Herb Williams, 1981 14th pick, who went on to an 18 year career playing in the NBA, and is now coaching with the Knicks. Also, Steve Stipanovich, the 2nd pick in the 1983 draft, whose career was cut short by a knee injury; and Vern Fleming, the 18th pick in the 1984 draft, who played 12 years in the NBA. All three were solid players, but more importantly, really good people, though Stipo marched to his own drummer.

Yes, I love me some hyperbole (no, Conor, not the mathematical kind). George, your team is good, and your team name (which measures 84% of your team's success, 50% of the time) is even better. Granted, I'm biased based on a kinship to the breed. I would trade my team - The Tatum Bellhops - for yours, straight up. Did an NBA GM ever propose that to you? As a sidenote, my favorite Damon Bailey story is the one where he changed his name to Luke Recker and got more eligibility. I just hope you got the right Steve Smith. Don't panic. But I'd Google it before your next poker round, just to be safe... Greatest post ever. Yes, I love me some hyperbole (no, Conor, not the mathematical kind).
