Bill Simmons draft diary (13th year)
It only covers the first round with a bigger focus on the first picks (as usual). So all the Blazers get is this sentence: "Victor Claver to Portland (yet another talented foreign player for them to stash)"
Still a pretty fun read. No Oden jokes for those keeping track at home.
Off the record he later tweeted this:
"DaJuan Blair to the Spurs at 37? How does [expletive] like this happen? You're damned right I just swore. Unbelievable."

LOL
Bilas said Griffin could “finish with either hand” twice in eight seconds. I’m 39 years old. It still made me laugh.

like this line re: Tyreke Evans
Scott on Evans: “His nickname is ‘Hugo’ because he was born during Hurricane Hugo.” That pick was a natural disaster. Literally.
How did you guys win that?

this makes me love RR even more:
Jones: “For the fans that haven’t seen you play, which NBA player do you think you play like?”
Rubio: “I’m Ricky Rubio, I’m not like anyone else.”
