NEW YORK -- The story of the draft so far is the lack of an exciting storyline.

No trades, no surprise picks -- yet.

After Beasley went No. 2, he was followed by O.J. Mayo (Minnesota), Russell Westbrook (Seattle), Kevin Love (Memphis), Danilo Gallinari (New York), Eric Gordon (LA), Joe Alexander (Milwaukee) and D.J. Augustin (Charlotte).

Maybe the biggest surprise was Augustin, where the Bobcats could have taken a big man.

Good news for the Sixers, Love is really the only big guy off the board so far.
