    There's still some talent on the board, and KOC was talking about moving up. If he does, he could draft someone whose slipped like Derrick Byars to play at small forward.

    Edit: So just as I type that Portland drafts him.

    And then traded him [​IMG].

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Back at the February trade deadline, the Jazz did the Philadelphia 76ers a favor born out of the friendship between Kevin O'Connor and Billy King, acquiring Alan Henderson in a deal that kept the Sixers below the NBA's luxury-tax threshold.
    That favor apparently was repaid in the second round of Thursday night's NBA draft. After drafting Providence center Herbert Hill with their No. 55 pick, the Jazz traded him to Philadelphia for Ukrainian center Kyrylo Fesenko, who was taken 38th.
    O'Connor, the Jazz's senior vice president of basketball operations, was still pacing around EnergySolutions Arena as of 11 p.m. trying to finalize the deal.</div>

    Well at least they traded for Fesenko, kid looked cocky as hell in the highlights. Usually those guys tend to have the will to get better, looks insanely athletic too, he's just raw right now. I can see him in three years coming over maybe.
