There are those who believe he will be worth the wait. "He is, in my opinion, one of the best passers I have ever seen and has a great basketball IQ," ESPN international-basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla said. "I compare Ricky Rubio to Wayne Gretzky in his prime. He sees plays two and three passes ahead."

Former Syracuse University point guard Jonny Flynn met with the New Jersey Nets' management on Tuesday morning, but he did not participate in the workout. Flynn was still not feeling great after cramping up in a previous workout with another team. Flynn worked out for the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday and visited with the Sacramento Kings for a second time on Sunday. The Nets were the 10th NBA team Flynn visited with. On Tuesday, Flynn said he's heard he can go anywhere from the No. 4 pick to 14th. Flynn's name is on the list of an exclusive group of players invited to the Green Room for the NBA Draft on Thursday night. This means Flynn and his family will sit in Madison Square Garden Theater and wait for his name to be called. He'll then be brought up to the podium to shake commissioner David Stern's hand. |

James Johnson is already 20-0 as a kickboxer and has MMA fight under his belt. That came as an 18-year-old against 31-year-old Damond Clark. SI asked about that fight back in 2006 but presented it in the past tense, Johnson responded by saying he's still a fighter: "I'm not done fighting," he says, throwing a few air jabs while exhaling sharply for effect. "I think about fighting all the time." |

I can feel the plotting and pitches buzzing on those phones and computers in those NBA team draft war rooms...
