And with the first pick ...
... Well, I'm not even willing to commit to Andrew Bogut on that one. With all the crossed signals and subterfuge coming from the NBA teams themselves, it's not even clear if Milwaukee knows what it's going to do with that No. 1 pick less than 3 hours to NBA Draft time. It's all pretty much wait and see.
One interesting development is Utah traded its 6th and 27th picks to Portland for No. 3. Hmm, wonder how Chris Paul is going to like Salt Lake City. He appears to be the Jazz's target.
One other observation as I settle into my seat on the floor at the NBA Draft: The "green room" has not a hint of green. Red carpet, black tablecloths and mostly blue background. They have tables for May, McCants, Felton and Marvin Williams huddled next to each other. Together one more night.
One celebrity sighting on my way from lunch to the 1 train in the Theatre District, OK, minor-celeb sighting: Chris McDonald, who you might remember as golfer Shooter McGavin from "Happy Gilmore." Say this for the 50-year-old actor, who blew past us in a hurry to get somewhere: he is prolific. according to IMDB.com, one of the greatest web sites known to man, he has 86 TV and film credits since 1978.
And one celebrity-in-his-own-mind sighting: Stuart Scott is part of ESPN's draft production.
