	The NBA Draft for 2002 will take place this Wednesday
		When the NBA draft first started in 1947, it was based on territorial picks.
		In 1980, the draft was reduced to 10 rounds; in 1985 it was reduced to 7 rounds; in 1988 the draft shrunk to just 3 rounds, and 1989 it was reduced to just 2 rounds.
		And while the NBA doesn't officially consider some of these guys "international" players, there's no doubt that they really are, since they are citizens of foreign countries who simply attended college here (e.g., Dan Gadzuric, Chris Christofferson, the Savovic brothers, etc).

	Will Yao pay off? \| Salon News
		The NBA draft sure is a more entertaining show than the NFL draft, which every year is the most ponderous 467 hours of television imaginable.
		The NFL draft is two days' worth of guys you never heard of and will never hear of again unless you're a football junkie who mainlines Dr.
		At least casual fans have heard of most of the guys who go in the first round of the NBA draft, and at least a good number of these guys are going to be playing and maybe even having an impact next season.

	Sportszilla and the Jabber Jocks: NBA Draft Case Study - Tayshaun Prince
		In the 2002 NBA draft, Tayshaun Prince was the 23rd player taken.
		The answer that Zach and I suspect is that NBA personnel people saw in their imaginations that Dunleavy could be a star, but because of his perceived flaws couldn't imagine Prince as a star even though there was strong evidence he'd be just as good or better.
		Teams botch draft picks because they pick the wrong player for their system, not because they are inexperienced or foreign.

	Salon.com News \| Will Yao pay off?
		NBA types love his poise and smarts, not to mention the fact that his dad, a longtime coach, is an NBA type, but he looks to me like one of those guys who look great in college but never quite live up to their supposed potential in the pros.
		I think he'll be even better in the NBA than he seemed to be at UConn, and he seemed pretty damn good at UConn.
		NBA types marked him down because he's too "frail" at 6-3, 165 pounds and, I gather, because he stayed in college for four years, which only mediocrities do, you see.

	SonicsCentral.com \| 2002 NBA Draft Preview (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For Seattle Supersonics fans, the buildup (or lack thereof) for this Wednesday's NBA Draft is reminiscent of the era when the Sonics were perennial Western Conference contenders under coach George Karl.
		With the preponderance of early entry candidates in the Draft and the emphasis most NBA teams place on potential rather than instant results or past performance, college seniors with successful college careers often get lost in the shuffle -- especially if they are considered undersized for their position in the NBA.
		An advantage to selecting a young European is that they may stay overseas until they develop into a player ready to contribute at the NBA level, allowing the team the luxury of leaving their development to someone else.

	ClutchFans - Yao Ming
		No doubt about it, Yao Ming is the talk, the rage and the x-factor of the 2002 NBA Draft.
		He is the biggest mystery of the draft, but no doubt, Ming, at 7-foot-5 and with the shooting range of a guard, is a fascinating prospect.
		Any team that drafts Ming will lose him for parts of seasons due to commitments to China (national team).

		Still, Yi should be an immediate contributor in the NBA and could blossom into a player close to Yao's caliber.

		Welsch, a tall point guard, something that the NBA has been looking for since Magic left, may be a good player, but teaming up with Mike Dunleavy, Jr., who didn't even make the list, on Golden State for the next 10 years does not sit well.
		Stoudemire could easily be a top 3 player in the next 10 years because of his raw talent and highest upside of the draft picks, but I see him as a much better defensive Rashard Lewis who cannot shoot as well.
