Anyway, I get a certain pleasure thinking of the possibility that he could consign Tyler Hansbrough, crowned the supposed toughest basketball player in the history of the universe or some such garbage by the media, to Sheldon Williams-like minutes on the Pacer bench. May not happen, but I'd love it if it did.
In case anyone is interested, the 2010 NBA Draft Lottery will be held tonight and it will be televised on ESPN and online at ESPN3.com starting at 8 p.m. ET.
You can play the lottery for yourself using the above link and also check out the odds of getting the coveted number one pick (i.e. most likely our very own John Wall) for each of the lottery teams.
This little tidbit according to Dave Telep via Twitter: "Spoke with John Wall today. I think it’s the most relaxed and excited I've heard him in a long time. ESPN live w/him tonight."[UPDATE] -- Full 2010 NBA Draft Lottery results can be found here.
