Interesting article over at the mothership about draft production in the past 25 years. FSU's tied for 24th with Illinois and Cincy with 14 picks in the last 25 years.
I provided some answers about Jae Crowder for some questions posed by the SB Nation Dallas Mavericks blog, Mavs Moneyball. Check it out!
Nate Timmons over at Denver Stiffs, the SB Nation family Denver Nuggets blog, was present when the team held NBA Draft workouts this week and got a chance to speak with the somewhat local Will Barton, of the University of Memphis. Nate had to include a question on "The Wire" since Barton is originally from Baltimore, but aside from it being a fun read it's also really informative. Check it out!
Yahoo!/DraftExpress has us taking Terrence Ross at 18. I like that a lot better than taking Royce White, honestly. Though we could certainly use depth at PF and C, we need a wing in the worst way possible, as everyone knows.
Joe Kotoch from ProBasketballDraft.com was kind enough to have me join him yesterday for a discussion of the Bucks' offseason and draft needs, as well as plenty of talk about the state of the franchise, the Andrew Bogut/Monta Ellis trade, and of course Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova. It also gave me a chance to pick Joe's brain on how guys like Jared Sullinger, Meyers Leonard and Tyler Zeller project at the next level and how they might fit with the Bucks' roster. Thanks to Joe for having me on and hopefully we'll do it again soon. Check out the podcasts page at ProBasketballDraft.com to listen (second from the top) and be sure to check out Joe's scouting reports and mock draft.
Ziller takes a look back at the last five years in drafts. The Mavericks, as you might expect, didn't do so well.
TNT broadcast analyst, former Phoenix Suns general manager and Arizona Wildcat great Steve Kerr wrote a piece on ESPN.com's Grantland. Kerr advocates a 20-year age limit for entrants into the NBA Draft.

What is this karma they speak about? Ridiculous!
This SUPER early mock draft projects Rodney Hood as the 6th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft
