Who should the Sonics take in todays draft?



I'll be heading off to a camping trip for the weekend so unfortunately I'll be listening to the first part of the draft on the radio. There have been rumors that the Sonics could possibly move up to the second pick in the first round by trading Chris Wilcox and the 4th to Miami and then select Michael Beasley. Beasley is going to be a great player in the league and he is a close friend with Kevin Durant so I think it would be a good move. But we could also stand at #4 and fulfill our greatest need at center by taking Brook Lopez. I've even heard rumors of Kevin Love but the only problem with him is that he not a true center at 6'10. Even though I'm a fan of Earl Watson, the sonics also need an all-around PG in which they would select Arizona guard Jared Bayless. If OJ Mayo is available by some miracle we could take him so Sonics GM Sam Presti has plenty of options today. With a core of Durant, Green, and whoever they take today, this could be the nucleus that drives the Sonics for the next decade.
