NBA draft.

I was trying to follow the NBA draft. I've been reading ESPN's analysis of the draft picks. My brain tells me that these are all non-sense, just wait 6 months, and we will know which picks were smart and which not. But we don't always follow our brains do we? I eat these arm-chair instant quarterback analysis up. After reading though I will have to say I'm disturbed by the cliches I've read. I think Bill Simmons of Sports Guy put it best in his article about Tremondous Upside Potential. I would like to add one more thing. The analysis is almost pornographic. There was numerous mention of "how long" a player is. The adjective "bouncy" was used more than once. And don't get me started on how often the word "penetrating" is followed by "instincts." Is this the NBA draft or the annual AVN awards?
