Test Your Mock Draft Skills, Take Over My Blog
By Marcus Thompson
Thursday, June 28th, 2012 at 3:10 pm in Uncategorized.
Here is your chance to show your draft studness. Post your prediction of the first 14 picks of the 2012 NBA draft in the comments section. Whoever gets the most right will win a rare opportunity — I’ll let you write a Warriors/NBA-related post on my blog (and promote it as if it were my own). One point for each correct pick. In the event of a tie, each will get his or her own post.
You game?
