Weekend Dump

I really don't condone extensive internet-browsing during holiday weekends, especially not on a holiday weekend chalk-full of good sporting events.

But, if it happens to rain (which it is, like, everywhere) then I wouldn't mind at all if you wasted your brain-cells parusing the weekend's worth of links.

- Many early entrants will go undrafted. It is unfortunate that this will happen, but with an impending lockout looming over the NBA, many players are willing to take the risk now as oppose to staying in school and waiting till a weaker draft class.

- This draft class features a record number of entrants. For some, going back to school is not an option, so it is a low-risk/high-reward situation. For others, bad advice or inflated value can cloud the vision of talented youngsters to make them believe they can get drafted in the first round. Oh well, if they don't get drafted, there is always Europe.
