Sacramento goes with Kansas' Thomas Robinson at No. 5

Robinson, considered the No. 1 PF in the draft, is finally gone. But this means the Pistons will have a chance at several players who were considered top eight picks in most mock drafts. North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes is still out there. He’s one of the top small forwards.

Wizards select Beal at No. 3

Bradley Beal, from Florida, is the guy. He led all SEC guards in rebounding. Nice pick. He’ll be paired with John Wall. The guy is only 19 years old. Nice size (6-5) and strength. For more on Beal, click here. The guy has a 6-8 wingspan.
