February 19, 2013 By 1 Comment
It is an annual tradition here during the NBA All-Star break to re-do the NBA Draft lottery from the previous year. The Sports Bank’s NBA Draft Nerd, David Kay and Peter Christian will alternate re-drafting the first round of the 2012 NBA Draft taking into account what they know about the rookies based off their performances so far this season. They will factor in how each team’s roster looked at the time of the draft and give their reasons as to why the selection would be made.

A mock draft is exactly like a sports nerd crossword puzzle- you have to work hard to make things fit logically. And our friends at Weakside Awareness have done a study showing who can complete the puzzle most effectively.
From WA:
NBA Draft 2012 is in the books so it’s time for a lot of grading… no, I don’t mean judging teams or drafted players because it’s too early but there’s one draft-related topic which doesn’t require waiting few years:

One thing I always disliked about draft grades- for both sports, is that they’re very inaccurate. You can’t actually grade/judge them until a few years have passed.
Now grading a mock draft? You can do that as soon as the draft ends. And one website, Weakside Awareness, has done just that with their “Watching the Watchers” post. Of course, they didn’t rank every single mock on the web, just the most prominent ones.
And here are the results. Notice who’s #1!!!!!! REPRESENT!
Follow paulmbanksCan Kansas’ Tyshawn Taylor be a true NBA point guard?
June 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Tyshawn Taylor helped lead the Kansas Jayhawks to the NCAA National Championship Game this past season. Though KU lost to Kentucky and fell short of cutting down the nets, a terrific senior season helped propel Taylor to possibly being a first round pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. One of the biggest questions regarding the Jayhawk floor general is just that; can he be a true point guard at the NBA level?
