Prep Ticket 2008 NBA Mock Draft

#1 – Chicago Bulls
Derrick Rose, G, Memphis
Simeon High School (Chicago, IL)

The Bulls have a tough choice to make, but it’s a good problem to have. There are two franchise-changing players at the top of this draft, but which one is right for Chicago? The question for the Bulls is this: do they want to start pushing Kirk Hinrich out the door and take Rose? Or do they add Beasley at forward, where he could play the 3 or the 4, where the Bulls already have Luol Deng and are developing Tyrus Thomas. Historically, it is safer to go with the guard over the big man, so we take Rose. At 6’3” and just under 200 pounds, Rose has an ideal body for an NBA point guard. Rose has a first step that is second to none, and he can score at will. Hinrich has been a solid guard, but Rose’s ceiling is much, much higher.

Vols set sights on Aztecs in first-round action

Tennessee has won both prior meetings with SDSU.
Providence, RI (Sports Network) - In search of their first-ever NCAA Tournament win, the 11th-seeded San Diego State Aztecs take aim at the sixth-seeded Tennessee Volunteers in the first round at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. The survivor of this Midwest Regional pairing will tangle with either Georgetown or Ohio University in the second round on Saturday.

The Aztecs have won nine of their last 10 games and included in that run is a victory over UNLV in the Mountain West Tournament title game on Saturday. It marked the third MWC Championship for SDSU, which is making its sixth NCAA Tournament appearance and first since 2006. The Aztecs however, have yet to advance past the first round, although they came close in an 87-83 loss to Indiana in their last appearance.

On the flip side, the Vols received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after they were thrashed by Kentucky, 74-45, in the semifinals of the SEC Championship on Saturday. That loss obviously hurt the team's seeding, as Tennessee is sixth despite 25 wins, including triumphs over Kansas and Kentucky, two No.1 seeds in this event. The Vols are making their 18th NCAA Tournament appearance and fifth straight. Tennessee is 13-18 all-time in the event, including a 9-7 mark in the first round. ... Continue
