It's Like Winning The Lottery Right After Someone Hit The Powerball

                 

This will be a weird NBA draft.

It will be the kind of draft that won't produce many stars....but could produce a high volume of guys who last in the league.  Call it the "role player draft". 

Also, call it a toss up.  There is absolutely no clear cut #1 pick.  In fact, many felt that the top pick would've been different depending on who won the lottery.  Ah, yes....the lottery.  As the title says, this is like winning the first powerball after somebody cleaned up the huge prize.  There are no LeBrons, Shaqs or Greg Odens.  Call it the 2001 Draft Redux.

Toronto was the winner of this lottery....and they have a nice array of people to pick from.  But who knows who that will be???

Go to NBADraft.net and they think it will be DeMarcus Aldridge. 
Go to ESPN.com....and they think it will be Andrea Bargnani. 
So does ProBasketball.com. 
InsideHoops.com - NBA Mock Draft has Tyrus Thomas as the top pick. 
So does
CollegeHoops.net - NBA Mock Draft.

NBADraft.net has JJ Redick going 16th....and Rajon Rondo going 26th.
ESPN has Redick going 8th.....and Rondo going 6th.

ESPN has Miami's Guillermo Diaz going 19th.
NBADraft.net has Diaz going 45th.

Yeah, that's the 2006 NBA Draft.  Get your mock drafts ready.

Getting the #1 overall in the first year that you can't grab a high school phenom is like LOSING the 1990-2006 Draft Lottery.
