Feeling an NBA Draft

by Ron Ledgard on June 24, 2008

in NBA

Spent some time on the Internet looking at mock drafts and other scouting services and came away with one thought: This NBA Draft is awful.

If the Cavs can find help in this draft, then kudos to GM Danny Ferry and his scouts.

A breakout box that I put together for Thursday's paper shows that seven experts all think that the Cavs will take a different player.

My guess is a center or forward rather than another shooting guard. So I will say Roy Hibbert of Georgetown and Kosta Koufos if he gets past the Golden State Warriors.

Hello,
I heard that Brian Windhorst is very sick and I was wondering if the Beacon was going to run a story or somthing about it?

Run a story? What's to say? The guy has pneumonia. He'll get better and get back to work. There, there's your story. Who needs or wants to have notice of their diseases plastered in the newspaper? I had a bad case of hives a few weeks ago, I didn't call my buddy at the Columbus Dispatch and tell him to stop the presses. Give Windhorst the same courtesy.

Ron I have a good idea.

Why not let alan t. operate Windhorst's blog on an interim basis. Alan knows a lot about the team and he truly possesses a mysterious gift for getting people to respond with passion.

I'm all for that, larry d. But only until Windhorst fully recovers, though. It's his rightful gig. Indeed, I even went on eBay and bought and sent Windhorst a Danny Ferry rookie card to the hospital. Really. If there's anything that will cheer that kid up and bring him back to perfect health, it's a Danny Ferry rookie card. I even had it laminated so Windhorst can keep it protected and carry it around in his wallet like Bob Costas carries his Mickey Mantle card around in his wallet.

In the meantime, I strongly urge the Beacon Journal's editors to post this on a daily basis in Windhorst's absence:

Readers care about writers and I thought the Beacon could at least say somthing that hes doing better or somthing.
