LSU coming to Montlake in 2009

Constable Echelon “I can tell you this, that they have a much easier road to travel,” Miles said. “They’re going to play real knockdown drag-outs with UCLA and Washington, Cal-Berkeley, Stanford — some real juggernauts — and they’re going to end up, it would be my guess, in some position so if they win a...

Sonics strike gold in hypothetical second round

Constable Echelon Sick of weighing the merits of Jerryd Bayless and Brook Lopez yet? Me too. But the gaping chasm between the top two picks of the draft and the rest of the field mustn’t dissuade us from baseless pontificating. I’m talking mock drafts. I’m talking mock draft analysis.
