quick mock draft.

1. derrick rose: although the bulls would be much better off with mike beasley, they instead choose a safe, "character-oriented" point guard to go along with the other five guards they have on their team.
2. o.j. mayo: the heat talk themselves into a corner, and the mayo/wade backcourt becomes too hot to pass up.
3. mike beasley: minnesota is confused yet ecstatic at this point, and they snatch their small forward for the next decade.
4. jerryd bayless: sonics get electric combo guard to go along with durant.
5. kevin love: grizzlies opt for slightly more versatile version of brook lopez.
6. eric gordon: too much offense for the knicks to pass up at this point.
7. russell westbrook: clippers prefer smooth shooting guard to ease livingston's transition back to the nba.
8. d.j. augustin: fills a leadership need for bucks.
9. brook lopez: allows bobcats to move okefor back to power forward and sean may back to bench. a win for all involved.
10. danilo gallinari: he slips for no good reason. nets snatch him to play in now european-style offense.
11. brandon rush: pacers gamble and rebuild around some character guys instead of guys with more upside.
12. joe alexander: kings stash away precocious talent.
13. darrell arthur: blazers take forward to come off bench and provide scoring.
14. kosta koufos: in the end, his jump shooting ability and potential to run the floor too much to pass up.
15. robin lopez: suns panic, take next jason collins.
16. anthony randolph: sixers gamble on raw talent to provide inside presence.
17. marreese spreights: now that o'neal is gone, pacers look for additional interior presence.
18. roy hibbert: wizards prefer local center with limited upside to alternatives.
19. donte greene: slipped under the radar, but a player with plenty of upside on a team that desperately needs it.
20. nicolas batum: bobcats shock planet by taking a player that makes sense at this point.
21. jason thompson: nets need interior presence and thompson provides energy and heart.
22. mario chalmers: magic take point guard to hint to jameer nelson that the door isn't so far away.
23. javale mcgee: tough interior presence to step in off jerry sloan's bench.
24. deandre jordan: sonics can't believe good fortune at this point, take raw but talented center.
25. chris douglas-roberts: too easy to take at this point.
26. alexis ajinca: spurs wrap up international center for future.
27. j.j hickson: blazers take combo forward to develop in D-league.
28. serge ibaka: grizzlies take stab at talented big man who may not sign immediately
29. ryan anderson: pistons decided to grab one more shooter to come off the bench.
30. courtney lee: rugged guard to back up ray allen.
