Screw the NBA

I sat and watched the NBA draft last night, hoping to see and hear a couple WVU players name's being called out by commissioner David Stern. After about 23-24 picks, they had Mike Gansey listed as best available player. I'm excited, I don't know when the last time was that WVU had someone drafted in the first round of the NBA draft. There were six or seven picks remaining in the first round and I felt Gansey was going to be next....for about 36-37 picks.

Not only did he not go in the first round, but he didn't even get drafted in the second round. He spent about 60% of the NBA draft as the best available and never heard his name called.

I figured Kevin Pittsnogle, a 6'11" sharpshooter, was a no brainer. He would also get drafted. After the 60th and final pick, his name wasn't selected either. Sad part was, he was listed as 2nd best available by the end of the draft.

With Alumni like Jerry West and Rod Thorn or WV native Mike Dantoni making the selections for their teams that one or both of these players would have been selected.

No wonder no one watches the NBA anymore.
