Repurposing Ridiculous Upside

I'm going to make this short, quick and sweet: the D-League season is officially over and therefore, Ridiculous Upside is about to get pretty boring. We'll still cover the D-League when it's important (coaching changes, maybe some player profiles, etc.), but things are just too slow for the D-League before Summer League stuff starts to roll in to update this site daily about the D-League.
Wait! Have no fear! It's one of the most wonderful times of the year - NBA Draft time.
If you weren't aware, the phrase "ridiculous upside" encompasses more than just the D-League. In fact, it was probably never meant to encompass the D-League at all - but, as you may know, the times, they are a-changin'.
The biggest changes, you'll see, is that myself and Jon L are adding two new front page bros - The Artist Formerly Known As Michael Bourn (Liberty Ballers' Draft Guru) and fetch9 (who runs about 19 blogs on the interwebs, is from North Dakota and interviewed Russell Robinson for RU this season).
I'll have both of them introduce themselves sometime soon, but to give you a quick primer, they both:
- Are really smart when it comes to college basketball,
- Talk to me on Twitter.
- Will allow me to GTL on occasion instead of having to worry about what to write about Jordan Eglseder (I trust Eglseder's on both of their draft boards).
- Also, I hope they don't end up like Rod Belding and ditch us for a hot stewardess right before we're about to go whitewater rafting.
Anyway, throughout the next two months (up until Summer League, really), you can expect wall-to-wall NBA draft coverage - mock drafts, player profiles, big boards, funny stuff, daily link dumps and everything else to make RU your one-stop shop for SBNBA Draft Coverage.
This begs the question, by the way - what else would you like out of RU to make us your one-stop shop for the NBA Draft?
Seriously, answer what else in the comments. Or welcome the new guys. Or tell me how sweet of an idea it was to stay up all night to watch Boy Meets World and Saved By The Bell.

Are you saying that you're the better Belding?

Yes. I’m even starting to be the balding Belding.

I’m so proud to be a TBDDB. Although working with Steve Fetch may get confusing when I reference all things cool as fetch.

LOL
That’s not that funny, but for some reason I got Fletch and fetch mixed up.
Also, I miss that version of Lindsay Lohan.

This means war Scott. Don’t be surprised if I sleep with Topanga now.

Is Jon L Topanga? Who would that make me?

Rachel.
Or Angela, maybe? Or maybe TK, Harvey Kiner’s little sister.

I'm not comfortable with the tone of this comment thread.
Ridiculous Upside, where developing talent and winning are not mutually exclusive.

Does this suit your comfort zone better?

My big pun reference was in itself a pun. A big one, to be sure.
