Will It Be Michael Beasley or Derrick Rose Selected #1 in June

  As the NBA Draft in June fast approaching, I wondered who will be this year's #1 pick. Freshman Derrick Rose has been nothing but sensational during the Tigers' tournament run, averaging 21.4 PPG and 5 RPG will he be it? Or it will it be spectacular freshman Michael Beasley from Kansas State who broke the NCAA record for most double-doubles by a freshman, and was among the top in the nation in scoring and rebounding. I believe it will be Michael Beasley because of history. Look at the last 11 drafts. As crazy as this maybe and sounds, its been over a decade (11 years) since a player shorter than 6'8 was drafted number one overall. A guard hasn't been drafted with the top pick since the 1196 NBA Draft when a 6'0 guard by the name of Allen Iverson was selected out of Georgetown. 2007 Greg Oden C 2006 Andrea Bargnani PF/C 2005 Andrew Bogut C 2004 Dwight Howard C 2003 Lebron James SF 2002 Yao Ming C 2001 Kwame Brown C 2000 Kenyon Martin PF/C 1999 Elton Brand C 1998 Michael ...
