Interesting article in the Wash Post about the rise and fall of Charles O'Bannon. Of how he went from being the MVP in the Natl Championship game with something like 35 pts and 17 rebs to playing only 2 years in the NBA before calling it quits.
He lasted about a year and half with the Nets who drafted him and half a season with the Mavs. Spent the next 10 years or so playing overseas and now is a car salesman in Nevada.
Combine that story with Phil Jackson saying he and Mitch Kupchack went round and round about drafting Andrew Bynum because he was only 17 and had played a combined total of about 20 high school games.
No matter what any one says the NBA draft and personnel issues are a crapshoot.

Who? What? Why? Why is the Washington Post wasting time with this story? Who cares...
