I cannot reiterate enough how many awesome big men there are in this draft! It's insane! I think you have to go with JaVale McGee here. And no, it's not because of the dunk contest. The dude has all the athletic ability, and if you look at his stats when he gets big minutes, he really produces. He's gonna be really good.

1. Derrick Rose - Pants
2. Russell Westbrook - College Wolf
3. Kevin Love - Wolfenstein
4. Eric Gordon - WallyWorld
5. Danilo Gallinari - Pants
6. Roy Hibbert - College Wolf
7. Serge Ibaka - BonK
8. Michael Beasley - Cycosurgeon - BUCKS
9. Nicolas Batum - Wolfenstein
10. OJ Mayo- Loyal Wolf
11. Brook Lopez - Pants
12. J. J. Hickson - Cycosurgeon
13. JaVale McGee - College Wolf

Question: "Hey Antoine Walker, why do you shoot so many 3's?"

Answer: "Because there are no 4's."

This was the draft for the tough positions to fill. 2 all star PG's, an endless list of solid centers and plenty of small forwards. Shooting guard was really the only thing missing.

Remaining players who seem to belong in the NBA: George Hill, DeAndre Jordan, Robin Lopez, Marreese Speights, D. J. Augustin, Luc Mbah a Moute, Nikola Peković, Sonny Weems, Bill Walker, Goran Dragić, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Ömer Aşık, Mario Chalmers, Courtney Lee, Ryan Anderson, Jason Thompson, Anthony Randolph. That is 17 guys. Basically every team could have gotten a rotation player from ONE draft.

Gun to my head I take DeAndre but I could be talked into Hill, Lee or Augustine. Those 3 guards have done more but the scarcity of Centers forces my hand here.

1. Derrick Rose - Pants
2. Russell Westbrook - College Wolf
3. Kevin Love - Wolfenstein
4. Eric Gordon - WallyWorld
5. Danilo Gallinari - Pants
6. Roy Hibbert - College Wolf
7. Serge Ibaka - BonK
8. Michael Beasley - Cycosurgeon - BUCKS
9. Nicolas Batum - Wolfenstein
10. OJ Mayo- Loyal Wolf
11. Brook Lopez - Pants
12. J. J. Hickson - Cycosurgeon
13. JaVale McGee - College Wolf
14. DeAndre Jordan - Pants

There are a few choices here I like, so if it were real life you'd find the team drafting choosing by need. But I'll take Jason Thompson. If he could get out of the quagmire that is Sacramento, I think you'd see that he is a better player that appears.

Also, a few other options I like are guards, and given a choice you usually take the big man.

1. Derrick Rose - Pants
2. Russell Westbrook - College Wolf
3. Kevin Love - Wolfenstein
4. Eric Gordon - WallyWorld
5. Danilo Gallinari - Pants
6. Roy Hibbert - College Wolf
7. Serge Ibaka - BonK
8. Michael Beasley - Cycosurgeon - BUCKS
9. Nicolas Batum - Wolfenstein
10. OJ Mayo- Loyal Wolf
11. Brook Lopez - Pants
12. J. J. Hickson - Cycosurgeon
13. JaVale McGee - College Wolf
14. DeAndre Jordan - Pants
15. Jason Thompson - College Wolf

Another great value pick at this point in the draft. It's insane how deep this is. So far we have 20 TOTALLY LEGIT players, and there are more out there! Most drafts after like pick #10, there's a 50-50 chance that guy won't ever do anything in the NBA!

I thought he should've been a 1st rounder then and I think he should be a 1st rounder now. He is the 4th best player on a top 5 team in the league, and shines brighter the bigger the stage. He has great all around skills and few weaknesses. But we didn't need him

Ohhhh, you stole my pick. I was gonna take Chalmers next.

I'll go with Goran Dragic (cool name, btw.) I think he is a legit NBA PG. At the very least, he's a capable backup PG.
