A few notes:
3. Grizzlies: Stephon Marbury, G, Georgia Tech. Marbury has made
it clear he doesn't want to play for Vancouver, so this
pick--and Marbury--could wind up being the Timberwolves'. Will
Doug West and the No. 5 pick get it done? Marbury, who is close
to Minnesota's Kevin Garnett, hopes so.
10. Pacers (from the Nuggets): Steve Nash, G, Santa Clara.
Although Indiana cleared the way for Travis Best to be its point
guard of the future by trading Mark Jackson to Denver last week,
the Pacers view Nash as the perfect complement.
19. Knicks (from the Hawks via the Heat): Kobe Bryant, G, Lower
Merion (Pa.) High. When you have three first-round selections,
this is the kind of chance that makes sense.
Also, no Peja in the first round. Just thought it was kind of interesting to look back on.
