Top 100 Early Draft Prospects; 1936 Long Island U Basketball

If you desire to get the latest information on the NBA Draft, ESPN is a good place to start. Chad Ford already has a Top 100 board set up, with the best and brightest NBA Draft declarations ranked in terms of potential NBA strength. Take a look at where the best players wind up. You might be surprised to see that Psycho-T isn’t in the top 20.  In fact, he’s projected to go late in the second round.

In other news, if you’re looking to take a few moments to read something impressive and important in a historical sense, you should check out Michael Weinreb’s Page 2 column about the 1936 Long Island University college basketball team. Apparently, in the year prior to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, LIU was without a doubt the best college basketball team in the nation- better by far than the Tar Heels this year. This was back when mostly college players were involved in the Olympics. Well, the team decided to boycott the Olympics for political reasons, and the story about the event is just coming forth, as the players and coach were, mysteriously, silent about this issue.
