The NBA is the coolest thing. It’s like watching “The Sixth Sense.” You have no idea when you begin watching the drama unfold how it’s going to end. And some of the players are dead, but they just don’t know it. Anyway, the NBA draft went off Thursday with the usual fear and uncertainty. I love my guy. I think he’s my guy. I’m not sure if he’s my guy. He’s your guy. Here is the cool number: 23 percent of the players who were drafted were then shipped out. There were 14 of 60 draft picks switching hats.
Here’s the list:
No. 3 O.J. Mayo to Memphis
No. 5 Kevin Love to Minnesota
No. 11 Jerryd Bayless to Portland
No. 13 Brandon Rush to Indiana
No. 17 Roy Hibbert to Indiana
