NBA DRAFT LOTTERY TONIGHT
Tonight at 5:30 Pacific (ESPN), the 2005 NBA Draft Lottery will take place in Secaucus, New Jersey. Remember when the lottery was held during halftime of a playoff game? In recent years, it's now a pregame affair. It's too bad that TNT isn't televising the lottery. Hell, it's a bigger shame that they aren't doing the draft anymore. You tell me who's better to listen to during the draft, Charles Barkley or Tom Tolbert?
This year, the lottery takes on a more significant role for folks from Kitsap County, or more specifically, Bremerton. Where will Marvin Williams go? We'll have a better idea tonight once we know the actual order of the draft.
