Well, another NBA Draft has come and gone. There were a few surprises, and more than a few things went as projected. Here's a rundown
Rose and Beasley went 1/2, respectively
OJ Mayo was selected 3rd by Minnesota, who eventually traded him to Memphis for Kevin Love in an 8 player deal

Option 2: The Sonics select Derrick Rose, PG, Memphis
The Sonics have not had a competitive Point Guard since the Gary Payton trade of 02-03. With Rose, the Supes would add a PG who could drive the lane, dish assists, AND play defense (something they've been lacking from that position). The one problem I can see with this pick is the lack of 3-pt shooting. Durant is not a great outside shooter, although he has had moments when he uses good shot selection. Rose would only add to this problem, only shooting 34% from downtown in his only season in college.
