    OMG thank you, the old school ESPN way that expects that you're an idiot doesn't fulfill me. Vertical does. Seriously, thx.

    76ers grab another international stash. Players just keep dropping for Spurs / Warriors.

    The Sixers made two great picks in the late 20s. So lucky.
    Now watch Spurs get Davis and turn him into a superstar.

    Doesn't seem fair that the Spurs have lottery talent on the table. Invariably they pick the one who pans out.

    Watch them take Demetrius Jackson and suddenly he will revert to his 40%+ from 3 (from his Freshman and Sophmore seasons).
    Perfect cover for Parker's fade.

    Co-sign. Could be a quality depth front court player in year 1 and - gasp - starter down the road.

    I predict the Rockets will take Stephen Zimmerman.

    The Celtics already drafted players to stash from the first round. That means that their second rounders will for sure be available for cash. Maybe not the better ones but the others. They have 5 more picks.
