The Bet.com NBA basketball season may just have finished but the league is already gearing up for next campaign with the 2008 draft which takes place on the Thursday.
The Chicago Bulls will have the first round pick when we get underway and they are likely to plump for Memphis guard Derek Rose. The six foot three league freshman of the year will bring the Bulls all the attributes you want from a guard.
He has excellent speed and stamina as well as that important calmness in front of the basket. Nicknamed “Pooh” he averaged 19 points in his 30 games for Memphis which helped him earn a place in the USA Basketball Junior National Select Team.

Kansas State forward Michael Beasley is the probable choice of Miami as the second draft pick. A giant at six foot nine he averaged an impressive 26 points at college level and won countless awards for his efforts. He’ll be a good addition for the Florida side with unbelievable strength, which he uses to good effect to grab rebounds and has the ability to score from almost anywhere.
After these two the draft is more open. OJ Mayo could be packing his bags and heading to Minnesota. His all round attacking brilliance impressed the scouts last season while Jerryd Bayliss’ speed and reading of the game could see him off to Seattle.
