Well, tonight's the big night. Marvin goes to Atlanta at #2, Raymond and Sean to Charlotte with picks 5 and 13, respectively. Rashad right after at 14 to the T-Wolves.
I'm proud of our guys and look forward to following their professional careers.
As of right now (11:00 pm), Jawad Williams has not been drafted.

The Bobcats did themselves a huge favor both on the court and financially. Their selections of two Tar Heels will work wonders for their ticket and merchandising sales. Plus, grabbing the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four in 2004 worked out for them (Emeka Okafor was Rookie of the Year).

So you won't have to go far to see your Tar Heels. Raymond and Sean get an excellent opportunity to learn the pro game together on a young, improving team. I won't say they'll make the playoffs next year, but they're building a foundation.

I'll post links and more reaction tomorrow.

So there's not a whole lot going on nowadays. Not a whole lot of news. Not a whole lot to read, recap and react to. Readership is down, but I expected that.

Right now I'm watching Game 3 of the NBA Finals, hoping Larry and Rasheed can get this thing together. It's interesting to think about the degrees of separation and how Carolina basketball permeates professional basketball. I bet you could connect any NBA player to a Carolina guy in less than two degrees. Either a) is an alum, b) has been coached by an alum, or c) has played with an alum. The next degree would be has played with someone who has played with or been coached by an alum. I haven't tried it, but I bet you could do it.

Russ Adams is mentioned in an article in the current ESPN the Magazine about young shortstops. Congrats to another Carolina guy.

The first student-athletes were recognized by the Carolina Leadership Academy in its first season.

Nine Tar Heels received the Carolina Leadership Academy's highest honor, the Three Dimensional Leader (3DL) Award. Winners of the 3DL Award for the 2004-05 school year were Darian Durant and Jason Brown (football), Emily Glunz and Julie Domina (rowing), Carey Fetting-Smith (field hockey), Alice Schmidt (cross country), Lindsey Stover and Gina Allen (women's lacrosse) and Katie Wright (volleyball).

The 3DL Award is determined by the ratings given to captains and team leaders by UNC coaches and teammates using the Team Leadership Evaluation, which measures a leader's ability to be an effective leader vocally and by example.

Congratulations to those folks.

Email me with tips. Thanks for readiong.

Well I was going to let you know exactly who was where in preparation for this month's NBA Draft, but Adam Lucas beat me to it.
He gives a great update on who's been where, who's hurt, who's sick, and who's climbing up the charts.

Thanks Adam.
