The NBA Draft Combine hit Chicago this week. Everyone who’s likely going to get picked in the NBA Draft comes to the Second City for workouts with NBA scouts and interviews with the media.
Here’s the list of all the former college basketball players who were invited to the NBA Draft combine. And here’s our latest 2013 NBA Mock Draft.
The NBA Draft combine is pretty much a beauty pageant for boys.
The 2013 NBA Draft is scheduled to be held on June 27, 2013 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
2013 NBA Draft Combine Participants

The NBA Draft Combine hits Chicago next week. It’s the most…..wonderful…..time……of the year!!!!!!! Ok, not really. But it’s still a pretty cool event. Most likely everyone who’s going to get picked in the NBA Draft comes to the Second City for workouts with NBA scouts and interviews with the media.
The invite list did not include the Gophers’ Rodney Williams (that’s fine, he really shouldn’t be picked anyway), Florida State’s Michael Snaer (surprising, I mean someone in the NBA has to play defense at some point), Alex Oriakhi (take it or leave it), Marquette’s Vander Blue (we’re very surprised) and Elias Harris of Gonzaga.
Like the late Nate Dogg said: “I don’t want to dream about getting paid,” and pretty soon these gentlemen won’t have to.

UPDATED 2013-2014 preseason top 25 college basketball rankings
April 29, 2013 by Leave a Comment
With the Louisville Cardinals cutting down the nets, the book was officially closed on the 2012-2013 college basketball season. Hoop junkies like myself are already looking ahead to next season so allow me to present to you my updated way too early 2012-2013 preseason Top 25 college basketball rankings.
So here is my preliminary preseason Top 25 college basketball rankings for next season. I have updated these rankings since the NBA Draft early entries list is complete and a number of transfers have since been announced. There is still one major x-factor out there, the undecided Andrew Wiggins who is the #1 prospect in the 2013 class. Leave a comment below if you think a team is too high, too low, not getting enough respect, or if you notice an error in a projected roster.

Marquette’s Vander Blue declares for NBA Draft; smart or dumb decision?
April 16, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Coming off a breakout junior campaign for the Marquette Golden Eagles, shooting guard Vander Blue has decided to leave school a year early and enter the 2013 NBA Draft. Blue is by no means a lock to be a first round pick which makes the decision somewhat surprising. Allow me to break down why the decision both makes sense but could be one that Blue will regret.
