I have covered the pre-Draft period for three or four years now, and I can safely say there has never been as much hardship in predicting what will happen on draft day.  The fact that this is a weak draft, that the NBA has a deeper talent pool now than any time probably in 20 [...]

How amusing – we made this image in our first mock draft for 2009.
Mike Dunleavy will be glad he studied it.

Ok, so I’m gonna steal a semi-humorous joke I saw on the NBAdraft.net forum regarding the Clippers and their new stud. All they have to do [...]

So Patty Mills just decided to declare for the NBA draft, as Rob posted yesterday. Before I get into some deep analysis, a quick recap on the situation. Mills has declared for the draft without signing an agent. This means a few things:

Without an agent, he can take his name out of the draft before June [...]

Its tournament time for collegiate basketball and that means only one thing: it’s time for another Idiot’s Guide to the 2009 NBA Draft Man-Crush Edition, or as Ric Bucher would say IBGTT09NBADMCR. Last year’s Man-Crush blog saw me seduced by the point guard smarts of Super Mario Chalmers, the cuddliness of Derrick Rose and the [...]

Barack Obama, or should I say Barack O’Balla, has won millions of fans across America (and even all the way over here in Australia) on his historic road to the presidency, and probably a few extra fans on the hardwood thanks to his balling ways. Just today the US President was officially invited to the [...]

Howdy! I love Aussie Summers. For me it means barbecued Kanga meat and Carlton Dry with Lime (the Clear Cut 2008 BOTY Rob) around the pool as well as the Triple J’s Hottest 100 (my number 1 vote goes to Cemeteries of London by Coldplay) and the cricket on the tele. But most of all, [...]

Ahoy there Draftorians (sounds like something out of Star Trek really), and welcome back to the first Installment of the 2009 Idiots Guide to the 2009 NBA draft. Last year, I was completely rooted by the Sonics/ Thunder/ Train-Wrecks selection of Russell Westbrook at pick 4, but I did pick the first three picks, in [...]

Welcome to my last blog edition for the ‘Idiots Guide to the 2008 NBA Draft’ for 2008. I’ve been following NBA draft’s for going on four years now, and this is by far the most complex I’ve ever come across. Literally, every single first round pick in this draft has been mentioned in some trade [...]

Welcome ladies and gents to the lottery edition of the Idiots Blog Guide to the 2008 NBA draft. Whilst the Conference Finals are in full swing and the best team in the game is currently being scripted, the top 14 crappiest teams need something to look forward to. For the Warriors it’s trying to figure [...]

Our great, wide brown land has seen some success in recent times in the NBA world, mainly – well, in all fairness – solely due to Andrew Bogut and his number 1 overall selection in the 2005 draft, but as of recently, NBA scouts have had a carefully trained eyes on a few Aussies. Which [...]
