No. 1 - Derrick Rose - Chicago Bulls
Rose returns to his hometown of Chicago. The playmaking point guard who led Memphis to the national championship game should step in immediately as the team's floor leader.
No. 2 - Michael Beasley - Miami Heat
While the Bulls opted to pass on the power forward, Miami didn't let him slip. As a freshman, Beasley averaged 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds for Kansas State, and should provide the Heat with a much-needed inside force.
No. 3 - O.J. Mayo - Minnesota Timberwolves
Mayo dazzled in both high school and for USC. Now he'll get a chance to put his scoring talent on display for a team that ranked in the bottom of the league in points scored. Mayo averaged 20.7 points and 2.7 three-pointers per game in his lone college season.
No. 4 - Russell Westbrook - Seattle Sonics
Scouts were enamored with the UCLA guard's freakish athletic ability. Seattle was impressed enough to make him the surprising No. 4 choice. Westbrook will join Kevin Durant and Jeff Green in a very young and exciting starting five.
No. 5 - Kevin Love - Memphis Grizzlies
Some have knocked the center from UCLA over his size and conditioning. But Love, who averaged 10.6 rebounds per game in his freshman season, could form a strong duo with the athletic Darko Milicic in the Memphis frontcourt.
