2009 NBA Draft: 1st Rd
http://0rz.tw/4z79B
After 60 picks and 100,000 trades, we now know who was
selected in the 2009 NBA Draft and what teams they may
be playing for in 2009. I will let the other web sites
debate over what teams were the winners and losers.
Here, our main concern is sorting out the agencies that
were popping champagne vs. those leaving Madison Square
Garden with their heads down. This post will cover the
first round. A second round post will follow.

Notes:
Leading up to the draft, I really liked that Goodwin
Sports Management was doing to get its clients
connected on social networks. My man Nate Jones, a
law student at UCLA, has been doing a great job helping
out Aaron Goodwin and Co. on publicizing GSM client
Twitter accounts and setting up Rookie Chronicles.
BDA Sports seems to have dodged any potential negative
recruiting ramifications from the company’s involvement
with the O.J. Mayo scandal. Three BDA clients were taken
in the top ten picks of the draft. Four BDA clients went
in the top fifteen. Six in the top twenty-one! Where
WMG made the headlines last year, BDA definitely took
over the 2009 draft.
Speaking of WMG, the company had three players taken
in the top sixteen picks. And BEST had three guys
selected in the top seventeen picks. WMG still dominated
with five total draft picks in the first round.
The first Israeli player drafted was taken by the Kings.
The fairly new GM of the Kings is a friend, Jason Levien.
I am happy for him because I think Omri Casspi was a steal
at the slot picked, and Levien is supporting the Jews!
One of my favorite players in the draft, Toney Douglas,
was taken by a team who I think will really benefit from
drafting him. Knicks fans should be happy with that pick.
