Mohammed goes to the Mormans

[HMURDOCH@aol.com]

After being excited by the Celt's luck at getting Paul Pierce, the other thing
that kept me watching the draft, was seeing where Nazr Mohammed would go -
since Rick didn't pick him as one of his Kentucky players.  There was
speculation that if Pitino didn't pick him, that might cast a lot of doubt on
his worth causing him to slip a lot.  That seems to have been the case as he
ended up being the last player taken in the first round.
But while that may not have been good for his ego - I think it may be very
good luck for him to get to go from one of the best college teams to one of
the best pro teams.  And it's not a situation where he will be expected to
carry his team as a rookie.  And I think the Jazz have probably shown once
again that they can get good players low in the draft.  I'm happy for Nazr.
