Kedrick Brown?

[Alexander Wang <awang@MIT.EDU>]

Andy Katz has updated his mock draft at 
http://espn.go.com/nba/draft2001/s/2001/0620/1216570.html

He says that the consensus top 10 hasn't changed and has Gasol dropping to us
at 10. For pick 11, he has us selecting Kedrick Brown, a junior college player
that we haven't been hearing anything about. Katz writes:

"The word on Brown is that a promise was made to get him into the top 20. The
consensus was originally with the Blazers but now that has switched to the
Celtics. It makes sense because the Celtics needs athletic forwards and the
LSU
signee fits the criteria. Brown blew off Chicago because he didn't need to
attend. He was assured he would be taken care of in the draft."

It seems quite speculative. 

What's really interesting is how many "top 10 locks" there supposedly are out
there. Besides the supposed consensus top 10 (Griffin, Curry, Battier, Kwame
Brown, Chandler, Diop, White, Johnson, Gasol, Richardson), there's Woods,
Murphy, Bradley, Hunter, and more.
