Draft Tonight!


Tonight is the night! The 2009 NBA Draft. All we're hearing is that it is a weak draft, maybe as bad as the class of 2000. I doubt that, 2000 was awful. (Stromile Swift, Darius Miles, Marcus Fizer, DerMarr Johnson, Chris Mihm, Keyon Dooling, Jerome Moiso, and Etan Thomas were all LOTTERY PICKS). So I dare the '09 draft to be worse. The 2000 draft had 2 players picked in the 1st round make the All-Star team... those players Keyon Martin and Jamaal Magliore. Come on. Best players from the draft are Hedo Turkoglu and 2nd rounder Michael Redd.

But the draft is not just about the college and foreign players. It's all about the trades. Teams right now are deciding if they're going to make a run at the title. On the flip side teams like the Suns are proving they messed up with previous deals and are bailing out of anything resembling competitive basketball.

We've already seen: Shaq to the Cavs; Richard Jefferson to the Spurs; Jamal Crawford to the Hawks; Mike Miller, Randy Foye to the Wizards... much more to come.

Here are a couple of my favorite suits from the NBA Draft. Just hard to beat (below).
