Shaking The Lottery Tree

[Way Of The Ray <wayray@ix.netcom.com>]

Based on my best evaluation of the talent available for next year's
draft and where they are ranked by the NBA cognoscenti at the
moment, the draft, it was held today, would shake out something
like this:

1.  Eddie Griffin

2.  Yao Ming

3.  Jason Williams

4.  Brendan Haywood

5.  DeSagana Diop

6.  Troy Murphy

7.  Shane Battier

8.  Loren Woods

9.  Tyson Chandler

10. Eddy Curry

11. Michael Bradley

12. Gerald Wallace

13. Jamaal Tinsley


Possible replacements: Zach Randolph, Kenny Satterfield,
Dajuan Wagner, Kwame Brown, Dan Gadzuric, Joe Johnson,
Terrence Morris, Jeryl Sasser....

Looks like a " keep your picks and try to acquire a few
more of them" draft.
