    Hey Chris Broussard,

    Learn how to speak normally. You don't have to add five seconds of emphasis to everything you say. "Braaaaadley Beeeeeal is a hiiiiiiiigh character guy." Thought the Draft would be watchable without Stuart Scott on it, guess not. Thanks.

    Just don't know any of 'em.

    Evan Fournier? OK, whatever.

    Glad Jared Cunningham was picked in the first. Sad to seem him leave OSU - but the guy is a gamer.

    Reminds of something Calipari said after the championship game.

    It was something to the effect of: "Our goal is to go undefeated every year. Our fans expect us to anyway."

    So the Mavs just traded the rights to Tyler Zeller for the rights to three of the guys the Cavaliers drafted so far.

    Four Tar Heels taken in the first round, too.

    JESUS THE CAVS HAVE A TAR HOLE?

    No wonder I hate the NBA.

    One of the "highlights" they showed on ESPN of Lilliard was of him driving to the hole...and getting called for traveling. Not sure who to be more embarrassed for at this point.

    And, just to piss off Devil, I feel the need to point this out. These were last year's lottery projected players that chose to come back for a second year of college basketball:

    Jared Sullinger: fell from a Top 5 pick last year to the 21st pick this year.

    Perry Jones III: fell from a Top 10 pick last year to the 28th pick this year.

    Harrison Barnes: fell from the projected 2d pick last year to 7th this year.

    Terrence Jones: fell from Top 15 last year to the 18th pick this year.

    These players just lost untold millions by staying. So how again did that extra year of college basketball help their pro careers? I forget how that goes.

    If they're any good, they'll make it back eventually. Players like Greg Oden should be giving money back to the teams that drafted them.

    for the second time the Warriors take a Michigan State kid who grew up in Saginaw. J-Rich worked out pretty well for them. Hopefully Day-Day will as well.

    Also someone in the Celtics organization must be a B1G fan. The two Boilermakers last year and now Sullenger this year.
