Where, not when, is key question in draft
Posted Jun 28, 2007
As Brandan Wright sits at Madison Square Garden during tonight's NBA Draft, may we suggest he use this mantra as he waits for NBA commissioner David Stern to call his name: Don't pick me third. Don't pick me third. For future NBA players, getting drafted by the right team is often better than being picked high. The latter may earn you more money up front in the NBA's rookie salary structure, but the former may enhance your shot at having a solid career.
