Yup, that is the downside - all high school seniors and college frosh. But, some big time talent. The guy from Mich St has a big body that is perfectly suited to the NBA. We are projected to take some guy named Kwame who is supposed to be great. I am not even going to watch the draft, because the fun of the draft used to be watching where guys you had seen play for 3 or 4 years were picked. Now, it is just a bunch of guys who I have never heard of.

I just saw that ESPN is doing a feature on the problem children of the 1986 draft, which featured Chris Washburn, Dennis Rodman, Roy Tarpley, and Len Bias. It's funny to think that Rodman is the cleanest living guy in that bunch.

The second round had almost as many good players as the first: Mark Price, Rodman, Johnny Newman, Nate McMillan, Hornacek.
