Hello there! Firstly, let me apologise for the time it took to compose the first edition of the Idiot’s Blog Guide to the 2010 Draft. It’s been a long year for me. I lost a bet with a mate when Emeka Okafor was traded (I said that wouldn’t happened) and was forced to visibly support [...]

As I do every year at this point when trying to make sense of draft day, I sent a few Q’s the way of our resident draft nut, Jobba. Listen to what the man says.
RD: OK first off, were you surprised Patty Mills went that low? We all thought first 5-6 picks of the second [...]

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 [...]

In breaking news, Australian prospect Patrick Mills has made it clear that he intends to hire an agent and keep his name in the NBA draft. This comes after speculation that Mills may have intended to “test the waters” before heading back to St Mary’s College for at least another year. Now, it appears this [...]

ONE: Firstly some news regarding our Aussie draft prospects. Joe Ingles recently worked out for the Bucks, while the Hawks are showing some interest in Patty Mills. Also appears Patty may be heading to the Reebok Eurocamp in Treviso, Italy, to try to improve his draft stock. These three links via JR On Fire.
TWO: BlazersEdge [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
