I'm PUMPED about today. The draft always makes my summer. I haven't posted about it as much as in years past, but I've been reading/researching on it just as much as usual.
I don't have any particular favorite teams or players in this years' draft that I'm really "rooting for" either, yano. So it'll just be a fun night of kicking back and watching it play out, then speculating this coming week on what it all means.
Like Run said to me yesterday, it's like Christmas in July.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Voodoo, I'm not very familiar with College ball, did you play against any players (whether their team or actually defending the individual) that made it to the nba?
Also how tall are you?</div>
Yeah, I played with and against Thaddeus Young, who plays for the Philadelphia 76'ers. Most of the guys I played against who were any good just topped out at college ball (DI through DIII) though. But look out for J.P. Prince and Tyler Smith.
I was about 6'4" all throughout HS (was really tall early and then didn't grow much), although oddly enough I grew about two or three inches this year, even though I'm in my early twenties now, so I'm about 6'6", legitimately. I don't like it though, because basketball's not going to be my career or even a serious commitment anymore, so it just makes me stand out in a crowd.
