I needed a thread to put this in. So I'm up in Alaska for the summer and my friend who is in Spokane right now called me up drunk "I just high fived the crazy fake mexican!" and of course I was immediately like "You're kidding me? You just high fived Adam Morrison?" Apparently Derek Raivio and Adam Morrison were in some club in Spokane, and Morrison was dancing an intensely hot, small blonde girl while drinking Miller Lite (if I was going to be a multi-millionaire coming wednesday, I would be drinking something better than Miller Lite) and so naturally my drunk friend decided Hey! Let's go high five Adam Morrison. Damn him, he should have at least gotten a cell phone picture with him. I'm envious right now, I wish I was drunk at the same club as Adam Morrison, although I'd probably go ask him a question like "what's it feel like when Rudy Gay dunks on you?" or "What's it feel like to cry on national television?" or maybe make a statement like "Man, UCLA worked you guys at the end of that game in tourney. What was up with that!" That would have been a good time.

Btw, I'm in for this lotto thing.

[StandMyBrothers]

sweet I'd love a new bball shirt.

I probably would have asked him "how much are you going to get on your first contract? you know, before it's discovered that you're insanely overrated and will be a big bust in terms of where you're drafted and would be lucky to get a 2nd contract 1/3rd of the size of your initial one."

[LeftWideOpen]

i'm in.

is it just the order that the players go in though? because predicting possible deals that would require picks being exchanged would be close to impossible.

[Scott Weber]

this is an easy contest to offer because it's impossible for anybody to win because of draft day trades. it's not even worth my time.

[Caleb Cattivera]

i'm in.

just the order in which the players are picked is fine. i dont expect you to know who's getting traded to where and such, that'd be crazy. if you can just get the players in the order they go, you winl.

Now all I need is a De Lorean DMC-12 and a Sports Almanac

yeah and some teams will still pick for other teams who they decided to make a deal with pre-draft...hence impossible.

[Caleb Cattivera]

ive seen contests like this before on espn, yahoo, etc. people have gotten them right, it's not impossible...plus, it's just for fun. so you should do it anyways.

[fluke182]

If people got this years Final Four right, I can get the lottery right dammit.

[StandMyBrothers]

the number was in like the 6-12 range of People that nationally got it right...lucky bitches!

[Broken Parachute]

You should do it for points. Like every one a person gets right, they get a point. Most points wins or something.

[preppyak]

what are these "goodies"?
my question as well...

I'm down

[preppyak]

sweet...

haha, I was definitely not one of them

[xbrokendownx]

so what are like the rules for this? is there a set up? should we start posting our preditions?

[Broken Parachute]

Also, is there a list of players in the draft? It'd be insanely hard to remember every single entrant in the draft by memory.

it's just the lottery that we are picking i believe (1-14), and this site has the entire draft mocked w/ scouting reports if you click on the name, so this should be more than enough.

I know I'll probably update it as I go along. I just took your list and switched some players in different spots. I'm gonna read up on the scouting reports later and see if there's some other players that should be in.
