Hoops: Draft Ticker

Well, as a draft night service for those who cannot watch on tv, here's a ticker of the draft

#1..... Milwaukee.... Andrew Bogut
#2..... Atlanta....... Marvin Williams (Hawks add their 18th forward)
#3..... Utah.......... Deron Williams (believe me Chris Paul is happy)
#4..... N.Orleans.. Chris Paul (he's got that voodoo)
#5..... Charlotte.... Raymond Felton (no Charlotte for Jack at # 13)
#6..... Portland..... Martell Webster (3rd year in a row Portland has taken a h.s. player)
#7..... Toronto...... Charlie Villanueva (Jack still in play at PG - surprise pick. Does he fit with Bosh?)
#8..... New York..... Channing Frye
#9..... Golden State. Ike Diogu
#10.... LA Lakers.... Andrew Bynum (wow!!! Who'd a thunk it? Sorry J.Calhoun; youngest player drafted in history - 17 years 8 months)
#11.... Orlando...... Fran Vasquez (Spain - Ole!!)
#12.... LA Clippers.. Yaroslav Korolev (why do the ESPN guys know every pick?)
#13.... Charlotte.... Sean May (a UNC duo - back together with Felton. The hometown kids stay home)
#14.... Minnesota.... Rashad McCants (well all 4 UNC guys are gone now - wow)
#15.... N.Jersey..... Antoine Wright (thanks for asking him about his brother in prison. Way to focus on the kid's moment)
#16.... Toronto...... Joey Graham (anyone think they were going to say JJJaarreett?)


Jarrett gets his first mention as one of top 5 players left on the board........


#17.... Indiana...... Danny Granger
#18.... Boston....... Gerald Green (finally)
#19.... Memphis...... Hakim Warrik


I just learned that Jarrett Jack is actually in New York at Madison SG in the crowd. I wonder how he's feeling.


#20.... Denver....... Julius Hodge (wow - talk about humble. very gracious)
#21.... Phoenix...... Nate Robinson (uh oh - so Jack has dropped below this guy???)


So Jarrett Jack is outdrafted by a kid who's 5'7". Isn't that just dandy. However, it appears that this pick will be part of the deal that sends Quinton Richardson to the Knicks for Kurt Thomas and the rights to Nate Robinson......... Strongest odds now are that he is picked by Houston or Seattle. I don't see Jack falling past #25.


#22.... Denver....... Jarrett Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Wow, I had Denver as a 0% chance to pick him. Shows what I know. Now he'll be teammates with Julius Hodge. Congratulations to Jack!!!! It was fantastic to watch him go on-stage and shake hands with David Stern........


#23.... Sacramento... Francisco Garcia
#24.... Houston...... Luther Head
#25.... Seattle...... Johan Petro


Well, unfortunately I might have to say good-bye for the night. I'll update in the morning. Rumor of Jarrett Jack getting traded to Portland a couple of their picks......


#26.... Detroit...... Jason Maxiell (who?)
#27.... Portland..... Linas Kleiza
#28.... San Antonio.. Ian Mahinmi (France)
#29.... Miami........ Wayne Simien
#30.... New York..... David Lee
