For those who missed it, one of the more entertaining NBA Drafts in recent history went down last night. The draft had All-Stars being traded, known commodities being drafted, and Noah’s bowtie. Here’s a quick recap of relevant local players and teams……
Horford Goes #3
Big Al goes to the ATL, where he will compete with the slumlord aka Sheldon Williams, whom the Hawks drafted just last year, for a starting position.
Brewer In Minnesota
Corey heads north to play for a team on the decline. Kevin Garnett wants out, and the T-Wolves could be paying in Oklahoma City within a year or two. At least Brewer gets to play with Gators teammate Chris Richard.
Windy City Renaissance
Joakim Noah and his bowtie are drafted by the Bulls who made two huge upgrades by picking up Noah and Pitt center Aaron Gray. Chicago has far and away the most talent in the East.
Richard Picked Before Green
Gators 6th man Chris Richard is picked 11 spots before Florida’s starting point guard Taurean Green. There were plenty of questions about Green and he may have been better served to stay in college for another year to develop his game.
A Buckeye in Florida
Miami was the only Florida team with a pick in the first round, which they used to get Ohio State guard Daequan Cook, a talented freshman who still needs a lot of work before he is NBA ready.

Florida became the first school to have not one, not two, but three players taken in the first ten picks of the draft. Now, Florida is the home of first ten picks in the NBA, which means this team not just an ordinary one. Well, I’m looking forward to see more picks from Florida. Congratulations!
