Fear The Beard — ... And with the 14th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors select forward Donté Greene from Syracuse.

They got bloggers representing each team in the NBA to draft according to their team’s presumed interest. Full results can be seen over there sometime soon.

Cleveland Cavaliers — ... Courtney Lee, SG, Western Kentucky“LeBron James, meet your Scottie Pippen. Lee played some point at WKU before Tyrone Brazelton came to Bowling Green, so he’s got a well-rounded game and good size for the shooting guard position.

Deceptively Quick — ... soon to be NBA players. I love the draft so much, I love the second round more than the first. I love the draft so much, I may get busted for "inappropriate" use of library internet. That was a masturbation joke.
