<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">On Thursday, a Western Conference scout said he was certain Milwaukee will select Andrew Bogut. He added that he would bet his "bottom dollar" that Atlanta, picking second, will draft either Marvin or Deron Williams -- not point guard Chris Paul. "Atlanta loves Deron Williams," the scout said. To that, Nash said, "I love it!" You decide what Nash meant by that. But as much as we all might want a trade for shooting guard Michael Redd, something tells me Allen won't go that route. Again, we're zigging. And he's zagging. Which means this scouting system, the whole "Moneyball" of wax, is going to be put to the test on draft day. In front of the world, you might say. Allen once told me he got an adrenaline rush when he and Bill Gates boxed up that first homemade computer. Don't think he's not pumped up at the opportunity, picking third overall, to buck traditional logic and unveil this new, analytical, worldwide Blazers scouting machine. Let's just hope the darned thing works. </div> Source
