Re: Chris Monter: Celtics Most Likely Drafting Rashard Lewis

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

Chris Monter doesn't know anything.  The late Don Leventhal told me
that Monter was a fan who called him up on the phone and asked him
about scouting, and then turned around and started his own "draft
report" based on second hand sources.  The MSNBC draft is more
interesting, and the Usenet draft is the only one with any kind of
scouting to speak of.  I wonder if Kevin Willis' trade will shake some
moves lose, now that teams don't have a chance to grab Toronto's picks.
