Think you can fall asleep once the first round of the NBA Draft is over? Think again.

      Thanks - I hear you about Manu, but Price made the All-NBA team four times while Ginobili just got named to his first. Plus, Price's numbers are a little better. And it's tough to compare two vastly different players like Manu and Rodman, who was one of the best rebounders in the history of the league. Finally, I'm projecting that Boozer and Arenas will continue on their current career path. Manu could still move up - it all depends on just how much you weight the championships.
