This may come as a surprise to you, but I love basketball. And even back when I hated the NBA, I still watched the NBA draft religiously. Now that the league has improved and we have a local interest, my obsession has only increased.
The sad thing is that as the demand for NBA information has increased, the local media's knowledge has not kept up. With the exception of The Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry, we get very little informed opinion or speculation about the draft in this market. Most of the talk is centered around guys who played in the Big XII or else made the cover of Sports Illustrated. So, to fix this, I recruited some of Oklahoma City's best internet basketball writers to collaborate on a mock draft.
