    i forget, exactly how does the draw work? i know there are 1001 numbers and 1 is a dummy number that no team has but how do they get the numbers? there aren't just 1001 ping pong balls are there? do they just have 10 balls and they draw one, put it back and keep drawing until they get the 3 digit number (or 4 for 1000 and 1001)?


    i thought i remembered us being one number from not getting the pick so somehow they get the numbers separately.

    oh, and go orlando i guess.

    i like how the parade out all these NBA stiffs (i.e. "Directory of Security") and accountants and try to pass off that somehow, the actually lottery ball drawing is legit.

    Something will severly stink if Utah gets the pick.

    seriously, i know he works for the jazz, but could o'connor looks any more pissed off about having to be there? everyone else has managed to at least crack a smile.

    If Bucks can hold onto Redd and Gadzuric and get TJ Ford healthy, they will have a nice little team:

    SF - Mason
    PF - Bogut
    C - Gadzuric
    SG - Redd
    PG - Ford

    Good. NowI only wish a east team got the 3rd pick instead of Por, but not too bad at all. :D

    Yup. Bogut is the next Zeljko Rebraca. If he's drafted over Marvin Williams or Chris Paul... wow.

    Hopefully, you are just making the comparision because they are both white and went to Utah.

    Their games are completely different and if Bogut can get through the rookie big man foul problems that he is sure to experience, he will be a solid post player.

    Well, I have seen Bogut play a alot, actually he doesnt impress me that much. Well I might be called idiot later, but I just dont see him making out in the NBA

    Bogut reminds me a lot of Rony Seiklay (who was pretty decent for awhile... and we almost traded Hakeem for him when the dream was having contract/injury disputes... thank GOD that didn't happen).

    Seiklay had good court vision, a solid jump shot... and was actually a better defender than Bogut will be. Of course, he never was anything that special... and likely that's where Bogut will end up as well.
