I respect that Jay Bilas isn't one of those "Be true to your school" zealots. So I wasn't surprised Monday when he said he'd pick Louisville's Terrence Williams over Duke's Gerald Henderson.

... first round. Minnesota drafted Rashad McCants in 2005 and last season shipped him to Sacramento. Jay Bilas remarked during the draft that Ellington will probably end up being a better pro than Gerald Henderson who went 12th to Charlotte. Minnesota will be extremely young but hopefully Ellington can find his niche there and be a solid contributor. Danny Freaking Green, regardless of anything...

... be hearing about a trade. 7:44 - I’d like to point out at this moment that Tyreke Evans is 3 rd on Jay Bilas’s prospect list, and Ricky Rubio is 5 th . Ugh. The man gets paid to do this. 7:46 - Thabeet is going to Memphis. They should’ve traded that pick, but oh well. Now things get crazy. OKC has been playing this one close to the vest, no one knows what’s coming here. 7:49 - I don’t know...

NBA Draft `09 Having watched the draft on ESPN, which I have to tell you with the exception of Jay Bilas everyone on that show did not save themselves (but that is another topic for another time), while chatting on two boards ( a big thanks for hosting goes out to: A Stern Warning (Mookie) and College Hoops Net (Shawn) ) and reading my Twitter I have to say that overall I am pretty happy about...

... year before being traded to Toronto.Former college stand-out and current ESPN basketball analyst Jay Bilas was surprised Mills slipped so low."He can be a solid back-up point guard in the NBA and honestly I'm surprised that he didn't go a lot higher in this draft," he said."I thought he would be a late first-round pick or pretty early in the second round."But I think this young man can play...

Draft coverage starts in 35 minutes, and I gotta head home, so I don't miss any essential Jay Bilas moments. Shoals will be Covering It Live over at the Baseline, and I'll be getting all a-Twitter (ha! bet no one's ever used that one before!).If you're looking for something to do between picks, you could do worse than downloading this polka track from legendary free jazz saxophonist Frank

If nothing else, my fiancée will be excited about this pick. Like Chinemelu Elonu, she also attended Texas A&M. From there, however, the similarities rapidly decrease. She's not much on the hardcourt. He's a 6'10" lefty F-C and Nigerian native that Jay Bilas really digs. The ESPN analyst described the kid as a hard working, athletic rebounder with a particularly good nose for...

I don't really understand at all taking at #45 Nick Calathes. Calathes is just one of those guys who never seems to be the sum of his parts. Jay Bilas may have identified the problem with him--that he doesn't seem to be aware enough of what the other guys on the floor need from him at any given moment. That's a troubling tendency in a point guard. He's also got contract issues, as he's signed...

Rubio may be small, and he'll probably be invisible defensively, but he's going to be a lot of fun to watch.And Jay Bilas steps up with his first backhanded compliment of the evening, saying that Rubio, "looks like a tennis player." That's his pleasant way of saying he's...
