Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5303037, member: 1414"] I think in a general sense, the NBA is trying to capture the magic, the event that is the NFL draft. They are failing completely in that goal. They will go back to the drawing board I am sure. They have nobody who even knows these players on the broadcasts. There's a stable of college guys who could be good at this, but they choose the NBA guys who are often woefully ignorant of the college game (and in Perk's case, woefully ignorant in general). They need the basketball equivalent of a Mel Kiper or something. A guy who studies all these players, including international, builds little highlight videos, who can dissect strengths, weaknesses etc. Maybe they will get there. Right now, it's style >>>>>>>>substance and that isn't working. [/QUOTE]
