Tomorrow is the NBA Draft, or "Night of A Thousand Bad Suits", as it's informally known. The Celtics don't have a first-round pick, so I'll get my entertainment from Charles Barkley, trade rumors, and anticipating Bill Simmons' annual Draft column, easily the sportswriting highlight of any summer.
The top pick, owned by Houston, is expected to be Chinese big guy Yao Ming. We'll soon find out if Yao Ming is Chinese for "Shawn Bradley", as has been suggested. I honestly don't know much about the rest of the projected top picks, so I'll just scoop Hubie Brown and John Thompson and project that many of them have tremendous upsides.
