As I wait...




As I fight sleep and await the Wizards to select at #56 overall...

I wonder, how can the Knicks screw with their fanbase?
They have back-to-back selections in the 2nd round.

At first, they get it right.
They select the senior PG, Andy Rautins of Syracuse.
He's a hometown guy. He's a leader. He's a shooter. Great.

The next pick, fans are chanting "STEPH-EN-SON," begging the Knicks to select New York native, and former Cincinnati Bearcat, Lance Stephenson.

The guard is undeniably talented, but questions of his maturity and ability to play within a team concept are legitimate. However, in the 2nd round, it is worth the risk.

Well, as I type... the Pacers have just selected Lance "Born Ready" Stephenson.
We'll see how the ball-controlling shooting guard fairs in the NBA.
With Danny Granger and Brandon Rush on board, he won't have to rush his NBA development.
