Whew. But nice try barry, nice try. Lakers won 93-91 earlier tonight to go up 3-1 against the spurs. Game 5 swings back here to los angeles on thursday at 6pm PT.
Here's another tough one... rose or beasley? Do you go with talent and leadership or with power and size?
That's been the debate for months now ever since both of these awesome college studs declared for the '08 draft. Here's a an idea on how the top 10 is shaping up, based on some mock drafts i've seen recently...
1. DERRICK ROSE. Bulls. He can fill the team's leadership void. Plus he's a hometown hero in chi-town.
2. MICHAEL BEASLEY. Heat. A no brainer pick 'coz he's the next best thing to rose.
3. OJ MAYO. Timberwolves. Team doesn't need another pg but he's just too good to pass up here.
4. JERRYD BAYLESS. Sonics. Seattle needs a scoring floor general that can compliment durant.
5. ANTHONY RANDOLPH. Grizzlies. Needs a big, athletic forward that can man the post.
6. DANILO GALLINARI. Knicks. A typical d'antoni player. That's all that matters.
7. ERIC GORDON. Clippers. An insurance policy in case livingston's return is no good and/or if magette leaves.
8. RUSSELL WESTBROOK. Bucks. Sure can help those good ol' bucks play D. A perfect fit here.
9. BROOK LOPEZ. Bobcats. Another good fit here. A legit big man that will enable okafor to slide down to 4.
10. DEANDRE JORDAN. Nets. K-mart's second coming? Looks like it.
