tidbits

["Berry, Mark S" <berrym@BATTELLE.ORG>]

ESPN's draft site is up, and they have a few Celtic-related tidbits, which I
have highlighted in bold in the text:

5. Fresno's day in Atlanta: Fresno State senior guard Courtney Alexander and
Fresno Washington High guard DeShawn Stevenson weren't fans of each other
during pickup games in Fresno. But they are tentatively scheduled to go
against each other in a workout in Atlanta on Friday. 
Alexander could go as high as No. 3 to the Clippers but is a more likely
pick for either Atlanta at No. 6, Chicago at No. 7 or Cleveland at No. 8.
Stevenson has worked out for Sacramento, Boston, Phoenix, Chicago, Indiana,
the Clippers and Seattle. The Lakers, Utah and New York watched him work out
in Los Angeles. 
Stevenson is expected to work out for Orlando on Tuesday. Seattle and Boston
are clamoring for a second look. Stevenson could go anywhere from Orlando's
No. 10 pick to the top of the second round. 

8. Tough talk from Tsakalidis camp: Iakovos Tsakalidis doesn't say much but
the people around the 7-2 Greek center are touting him as the best player in
the draft. They think he would dismantle Mihm and Minnesota's Joel Przybilla
if given the chance. Tsakalidis is trying to get out of the final year of
his contract. He could go anywhere from No. 4 to 17, with Chicago, Orlando,
Cleveland, Boston, Dallas, Detroit, Milwaukee and Seattle all in search of
size.
