Bulls Win Lottery – 2008 NBA Mock Draft

The Chicago Bulls won the 2008 NBA draft lottery on Tuesday. The Bulls now have the first pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. Below you will find a mock draft and video of the Bulls winning the lottery:

1. Chicago Bulls – Derrick Rose
While the Bulls will be tempted to pick Michael Beasley, the Bulls won’t be able to pass up the best point guard in the draft. Rose will be the pick and then Chicago will trade Kirk Hinrich.

2. Miami Heat – Michael Beasley
The Heat are hoping that Rose falls to them at two but that won’t happen. Beasley will be a very good consolation prize, however.

3. Minnesota Timberwolves – Brook Lopez
The Timberwolves need a center to put next to Al Jefferson. Brook Lopez will fit the bill with the third overall pick.

4. Seattle Supersonics – Jerryd Bayless
The Supersonics needed a point guard or a center in this draft. Bayless is the draft’s second best point guard and will be a good fit.

5. Memphis Grizzlies – Kevin Love
The Grizzlies need to replace Pau Gasol and reaching for Kevin Love is a very distinct possibility. This reach would likely prove to be a bust.

6. New York Knicks – OJ Mayo
The Knicks won’t players who can run and score. OJ Mayo can run and score as well or better than anyone in the draft.

7. Los Angeles Clippers – Eric Gordon
The Clippers need scorers and Gordon has proven he can score. There’s also a chance the Clippers could go for a point guard here.

8. Milwaukee Bucks – Joe Alexander
The Bucks need a small forward so much that they’ll likely reach to get Joe Alexander with the eighth overall pick.

9. Charlotte Bobcats – Russell Westbrook
The Bobcats haven’t been pleased with their point guard play in recent years. Russell Westbrook will come in and solve a lot of questions.

10. New Jersey Nets – Darrell Arthur
Darrell Arthur helped his stock after a very good showing in March Madness. He’ll be a good fit in the run and jump system in New Jersey.

11. Indiana Pacers – D.J. Augustin
The Pacers are yet another team that desperately needs a point guard and Augustin is the best point guard left on the board.

12. Sacramento Kings – Anthony Randolph
The Kings need a power forward and Randolph has all the tools to be a very good power forward on the NBA level.

13. Portland Trail Blazers – Danilo Gallinari
After the poor showing from international draft picks in recent years, Gallinari’s stock will fall. However, he could help his stock when working out with teams.

14. Golden State Warriors – Chase Budinger
The Warriors like skilled players who can do everything – and Budinger should fit right in with that philosophy.
