NBA News: Mock Draft Included

Well, well, well...It's a big day to be a Kentucky fan and an NBA fan. It's a big day to be a fan of both for a couple of reasons: Rondo is leading the Celtics to the NBA Finals and there will multiple Wildcats picked in the first round of the NBA draft. There are likely to be three in the top 10:

• NBC Sports has Kentucky players going in these spots to these teams: 1). John Wall to the Wizards; 4). DeMarcus Cousins to the Timberwolves; 9). Patrick Patterson to the Jazz (Monster Mash just had a party in his pants if you know what I mean); 13). Daniel Orton to the Raptors; 22). Eric Bledsoe to the Blazers. The entire mock draft can be viewed here. For some strange reason Samardo Samuels was not included in the top 30. I guess it is because he sucks.


• The Celtics are going to face either the Lakers (probably the Lakers) or the Suns in the NBA finals. They look too damn good to lose at this point. Despite 30 points from Dwight Howard, the Celtics out played the Magic in game 2 in Orlando. That's right, in Orlando. Paul Pierce had 28 points and Rajon Rondo had 25 points and 8 assists. Rondo is running this team with total confidence. I am going to say it: Rajon Rondo is the best pure point guard in the NBA.


• The Lakers are going up against the Suns tonight and I envision another Laker victory. Kobe decided after a lackluster first round that he wants to play basketball again. The Lakers have looked dominant ever since they dropped 2 games to the Thunder in the first series. I think that we are on a collision course for a Celtics vs. Lakers finals series and oh how much fun will that be?
