The NBA Draft is Thursday – does anybody care?

So the NBA draft is Thursday and I couldn’t care less. Am I the only one? I’ve always believed that the NBA is a flawed league. Great teams are built around a singular great player, maybe two. Everyone else is generally extra parts. You don’t generally get great players unless you’re drafting really early. Yeah Kobe was drafted 13th (Charlotte/New Orleans has got to rue the day. Kobe for Vlade Divac?) I just don’t see the draft having a major impact on the Sixers chances for next year. I hope I’m wrong, but big impact will have to do with Eddie Jordan, signing Andre Miller, and replacing Samuel Dalembert – in that order.
