Illini Get Shut Out of 2011 NBA Draft
Posted on 25 Jun 2011 by Jason Patt.
Former Illini Demetri McCamey, Jereme Richmond and to a lesser extent Mike Davis were all hoping to hear their name called last night in the 2011 NBA Draft. Unfortunately, their time never came. I guess it shouldn't come as that big a surprise that none of them got picked. I held out a little bit of hope for McCamey and Richmond, but I completely understand why teams stayed away. They both had ...

Murray plays smart at the 2011 NHL Draft
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Mika Oehling.
There was only one thing that was going to make up for the disappointment of foregoing a first round draft pick last year in exchange for a trade that has so far not profited the Ottawa Senators; a good showing at this year's draft in Minnesota. And Murray didn't disappoint or make a predictable choice. In fact, he made an unlikely choice which was referred to in my pre-draft blog entry, mostly...

Top Ten NBA Draft Busts of All-Time
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Mick Moody.
Because my roommate is unable to comprehend any information from TV other than sports, I was forced to watch that butchering of a draft last night. David Stern might as well have just announcing the retirements of all the draftees because we will never hear any of those names again. One thing the draft did prompt me to do was to take a look at some of the all-time monumental draft busts in the ...

Celtics Draft Johnson and Moore
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Michael Johnson.
The Boston Celtics seem to have acquired depth, experience, and a pinch of chemistry during last night’s annual NBA Draft. In a rarely seen move, the Celtics drafted two players from the same college squad, JaJuan Johnson, and E’Twaun Moore of the Purdue Boilermakers. Johnson, a 6-10 and 220lbs forward, provides the C’s some with much needed size. He had a very successful college campaign...

2011 Draft Lessons: Expect the Unexpected
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Eric Cooney.
Around this time of year many different media outlets, scouts, and bloggers offer up their mock drafts for how the NHL Entry Draft will likely go down. I'm not here to poo-poo their mock drafts because the purpose of them is not to predict exactly how it will go down, but to try to get inside a General Manager's head for a moment and figure out what they want and what they need. For the mos...

SOUND OFF: Cleveland Rocks! Bottom In NBA Draft
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Cal Lee.
The buzz surrounding the 2011 NBA Draft was never really about what the Cleveland Cavaliers should do rather than what they shouldn't do. The hype leading up to the top 2 prospects Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams made me wonder whether Cleveland was clearly looking for one these guys to be their future or if they were being bullied to take someone because of the hype that comes with having ...

Kyrie Irving stars in the 2011 NBA Draft
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Warren Shaw.
The 2011 NBA Draft was not the hit the league had hoped but there was plenty of movement and trades that are sure to have fans shrugging their shoulders. The night belonged to Kyrie Irving who the Cleveland Cavaliers admitted was their number 1 choice all along. All the smoke and mirrors the Cavaliers put out came to an anticlimactic end as David Stern announced Irving's name without hesitati...

Vancouver Looks To Bolster Depth At NHL Entry Draft
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Kevin Kelly.
The Vancouver Canucks finished the regular season with the most points and based on that were the number one rated team. The Canucks made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final, before losing to the Boston Bruins 4-0 in Game 7, of course there goal was to win the Stanley Cup, they came close and by all accounts it was a successful season. With the 2010-2011 season over it is time to look to ...

Heat fill a need with Norris Cole
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Warren Shaw.
Conventional wisdom coming into Thursday night's NBA Draft was that the Miami Heat would be selecting a point guard. Team sources indicated earlier in the week that if all things remained the same (with their pick) they would most likely draft a general. Things didn't exactly remain the same but the mission was still accomplished. Miami found a willing and familiar partner in the Minnesota Timb...

2011 Bruins Draft…Who’s next?
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Jim Mulligan.
It seems hard to believe that it's been a full year since we last heard Taylor versus Tyler…Seguin versus Hall. Who would Edmonton pick? Could Boston actually trade up to get the #1 overall? We all know Edmonton took Hall, the Bruins took Seguin and last year is officially history. Anyway, onto Minnesota and the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. The Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins (I do love sayin...

NHL Draft Preview: New Jersey Devils
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Matt Pellicane.
On Friday night the New Jersey Devils will look to the NHL Draft to add a player who will make a mark on the club in the (hopefully) very near future, and help erase memories of this past season's debacle. The Devils missed the playoffs in 2010-2011, marking the first time the club has not been a playoff participant since 1996. Based on where the Devils finished in the overall NHL standings...

Flames Draft Look – Regher
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
It's taken a while but the stink of last season has finally come off for most Flames fans. With the upcoming draft Calgary is able to look towards the future and that means the draft. First off I'll suggest that there is a better than 50/50 chance the Flames won't end up using their 13th overall pick in this years draft. There are a lot of rumblings that depending on what is in play the Flames ...
