NBA draft

Okafor was a good pick, but 76ers still stink.

And an obvious pick. So glad that the Lakers didn't take him.

Obvious, until it wasn't. Okafor was the consensus number one or two pick until about a month before the draft, then you had all these general managers who suddenly thought Russell was better. I AM glad the Lakers outsmarted themselves and took Russell. I fear the Sixers would have probably taken Russell if they had been at number 2. They really wanted to get him.

You may be right. I don't really follow college bball until the ncaa tournament. I thought Okafor was supposed to be the consensus #1. Towns really looked good in the tourney, and it was no surprise he went #1 after all was said and done. Really didn't know too much about Russell as I didn't see him too much as Ohio State made a quick exit from the tourney. I thought some other Kentucky players may move up higher.
