Lottery Pick Next

#17! Highest I had seen previously was #19. By the end of the day he could be a lottery pick. In jest, of course but good news.

"The prosperity of commerce is now perceived and acknowledged by all enlightened statesmen to be the most useful as well as the most productive source of national wealth, and has accordingly become a primary object of its political cares."

Meeks to Denver?

Interesting. According to one of Leach’s links (Hoops Report), when referring to Jodie it says “Jodie Meeks received a guarantee early in the second round, and after verifying with sources, I am now confident that the promise was given by the Denver Nuggets at No. 34.”

I’m not sure how reliable that is and that may be something everyone but me has heard, but I think that’s pretty interesting. Is it common practice for teams to make a draft prospect a verbal guarantee? I actually don’t think Denver would be all that bad for Jodie and a verbal guarantee would certainly make waiting to hear one’s name on draft day much less stressful.
