June 25, 2008

During last college season, many of the pundits kept saying the Pac-10 conference had the best talent in the country.  The NCAA Selection Committee didn’t seem to agree, but it looks like the NBA people do.  There’s a good chance that 5 of the top 10 picks will come from the Pac-10.  I don’t think [...]

Local Picks and Flips

May 30, 2008

Last Friday,  Jaime wrote a blog, ”Beasley or Rose?“, about what Chicago should do with their #1 pick in this year’s NBA Draft.
