Living and Breathing

I'm not going to create a laundry list of excuses for being absent in recent months.  I haven't been playing my part.  I will be disciplined accordingly.

The Miami Heat needless to say, Got Hot, at the right time this post season.  After defeating the Celtics it was apparent they could not be stopped on the way to the title. The Heat earned it.

No more Lebron Jokes.

Let us catchup shall we?

Brief Draft Notes

• The Charlotte Hornets won the First Pick, surfacing the on-going question of; Is the NBA Fixed to David Sterns Liking?

1.  The Hornets selected Anthony Davis
1. Member of the National Champion Kentucky Wildcats
2. Dominant Defensive Center immediately
3. Tim Duncan comparisons
4. Very limited offensive game
5. Former Point Guard with a record growth spurt
6. Time will Tell
2. The Golden State Warriors blatantly tanked at the end of the season in hopes of landing the Number One Pick.  Failing, Harrison Barnes was their selection at 7th overall
1. University of North Carolina
2. Small Forward
3. Iowa Native (Minnesota Recruit FAIL)
4. Undersized
5. Needs to develop better ability to create his own shot 
3. Phoenix Suns Select Kendal Marshal, 13th overall
1. University of North Carolina
2. Point Guard
3. Is the broken hand took him out of Sweet 16 an issue?
4. Great Passer
5. Shooting must improve
4.  Houston Rockets select Minnesota Native Royce White 16th overall
1. Iowa State (Laptop Thief, kicked out of Minnesota)
2. Led Cyclones in Pts, Rebs, and Assists.  
3. Fear of Flying and Anxiety Disorders
4. Must prove he can move and score off the ball
5. Boston Celtics Select Jarrod Sullinger and Fab Melo consecutively at 21 and 22
1. Jarrod Sullinger - Ohio State 
2. Fab Melo - Syracuse
3. Jarrod reminds me of Derick Williams in his awkward size at their position
4. Fab has no offensive Go-To scoring move, very raw talent
5. Fab good shot blocker, aggressive rebounding skills
6. Sullinger stayed a year too long, causing stock to drop and injury potential to surface
7. Fab Melo, Brazilian, lacks "Basketball IQ" - Lack of a better term, there is no actual 'Basketball IQ' Test.  I hate the term
6.  Minnesota Timberwolves select Robbie Hummel with their first pick coming in the Second Round at 58th overall
1. Five year player at Purdue University
2. Associated Press All American Honorable Mention
3. Tore ACL prior to 2010 - 2011 Season
4. Stretch 3 Guard
5. Respectable shooter with range along with solid defensive fundamentals
6. Can he stay healthy?
7. Seemingly a nothing to lose pick with the Wolves being very active in off-season market

Overall an Lame Duct draft.  Free Agency will provide more excitement, on a much more entertaining level.
