With 30 picks and 2 rounds, 60 young men will find out their fate in just a few more hours on ESPN!!!!

I am looking forward in seeing where my boo Thomas Robinson goes!!! This is an exciting night for the both of us! He is projected to get picked up at number 2 with the Charlotte Bobcats or 3 with the Washington Wizards, so I guess we will find out.

The top story has been Dion Waiters from Syracuse since the combine. During the combine Waiters cancelled everything and by everything, I mean everything due to a promise somewhere in this draft! He cancelled his workouts, his hotel room, the medical stuff, his meals, you name it; he cancelled it. The teams that are running in the air as whom he made have made this deal with are Phoenix Suns, Toronto Raptors, and Portland Trailblazers. I had the opportunity to watch him play last year and I think he is a great guard. In my opinion, I think he is a scorer, very strong and quick off the dribble.

There is no doubt that Anthony Davis will be picked at the number 1 spot going to the Hornets or is he?!?! Well my boo thang said in so many words that he is the number one pick in this year’s draft by comparing stats! He averaged 17.9 points, 11.8 rebounds to Davis’ 14.2 points, 10.4 rebounds.

I feel a little bad for Kentucky but I am sure they are just peachy! They got their championship and now their WHOLE team declared for the draft this year; Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marquis Teague, Terrence Jones, Doron Lamb and Senior Darius Miller….no repeat for UK and Calipari.

So I think I may agree with a lot of Buckeye fans and maybe college basketball fans in general that Jared Sullinger should have stayed just one more year. Maybe that is selfish because we had such a great team in my opinion and could possibly do great things this year. But I am ok with the selfish route.  I think he could have stayed to improve his game a little more, but who am I! Now, he is dealing with the issue of not being invited to the draft, rumors about his back, and possibly falling down the draft board. Now it’s too late and he has to really prove himself now. I haven’t really heard too much concerning his workouts but I really hope he gets picked up which I am sure a team will grab him!

Now I kept a close eye on the combine…weird, yeah I know, but I watched it. I also have been keeping track of all the draft talk and I would have to agree there is some talent this year! I am sure most of these players will not hit the wood as all-stars as they would like or believe they will be and I am sure some will be a bust…there is always a few, but I do wish them all well tonight especially my boo #TeamRobinson
