Apparently not. Go here http://www.nba.com/draft2005/index.html
and look at the top where it says "Draft Countdown".....8 minutes.

Having trouble believing that Charlie V. went to Toronto --- I have trouble seeing him succeed at SF in the NBA, and with Bosh already in a Raptors' uniform, that just seems to be a wasted pick at this point.
I wonder if Channing Frye will be able to hold his own at C in the NBA --- seems a little high for him to go to the Knicks, but he does have some skills they can definitely use.
Disappointed in Charlotte's pick at this point --- they needed scoring in the worst way, and I don't know right off the top of my head who would be a better fit from the draft, but I just don't see Felton as a game-changing PG. Bobcats may have something lined up outside the draft to get a #1 scoring option, though.
As for Bogut going #1, I have a soft spot for Milwaukee (and as such, the Bucks), and I'd like to see him succeed for them. But from his clips, I just don't see that he has the athleticism to really work out extremely well as an NBA center. The number 1 pick isn't supposed to be a guy who averages 15 ppg and 10 rpg, but I think people in Milwaukee would breathe a sigh of relief if he put up those type of numbers consistently. Besides, if the Nets had to live with those numbers from Kenyon Martin, why should the Bucks get the breaks.

OK, now the Bobcats take May as their PF. I guess they didn't do so well in ticket sales last year (or I guess I presume they didn't do so well), but taking Felton AND May is a bit odd. One, they have Okafor, who did pretty well for himself at the PF spot (and who I don't think is a guy that will do as well at the C). Now they get a guy who *may* be a little on the small side height wise for a NBA PF. Again, they probably have some trades that they are thinking about down the line, and Felton and/or May could be good tradeable assets right away (and even if one of them is moved, there's still another UNC guy in uniform for next year).
As do I. Damn good backup though, or a much much cheaper option than Peja if we move him.
All three guys STILL slipping. Starting to get a little excited, although would not shock me if teams started to snap them up now just because they can't pass up the opportunity no matter what their plans were before.

Darn. There goes my secret hope - that for whatever reason Sean May would still be available.
