I'd disagree with a lot of these, but it's hard to predict the entire round. I think Augustin and Westbrook will go earlier, while Randolph and Arthur will go later.

I see it going

1. Derrick Rose
2. OJ Mayo
3. Michael Beasley
4. Jerryd Bayless
5. Robin Lopez/Eric Gordon

I think the T'Wolves will trade Beasley to Memphis for their pick, and other players from both teams will also be involved.

Then again I could be totally wrong. The draft is always a crapshoot.

Your predictions are believable. For myself, I would take Gordon no lower than 2nd. The 6-8 forward Beasley should be a sound pick but is he better than Arthur?
