Heroman's case displays how bizarre draft can be:

Apparently, LSU has lost another basketball player to the NBA draft.

First Brandon Bass, and now Curtis Heroman. Actually, Heroman declared first, back on April 15. Only Heroman never played basketball at LSU. Well, actually he has. But he never played basketball for LSU. He played intramural ball.

He was the lead story on the NBA draft portion of Sportscenter last night, pretty cool. 66 underclassmen have declared and only 60 total guys will be drafted.

Looks like someone got some bad advice.

Not sure if it was bad advice or pressure to go out and get a bunch of money quickly. None of us know who was putting what pressure on Brandon of course but it wouldn't surprise me if he was under an unbelieveable amount. They most likely looked at the $1.5 mill or so he could sign for in Europe for as a good alternative. Just guessing though.

In other news, John Brady has said that he is willing to talk with the Celtics about a potential coaching opportunity.

Bass will be ok. The money is good. Out of 66 players and 60 spots I believe some of them are getting some poor advice.

Uncontrollable laughter:

"He was a good role player," U-High coach Ari Fisher said. "He averaged may six or eight points a game. He understood the game. I tried him at point guard his sophomore year. He was a diabetic. He was thin, and there was a problem with his stamina.

"But he was as good as anybody for two or three minutes. He was a very intelligent kid, and Curtis was always very conscientious. He was also on the track team and could really jump."

Fisher said he has not spoken with Heroman in a few years.

"Is this a joke?" Fisher said when first told the news. "He's in the draft?"

I'm sure the Hornets are giving Heroman a closer look...

I'm not so sure this kid do all the right thing.

- Have he sits down and talks to c. Brady about joining the team as a full time starter? He should have asked c. Brady to redesign the offense to fit his playing style.

- Called a press conference with his parent to annouce his intention to enter the NBA draft.

- I hope he did not sign an agent so that if he does not get draft, he can always come back to play basketball in college.

- He should have contacted Vandy about a Basketball Scholarship.

This one belongs to one of the most hilarious story related to the NBA draft fiasco.

:rofl:
