Every year there are a few players who shock us by jumping up draft boards. It's still early, and the balls haven't even started bouncing, but in this slideshow we take a look at the top seven players who are currently not projected in the lottery who could end up there. If you think someone from this list has NO shot at going in the lottery let us know. ...

When the regular season comes to an end, the veteran, more experienced teams usually tend to rise to the top, filling out the eight playoff seeds. Because that is the case, there are likely very few teams with rookies handling key roles. With that being said, careers are made in the postseason, so here is our take on the five rookies who ...

We're nearly as happy as David Stern about the upcoming NBA Draft. This is our favorite time of the year because the landscape of the league can shift with just a few words. "With the first pick in the 1992 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic select . . . Shaquille O'Neal." Or maybe you prefer, "With the first pick of the 2003 NBA Draft, the Cleveland ...

The 2009-2010 NBA season officially ends tonight. It has been a great season with a lot of highs and lows. Many players and teams have impressed us, and many have let us down. With that being said, we decided to take a look back at the 2008 NBA rookies to see who improved most in their sophomore season. Without further ado, here are our Eight Most Improved NBA Sophomores.

On paper, everything has lined up for the Utah Jazz.  Deron Williams has played like an All-Star, Carlos Boozer is consistently contributing, they have role players at the wings who do everything Jerry Sloan could ask for, and they have depth.  They have their third 50 win season in the last 4 years and are considered to be a dark horse to win the Larry O’Brien trophy this season.  Absolutely ...

The 2010 New Jersey Nets were beyond bad.  They were terrible, awful, disappointing, and horrendous.  However, not all is lost for the fine folks of East Rutherford, or is it Brooklyn now.  As hard as it may be to comprehend now, the Nets will be just fine. At point guard they have a perennial All-Star in the making, Devin Harris.  He made it to his first All-Star game in 2009 as ...

The 2009 NBA season is almost over. As a site dedicated to covering NBA rookies we thought we'd give a shot at assigning grades to each of the first round picks.

Everyone is so enthralled with the lottery process and being a lottery pick. Does it really matter what pick you’re drafted in the first round? We don’t think so, and we’ll do our best to explain why. Take for example Texas freshman Avery Bradley. Bradley had a very good season for an underachieving Longhorn team that sputtered in the Big 12 this year. He averaged 12 points, three rebounds, two assists, and ...

The 2009 NBA Draft is almost a year old now so we decided to take a look back at the players drafted in the lottery and see whether or not they were worthy of their selections. Some decisions may have looked good at the time, but in the end, some teams definitely would take a mulligan. We're giving them exactly that and calling a redo on the lottery of ...

The NCAA Tournament has reached its Final Four and the NBA regular season is winding down. At this point, we have a pretty good idea of which NBA teams will have which pick and which college players will be testing the NBA waters.
