-- Utah could also make a deal, as the Jazz worked out Russian center Pavel Podkolzine, who apparently has grown from 7-foot-4 to 7-5 since the last time I wrote about him (last week). Anyway, this is an interesting development when you consider the Jazz have the No. 19 pick, and Podkolzine is expected to be selected in the top 10. Is Utah considering trading up? It's hard to tell. The Jazz have also worked out Arizona point guard Jason Gardner and Wyoming swingman Donta Richardson. Howard Eisley did a nice job running the offense last season and appeared to regain his shooting touch, so for the time being he's the starter - unless a big trade comes the Knicks' way that would bring a proven veteran into the mix. If McDyess is healthy, he'll start in the frontcourt along with Thomas, while Michael Doleac rounds out the rotation along with Clarence Weatherspoon.

Prior to Wade, Lee had been MU's highest draftee being tabbed 10th overall in 1978. -- Allow me to break from this though long enough to beg you to hold those angry e-mails -- I don't think LeBron James is the next Fennis Dembo! Or anything even close. I'm just trying to point out that the NBA draft sure ain't what it used to be. I mean, take a look at Boston College guard Troy Bell. He played four years in the Big East, and has been called the most athletic player entering the draft by more than one scout. He can shoot, defend, and has a great attitude. That much we know. Yet Bell probably won't be drafted until the second round. Why? As one GM told me, "Because everyone's seen him play too much. Nobody finds him to be all that intriguing." Ah, yes. There's that word again. -- I call the current line of thinking, The Fennis Dembo Exception. Remember Dembo, the talented and colorful collegian who played for the University of Wyoming in the late 1980s? He was a nice college player, but too slow to play guard and too small to play forward in the NBA. And every NBA scout and GM knew it. But Dembo had pizzazz, the type of fun-loving attitude that would put people in the seats. So he got drafted. And to no one's surprise, he was too slow to play guard and too short to play forward.
