WHO'S NO. 1?
Three months ago, Kansas State freshman forward Michael Beasley seemed certain to become the No. 1 overall pick in this summer's NBA draft. Then the NCAA tournament came and went and now it looks like a pick 'em between Beasley and Memphis freshman guard Derrick Rose. Here's a look at the draft order, odds and a guess at who each team will pick if they win the first pick:
Team Chance of winning Their pick?
Miami 25.0 % Rose
Seattle 19.9 % Rose
Timberwolves 13.8 % Rose
Memphis 13.7% Rose
New York 7.6 % Rose
L.A. Clippers 7.5 % Rose
Milwaukee 4.3 % Rose
Charlotte 2.8 % Rose
Chicago 1.7 % Beasley
New Jersey 1.1 % Beasley
Indiana 0.8 % Rose
Sacramento 0.7 % Beasley
