NBA Draft and D-League Coverage

The Pistons may not be able to afford standing still on draft day, as the Bobcats are conspiring with the Kings and Bucks to sandwich Detroit's No. 8 pick.

The 2011 NBA Draft is just a couple of hours away, but there are still plenty of prospects not familiar to the casual viewer. Fortunately, Ridiculous Upside is here to fix that by giving a bit of a brief rundown of the D-League's draft-eligible Jamine Peterson.

The 2011 NBA Draft is here and that means everyone should be really, really excited. The rumors for the next 12 hours are probably going to include plenty of smokescreens, trade proposals only one of the teams know about and tidbits that seem completely implausible until the second they happen (Long live Pape Sy!).

It's come to that point in time leading up to the 2011 NBA Draft that the morning posting of NBA rumors simply isn't enough. Stories are breaking, sources are talking and trades are a-brewin' all over the internet.

It seems like just last week that 2011 NBA Draft prospect Jeremy Tyler asked "which college is that?" regarding a question about Portland Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillian. Unfortunately, a similar situation happened with Alec Burks on Monday while working out for the Utah Jazz.

The 2011 NBA Draft is officially one day away, meaning all of the mainstream media members are producing their Greatest Hits. Rumors of which players are rising and falling, which teams are trading up and down and which players may or may not have promises are all heating up like Karl Welzein's thighs.

The 2011 NBA Draft is just 48 hours away, which is crazy. It also means that even since Ridiculous Upside posted rumors early Tuesday morning, there are enough for another batch just 12 hours later following a new batch of mock drafts and rumor posts from the big dogs.

The 2011 NBA Draft is just two sleeps away -- as the cool girls on my Facebook say -- which means the rumors, smokescreens and speculation regarding random trades are coming to a head.

Another day closer to the 2011 NBA Draft, another day closer to NBA rumors and ramblings related to what's going to happen when the calendar finally gets to the June 23 draft date. Unfortunately, as everyone is either already in Europe or on their way for the Adidas Eurocamp, not a lot of exciting things are worth repeating.
