A day after the Draft ends, and I'm pretty shot. We'll have
a post-Draft chat later today, and the obligatory team grading column that
needs to be cut by a few trillion words, but my wrists (quite literally) need a
break after six and a half hours of live blogging on Thursday.
I'd like to invite you to take a look at both sessions, one
for the 1993 NBA Draft , and one for the 2008 version . ...

A day later, what was Brook Lopez thinking? | Ball Don't Lie Brook Lopez is my new least favorite NBA player. As if crying (CRYING!) after not geting picked ninth wasn't bad enough, there was all this: ...

Your Next Doublemint Twins: Brook and Robin!
thesportsculture.com 6/26/2008 — The marketing department at Wrigly kinda botched their latest “Doublemint Twins” successor. Granted, on paper it looked good. Brook and Robin — typically names reserved for sexy foxes, or pseudo porn names, nevertheless. But nope, it’s Brook and Robin Lopez, Stanford’s 7-foot NBA lottery-aspiring twins. Here’s how it probably transpired in the conference room:

The Bobcats Swear Felton Is Still Starting and MJ Discusses Trading G-Force for T.J. Ford — FanHouse
The Bobcats, needless to say, had a curious draft. Everyone expected Brook Lopez ' name to get called at nine; after all, what need does Charlotte have with D.J. Augustin if Raymond Felton is the future at point guard? (Answer: exactly.) But Charlotte reaffirmed today that Felton is going to keep starting and that Augustin was merely drafted as a backup. "We don't think D.J. is going to come ...

Brook Lopez: 'I'm Going To Be Like Brady Quinn' [NBA Draft] — Deadspin
Brook Lopez, one half of the approximately 14 feet that is the Lopez twins, was considered the more-talented basketball brother at Stanford University this past season. Although possibly not the more mature. Witness his wit and wisdom during the NBA Draft, including the highly quotable: "This is so booooooring!" Lopez went to the Nets with the 10th pick , so I don't know what he was ...
Brook Lopez: "This Is So BORING!" — AwfulAnnouncing
I added this to the morning video post on Deadspin, but there needs to be a spot for this on the site. Ladies and gents, I give you Brook Lopez "Wired"....

Some Sort of Trade Is Gonna Go Down in Bobcat Land Soon — FanHouse
The buzz out of Charlotte is all about D.J. Augustin . And how could it not be? The Bobcats passed over Brook Lopez , a.k.a. the scoring big man they need to move Emeka Okafor to the four, in favor of Texas' point guard. And they did this when, in theory, they already have the point guard of the future, Raymond Felton . But obviously, Larry Brown does not care for Felton. I am making that ...
I can't believe I got rejected from Stanford — Pure Point
The Lopez twins did a great impression of being functionally retarded last night.
First, Brook Lopez admits while being mic'ed up that he had no idea who the head coach, GM, or President of the Nets (the team that drafted him was). Even when prompted Lawrence Frank, he still seems clueless.
[H/T Odenized for the video]
Next, after being compared to Sideshow Bob on ESPN's ...
NBA Draft hangover — tonyblogs.net - Sports news, humor, videos and prognostications.
Apparently I spoke a little too soon in my second-round Draft thoughts post , because Joey Dorsey won't be in Portland after all. The Blazers traded him to Houston with Darrel Arthur for Nicholas Batum. Dorsey will be a nice addition to a Houston team that, like Portland, could use an extra big guy.
Here's some more NBA Draft stuff to get your morning started:

Brook Lopez is the next Brady Quinn… well not quite — Hail Mary Jane
Former Stanford Center Brook Lopez was predicted by many to be a top 5 pick during last nights draft. So much for that. He ended up going at number 10 to the New Jersey Nets . This is a video of him sharing his thoughts about how bored he was during the process, how he and Brady Quinn have a lot in common and how he doesn’t really know much about his new team. Funny stuff. Thanks ...
Sweet, lets make some picks... or not. — BobcatsPlanet.com
Let me start off by saying I fully endorse Ziggy’s reasons for NOT drafting Brook Lopez. Brook Lopez? Umm, no please. I think the NBA has enough Chris Mihms as it is, thank you very much. Does anyone else’s face light up when they check one of Chad Ford’s 11,000 mock draft models that feature the Timberwolves selecting Brook with the third pick? I could totally see McHale pulling the trigger ...
Brook Lopez: Post Draft Interview — NetsDaily Blog
BROOK LOPEZ
(No. 10 Overall Selection, New Jersey Nets)
Q. What are your thoughts?
BROOK LOPEZ: I’m just really excited. Jersey, I know they are pretty much rebuilding now and made that big trade today, I just hope to bring great energy to the club and help build up the middle defensively.
Q. The Nets already have Williams and Boone and Diop, so how do you see yourself fitting ...

NBA Draft Live Blog: Thursday at 7 — FanHouse
There's already been plenty of movement around the league leading up to this draft -- including the Clippers/Sonics rumor and the Richard Jefferson to Milwaukee (sucka!) deal -- and no one really knows what's going to happen tonight. (Except the guy above, Rose, who's kicking it because he's going early, he's gonna be rich, and he knows it.) We think Chicago is going to take Derrick Rose , ...

Coffee Beans. Everywhere. — Timberwolves Den
No, Michael Beasely isn't going to drop into our lap. Yes, O.J. Mayo is more talented than any wing player currently on our roster. Yes, Brook Lopez is second coming of Felton Longley Grant No, the automatic coffee maker isn't working. Sorry. This draft is one that's ripe with the potential to fail. Our team just won't be able to get this one right. There isn't one chance in a million they ...
