Not about the NBA, but just a great story about two high school teams in Wisconsin.

SI with scout quotes on 40 top college draft prospects

11

Anonymized, since executives and scouts are not allowed to publicly comment on prospects that are not seniors. I know a poster or two on BE who will love this quote:DeJuan Blair, 6-7 sophomore forward, Pittsburgh: "He'll be a great rebounder in the NBA. He can also really pass, which just punishes a defense. He's going to be able to finish plays other people set up. Guys are going to block his shot, but he's used to that. He's a stud, leave it at that."

Optimism from the Columbian

Greg Jayne, Columbian Sports Editor, thinks the Blazers could get to the conference finals. Now that's something to dream about...

Our large lead is starting to fade. Don't let those Cav fans catch us....IT'S THE FINALS!!!

Just a heads up that Tas Melas of The Basketball Jones will be Liveblogging the Blazer game tonight. Could be fun, I've never actually done or watched one before.

Ricky Rubio playing good in Copa Del Rey, negotiating a lower buyout?

3

After it initially looked very unlikely that he would come to the NBA before 2011 when his contract is up due to a very high 6 or 7 million Euro buyout, chances are that he could still come over earlier - and correspondingly enter the draft earlier - if they can agree on a lower amount (NBA teams can only pay 500k towards such a buyout). To keep their star happy, Joventut recently doubled his salary, but the big catch is the buyout. Maybe Rudy could pick up the phone for KP to find out exactly if 2009 or 2010 or even later is the draft year to focus on :) P.S.: Article includes kicks pic of his custom shoe. Ben would be proud.
