jem's post raises an interesting question for everyone:
How many of you do serious preparation for the draft? For my part, all I do is write down a few names of players that I'd like to have, sort of as a reminder of "oh, and if this guy is available, you want to get him." They're a lot of the usual candidates: Richard Jefferson, Shane Battier, Tayshaun Prince - a rookie or two, along with a few folks whose situation has changed for the better year-over-year (Elton Brand, T.J. Ford, etc.). The big ones are usually "player Y was a bench player last year, but will be a starter for a different team this year." That's about all the real preparation I do, aside from talking with Skander and Caleb. I don't do any practice drafts, or put a lot of thought into who will go where.
I don't really see a great benefit into spending tons upon tons of time "preparing."
