a hurry. Randolph may need a year or two, but expect him to make some serious noise in the NBA once his time comes.

Chase Budinger is a great athlete, and has all the tools to be a superb swingman. He's a deadeye from beyond the arc, and has the size to shoot over shorter defenders. He can sky to the boards and take his man to the hole. Budinger is a perfect fit in Chicago.

DJ Augustin is a do it all point guard. He can score, but is a pass first guy. He's a great passer, and he should free up Brandon Roy, who is now carrying the load of a point guard while also continuing to lead the team in scoring. Augustin is a more capable scorer than current point Steve Blake, and might start immediately.

Jeff Foster was never a great center, now he's old. Kosta Koufos had scouts raving after his performance with the Greek national team. He can play with the big boys. His super long arms are also a big plus. The only knock on Koufos is that he lacks toughness, but hopefully getting to the main stage will help amp him up. Koufos might learn the game for a few years before filling in for Foster.

Marreese Speights played center in college, but will most likely fill in for Mikki Moore as a power forward in the NBA. Speights has size and strength to muscle around defenders in the low post. Don't expect Speights to sink anything far away from the hoop, though. Speights could be one of the first five on the floor for Sac-Town in 08.

Washington doesn't have a lot of depth in the PF/C positions, so adding this dynamic player from the national championship team certainly can't hurt. Arthur will provide a reliable back up for Antawn Jamison. He is a very capable player, and a dominant low post scorer. His athleticism is also above average.

The Houston Rockets don't have anyone that can play the point guard role when Rafer Alston is out of the game. Russell Westbrook played shooting guard in college, but the transition to running the point should go smoothly. Westbrook is a great shooter, is super athletic and finds the open man. He's also a lockdown defender, which is never a bad thing.

Toronto is an international all-star team. Nicholas Batum is the latest stud from overseas to join the team. Batum is known for his great defense. He has really long arms that help him swipe the ball away. He has a great jump shot, and knows his place on the floor. Batum can play about 4 positions on the court. He'll fit in perfectly with Toronto.

As great as Vince Carter has been, it's hard to imagine his legs lasting much longer. Brandon Rush is as experienced a shooting guard as you'll find. Rush is a great athlete, and while many of his points come from the three point shot, he is also very good on fast breaks. The one knock on Rush is the trouble he has creating his own shot, but he'll have a few years to work on that and learn from one of the best before he takes the helm.

Javale McGee gets his name called here, as the Sonics look to upgrade over current center Johan Petro. McGee is a prolific low post scorer, and has very good range for somone his size. McGee may not start right away, but don't expect him to be an idle benchwarmer. He'll get good minutes for the Sonics.

The Nuggets awful defense was second worst in the NBA last year, so taking a great shot blocker only makes sense here. Imagine Lopez and Camby together in the paint. That would pose a daunting task for anyone trying to get a layup on the Nuggets. Lopez is also a good low post scorer. The Camby-Lopez tandem should be a good one.

Philadelphia is known for its youth and athleticism. Why not add more? That's what they do by selecting Chris Douglas-Roberts. CDR may be the steal of the draft. He is an awesome shooter,  and can score from anywhere on the floor. CDR has an endless bag of tricks, throwing up unconvential shots that somehow go in. Though he may look like a Harlem Globetrotter on the floor, Douglas-Roberts is just a great basketball player. He will compete with Willie Green for the starting job.

Grant Hill's playing days are almost over, and that means a shooting forward is in need in Phoenix. Donte Greene is 6-10, but his game is that of a shooting forward. He can shoot the lights out and is a very good ball handler. Greene is very athletic as well. He made a big splash in Syracuse, and will look to do the same in Phoenix.

The Cavaliers need somebody to get the ball to LeBron. Who better than Ty Lawson? The short guard from UNC can take defenders off the dribble because of his quickness, but is also deadly from 3-point land. This will open up LeBron more, as well as shooter Wally Szczrbiak and center Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

The T-Wolves need all the help they can get. Joe Alexander is a guy who can muscle his way in down low, but also knock down shots from outside. He could be the next Shawn Marion, and what team wouldn't want Marion. Alexander is a strong passer as well. He'll be great next to Jefferson and Mayo.

The Magic could use some depth at the 2-guard position. Bill Walker gives them that depth. Walker played second fiddle to Michael Beasley all year, and now its his time to shine. He'll compete with Maurice Evans for the starting job right away. I think going to the Magic will be good for him, because in a team loaded with talent, he'll need to perform his best to play, which is something many rookies don't have to do(i.e. Michael Beasley). Walker will play a big role in the Magic's success, whether it be as a starter or off the bench.

Davon Jefferson provides a low post alternative to Peja Stojakovic at the shooting forward position. If you put in Jefferson, you have another great rebounder down there, as well as someone that can get points in the paint. Bonzi Wells could play 2-guard, and you would have a tough time getting outrebounded.

Roy Hibbert goes here on our mock. Some had him as a top 10 pick. Others had him in the mid-second round. We'll split the difference and say Hibbert goes to the Celtics to try and help out their center position. Right now, Kendrick Perkins is the weakest starter on this near All-Star team, and Hibbert gets the nod here because Boston is looking to win a championship within the next two to three season. They need to upgrade fast.

The Memphis Grizzlies already selected Brook Lopez, but one guy may not be enough to improve their big man situation. DJ White is a guy with four years of college experience, and that should be a big factor in why the Grizzlies take him. They need help right away. and White should be able to provide that help. He's a big guy, so he should have little trouble against most NBA defenders.

The Detroit Pistons rank among the oldest teams in the NBA. They need a guy who can provide a spark off the bench, give some life to all the older guys. Courtney Lee is an athletic guy who can score in a variety of ways. Detroit's trademark is defense, Lee will provide some instant offense off the bench.

Bruce Bowen has given some great years to the Spurs, but now it's time to move on. Danny Green looks to fill the shoes of the defensive minded Bowen. Green will be able to run the floor with the likes of Tony Parker, so he should help instantly on the break. He will be a great asset to the Spurs.
