It may not have the in-state star power that the NFL draft had with 7 Sooners or Cowboys selected in the first round, but June 24th’s NBA draft should provide a solid follow up.  Think of Frasier following up Seinfeld on “Must See TV.”  Here are the latest projections from nbadraft.net:10. Pacers                            Xavier Henry                      Kansas  (Putnam City H.S.)15. Bucks                             Ekpe Udoh                         Baylor   (Edmond Santa Fe H.S.)16. Timberwolves            James Anderson              OSU18. Heat                               Daniel Orton                      Kentucky (McGuinness H.S.)33. Kings                              Willie Warren                     OU42. Heat                               Jerome Jordan                  Tulsa47. Bucks                             “Tiny” Gallon                      OUYou toss in the fact that the Thunder will have two picks in the first round and two more in the second and you’ll have the most popular NBA draft sincewelllast year.  When OU’s Blake Griffin went first overall and the Thunder drafted James Harden third.
