Draft Thoughts

My favorite sight at every NBA draft is the photo op of a seven footer and diminutive commissioner David Stern. It's too bad Manute Bol was only a fifth round pick, although we at least had the good fortune to see him be teammates with Muggsy Bogues on the Washington Bullets, which should be O's Fan's favorite team.
Someone should explain something to the people at ESPN who wrote and approved the draft factoids that scrolled across the screen over and over and over last night. When Adam Morrison of Gonzaga became the number three pick last night, he wasn't the highest pick from that school since John Stockton went to O's Fan's favorite team with the 16th pick in 1984. Morrison was just plain the highest draft pick in school history.

It was good to see the other day that New York Knicks owner James Dolan publicly gave Isiah Thomas an ultimatum of one year to make significant improvements in the team that Zeke ruined. If last night is any indication, the smiling assasin either doesn't take Dolan seriously or just doesn't know what the heck he's doing. After all, when the best props you get for a first round draft pick is Spike Lee calling it a sleeper pick while holding back the laughter, it's not too soon to be updating that resume. Then again, Thomas might want to consider totally omitting his Knicks' tenure from his CV.
