The Mavs take Nick Fazekas at #34. Big Baby Glen Davis goes to the Celtics at #35 (part of the Ray Allen trade). Bilas said he fluctuates in weight and "is a lot like Oprah in that regard." This prompted Tirico to admit he and Mark Jackson watched Oprah in the car on the way to the draft. Jackson looked less than thrilled.
Golden State takes Jermareo Davidson from Alabama, Portland takes Josh McRoberts and buys the rights to Petteri Koponen from Philly. The Sixers then take Kyrylo Fesenko from Ukraine. Stanko Barac goes 39th to Miami, first time the Heat have drafted from overseas. This was the compensation pick for Stan Van Gundy accepting the Magic position. Stan for Stanko seems fair. Sun Yue goes 40th to the Lakers. Tirico tells us Yue's "favorite rapper is Usher." Odd, I always thought of Ursh as a crooner, but who am I to question Mike Tirico.

I'm a sports reporter who most recently covered Syracuse University football for Clear Channel Syracuse (620 WHEN & 570 WSYR).
I attended SUNY Oswego where I majored in Broadcasting-
Mass Communications. I was also the Voice of the Lakers (VOTL) from 2007-2009 on 88.9 FM WNYO Oswego. It was during this time that I created this blog, then known as the WNYO Sports Blog. Upon leaving Oswego, I took the blog with me. I am a supporter of SU & Oswego State Athletics, as well as the New York Yankees, NY Giants, and NY Rangers. The VOTL.com is also simulcast on Bleacher Report.
