NBA Draft Note

My NBA Mock Draft will be posted sometime tomorrow morning but before I do that, I would like to post the following comment from Bill Simmons 2006 NBA Draft Diary from ESPN.com: 9:40 -- Just when this draft couldn't get any crazier, my beloved Celtics just bought the 21st pick from Phoenix to take Rajon Rondo, the Kentucky guard who Chad Ford touted all summer because he mistakenly thought Rondo was foreign. Unfortunately, Rondo can't shoot. This is an understatement. As Bilas says, "Teams in the SEC didn't even guard him." Put it this way: The list of NBA teams that won an NBA title with a point guard who couldn't shoot looks like this: 1. (empty) 2. (empty) 3. (empty) On the other hand, my Celtics moles told me that Rondo absolutely DESTROYED Foye and Williams in their workout a few weeks ago. So who knows? God, I'm a sap ... I'm not trying to shoot down the Sports Guy, my point is that even those of us who actually watch college basketball and the NBA and who are even remotely in-tune with the possible needs of an NBA franchise really have no idea what is going to happen to the players drafted tomorrow night. Please keep that in mind when my mock rolls out tomorrow.
