AA's 2008 Mock Draft

Tuesday, June 24, 2008


Hey why not right? Thursday is one of my favorite days of the year and there isn't much going on today outside of a bunch of apologies. Below is my attempt at a Mock Draft but before I get into it here are a few thoughts....

Thought #1: I don't know why, but this draft looks even weaker than the Kwame Brown Draft. If I was picking past spot seven or eight I would just put the names on a dart board and fire randomly.

Thought #2: Most Drafts are heavy on guards but there are about 40 Glen Davis' just sitting at the end of the first/beginning of the second. After the Top Ten there isn't a good NBA point guard out there.

Thought #3: Candidates who could slip: Gallinari, Darrel Arthur, Roy Hibbert and any foreigner that Chad Ford puts in the first round.

Alrighty, now that we've got that out of the way....here's how I see it going down.....

1. Bulls- Derrick Rose, PG (Memphis)
