I’ll be blogging the NBA Draft, which starts in less than an hour. Be sure to stop by and let me know what you think of the night’s events.
As a Bucks fan, the biggest storyline of the night (now that the team has acquired Richard Jefferson) is can Milwaukee come out of this draft with Kevin Love? I’d love (sorry for the pun) to see a lineup of Mo Williams, Michael Redd, Jefferson, Love and Andrew Bogut. If Scott Skiles can get them to play a little bit of defense, they’ll be playoff-bound in the East. It looks like they will have to move up to get Love, and it might cost them Charlie Villanueva, but I don’t think he’s going to fit with Skiles, so he’s expendable. David Lee is also (reportedly) available. He’d be a great fit with that lineup as well, though the Bucks would have to be sure he’d be willing to re-sign once his deal ends. If the team ends up drafting Anthony Randolph, I think I’m going to have a heart attack out of frustration.
Shifting loyalties, I’m guessing that Cavs fans are sweating a little bit more now that the Nets look like they have enough cap flexibility to snatch LeBron away in the summer of 2010.
Anyway, check back after the draft starts to see my reaction to the Bulls’ pick. In the meantime, you can peruse my way-too-long draft preview from earlier in the week.
