If someone with an ESPN insider subscription wants to "share", thats fine...as long as it's only a snippet or two (i.e. regarding the Kings) and not a cut-and-paste of the whole article. Thats a no-no.
Considering he got like 5 mock drafts wrong, maybe we should go with someone else's analysis?

here's the kings
19 Sacramento Quincy Douby 6-3 175 SG Rutgers
Here's a pretty big surprise. The Kings have missed Bobby Jackson and needed a guy who can shoot and penetrate. But given that they drafted Kevin Martin and Francisco Garcia the last two years, I'm surprised that Douby is the guy. He's not a point guard so he's not going to back up Mike Bibby. I thought they'd go big with a player like Alexander Johnson or a guy who can play the point full-time like Rajon Rondo.

20 New York (via Nuggets) Renaldo Balkman 6-7 206 SF South Carolina
Renaldo Balkman? He plays with great energy and is a great athlete, but he averaged fewer than 10 points per game at South Carolina. No other team would've taken him in the first round. He has no skills other than running the floor -- think of a poor man's Darius Miles. He would've been a decent second round pick -- a guy who might have made a roster. Wow.
29 New York (via Spurs) Mardy Collins 6-6 224 PG Temple
Mardy Collins? He doesn't have a position, is a below average NBA athlete, and he can't shoot. And he's the Knicks' sixth combo guard. Let's just get it over with -- Isiah's getting an "F."

Yeah, that was worth a $40 subscription.
I hope Musselmann doesn't get wind of this. I can hear the conversation now:
"Sorry, Quincy. I was planning on having you spell Bibby and be a sparkplug off the bench for us the way Bobby Jackson used to, but Chad Ford says you're not a Point Guard, so you can't back Bibby. Oh, well."

didn't pay anything, i asked someone else to copy/paste it for me on another board, i'm just sharing with your guys
Collins can shoot, no not a good athlete. Collins doesn't have a position because he's a versatile player and a combo guard. How about mentioning his defense, point skills, feel for the game, and solid scoring ability. Jesus, Ford....
I thought this guy was moving to Cali to become a scientist or something?
