I'm torn between watching the vertical coverage or ESPN. I kinda wish the vertical draft was on TV, so I could have my laptop screen was free.

Damn, didn't realize NBATV is also airing the draft. 3 different options for coverage. [Brain explodes]

Edit: No way am I watching Kenny Smith yell at the TV for 4 hours. So, back to two options.

I'm going to endure the NBATV coverage. It's the only TV option I have.

I'm here for tonight. Kinda indifferent on the draft, just hoping for some big moves by lots of teams tonight for entertainment value.

french Frank has another game tomorrow in France and is planning on flying back after draft to play. That has to be a first.

Vertical talking about french Frank and its like the exact need for the Hornets. Good defender, PG/SG combo guard with good playmaking and a smooth shot.

Wonder why Cho is going to pass him up for Mitchell in about 45 minutes
