I disagree, I think theres a talent drop-off from Beasley to everyone else.
Then Rose is next (pretty much the consensus #2 pick), but I don't think theres all that much of a talent drop-off between Rose and say Gordon, Mayo or Bayless.
Maybe a drop-off in appeal, but the talent's definately there for 2 or 3 guys to be on Rose's tier (albeit lower on it).
Anyway, Mayo's been playing great lately and definately has the superstar mentality, so if he's available you should take him.
Westbrook's a really underrated guard too but I just don't think theres much special to him on the NBA level.
Can I ask a non-related question - if Brand is planning on opting out (or you don't plan on keeping him), could a Brand-Marion S&T be considered? Maggette is also expiring as your SF right?
