for some reason i didnt post them but i felt like it now because they are looking pretty good


beasley and rose and love would be huge busts
in the summer league rose has stunk and beasley's been decent

the best players would be
mayo
bayless

donte greene(you prob dont believe me but i thought he should go high)
since the summmer league ive added randolph as i didnt know he had such a good outside game and skills

Donte Green dropped 40 in the Summer League today, so maybe he should have gone higher. But then again, Marcus Banks owns the record with 42 points, and he's not exactly the GOAT out there.

BTW, Rose has knee tendinitis, which would explain his bad performance. And it's not like you can tell how good a player is by their summer league performance. It just separates the guys who can play from the guys who can't

BTW, here's my mock draft. I didn't post it until now cuz I wasn't sure, but I'm right so I'll post it now:

1. Rose
2. Beasley
3. Mayo (will be traded for Kevin Love)
4. Westbrook
5. Love (will be traded for Mayo)
6. Gallininari
7. Gordon
8. Alexander
9. Augistin
10. Lopez
11. Bayless (will be traded to Portland)
12. Thompson
13. Rush (will be traded to Indiana)

I predicted every single pick right.

Since you're good at telling the future... How do you think the Lakers will do in the finals against Boston this year?

Love has been great. Will be interesting to see if he keeps it up.

Beasley and Love will be the two best players in this draft, and I'll throw Rose in as the third, book it. Beasley will be dominant, Rose will be elite, and Love will be a little like McHale, a little like Bird, probably not as good as those guys but all-star caliber.

I don't know about the rest of the draft...those are the three guys I would bank on.

Bayless looks great so far, but summer league really isn't an indicator of anything but how well you play against NBA-level scrubs with teammates you've barely practiced with in a system you've hardly had time to learn.

In other words, you learn nothing from summer league at all, see Belinelli last season. Summer league is the perfect environment for Bayless to shine, it fits his loose style of play, but the real test will be whether he can actually play the 2 in the NBA, and if he can't whether he can be a serviceable point guard.

I would bet on the latter since he can team up with Brandon Roy at the 2, who has excellent passing skills himself, so between the two of them they should have big firepower at the guard spot (and that's not even counting Sergio, Martell and Rudy, the Blazers are stocked at guard for the next 3-5 years, and this season they still have Blake too).

All that said, you can take away a little bit from summer league, I was exaggerating earlier, but not (by) much. It's just not structured enough and the "teammates" barely even know each other.

Love is nothing like McHale

I see a little bit of McHale in Love, just like I see a little bit more of Bird's style and fire in him. Love is going to be an inside/outside threat in the NBA, shooting high percentages from everywhere, a la Dirk, though obviously smaller but his interior post play is better (as are his great passing skills).

Love is a complete player who will make a real impact in this league for the next decade to come.

Also, on that list I made earlier, I should have included OJ as one of the guys I would bank on from the draft as becoming an impact star.
