Game On!

The easy predictions have already come to fruition with Oden and Durant taking the spots that were set for them by about December, 2006.

So what's left now?

How about this: Some predictions for the Knicks pick, but not who it will be. This prediction is what the reaction of the very partisan crowd will be if certain names are drawn at No. 23.

The ovations:
Isiah Thomas gets the love of the crowd if any of these fall to him and he makes the pick:

1) Sean Williams: The Boston College product was tossed from the team for getting caught smoking pot, but he's a perfect fit next to Eddy Curry. He blocks shots, rebounds and does the dirty work. A longshot to still be available.

2) Morris Almond: The mention of Allan Houston is enough to earn the applause.

3) Daequan Cook: He's got questions, but he's got more talent than anyone outside of the lottery.

The stunned silence:
These are the longshots, but Isiah has certainly earned the trust of the hometown crowd to give him the benefit of the doubt.

1) Wilson Chandler: He's been rumored to be given a promise by the Knicks, but no one seems sure exactly why.

2) Jason Smith: Probably will be gone, but would be an odd fit -- a skilled, but soft 7-footer.

3) Glen Davis: Big Baby has a lot of question marks -- weight is the biggest.

The Scott Layden treatment:
If any of these come up, expect the boos to rain down.

1) Josh McRoberts: No one likes Duke unless you go to Duke.

2) Marc Gasol: The wrong Gasol.

3) Alando Tucker: The great example of the difference between college and the pros.

Do you agree? Are there any suggestions for the categories?
