My heart thinks the Heat will win in 6 games…but my head says the Mavs win in 7…here’s what I wonder:

a) How long it will take for Jason Terry to do something stupid and get ejected…like his punching Michael Finley in the balls, which cost him a 1-game suspension and then the elbow to Nash’s, which somehow did not…

b) How is it that Dwyane Wade is sick or hurt every time it really matters?

c) How is it that Shaq and Dirk rebound get exactly the same number of rebounds and yet Shaq plays 8 fewer minutes per game?

d) How is it that Marquis Daniels is not better?

e) How will the refs call Shaq? Can he turn the corner or will the flopping continue?

f) With Diop and Dampier and even Keith Van Horn, the Mavs have 18 fouls to Hack-a-Shaq…will the Mavs go to this in the 1st quarter?

g) Will the Heat play zone to counteract the Mavs playing Dirk at the centre spot? Shaq will NOT be chasing Dirk to the 3 point line?

h) What’s with Shaq all of a sudden blocking shots again?

i) Who’s going to start for the Heat at the 3 spot? Antoine Walker or James Posey?

j) Who’s going to guard Jerry Stackhouse off the bench?

OK that’s enough for now…let’s see how tonight plays out for answers…

Redick rising like a Rocket - From the NBA's perspective, one of the biggest questions of the college basketball season was this: Will J.J. Redick be a good pro? Can college basketball's Player of the Year become an elite NBA player? Or is he little more than a sharp-shooting role player, like Kyle Korver and Steve Kerr? Scouts have leaned toward the latter all year. Their concerns? His size for a shooting guard, his lack of athleticism, his defensive inadequacies and the one-dimensional nature of his game. But is there a point when you overthink a guy? His success at Duke was so dominant that the question must be asked, if he can do it against the best players in college basketball every night, why can't he do it in the pros? The early word back from workouts in places like Houston, Utah and Boston has been surprisingly positive. Sources with all three teams have said the same thing to me. Redick is better than they thought he would be. He's tested well in the athletic drills teams take him through. His defense has been aggressive in one-on-one sessions. He's shown the ability to create and make his own shot against some of the best college players in the draft. Even a guy who's been scouted and scouted and scouted can surprise folks. "I'm actually not a huge believer in individual workouts," one NBA executive said. "However, I think we learned a lot about that kid and it was all good. In almost every area, including shooting, he was better than we thought. You can watch him in games and see that he can really play. But it wasn't until the workouts that you could really see that he may be able to do some of those same things against NBA athletes. He's not going to be the MVP of the league or anything. But he's going to be a good player in the league." How good? Good enough that Redick appears to be in the conversation with the Celtics at No. 7 and in serious consideration by the Rockets at No. 8. In my first mock draft, I put Redick at No. 8, because he appeared to be a good fit for the Rockets. With Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady getting double-teamed on a nightly basis, Redick should have plenty of wide open jumpers. No one in the draft would be better at hitting them. But after Redick's workout, I think the Rockets see him as a kid who could eventually become the third best player on their team and as a gritty competitor who should be able to step right in and contribute. There's no question the Rockets want to be back in the playoff hunt next season. Besides Redick, Brandon Roy, who's unlikely to slip to No. 8, is probably the only guy in the draft who could play for the Rockets right now. If the Rockets don't take Redick at No. 8, he'll likely go to either the Magic at No. 11 or the Jazz at No. 14. But until I hear differently, I think that 8 might be Redick's magic number.

Adam Morrison had his first workout for an NBA team over the weekend. He flew to Charlotte and worked out against Memphis' Rodney Carney. A source in Charlotte said both worked out well but that it was Morrison who shined. Why? The Bobcats wanted to see him play against a long, athletic player. The question on everyone's mind, much as with Redick, is whether he can continue to get and make his shot at the next level.

Morrison scored time and time again against Carney, prompting Carney to say after the workout, "A lot of people say, 'Oh, Adam can't go one-on-one.' Adam can go one-on-one. He is a very fierce competitor. He will make shots and is a very offensive-minded guy and will get down and score on you. I have nothing but good things to say about Adam." From everything I'm hearing, the Bobcats were leaning toward Rudy Gay over Morrison before the workout. Do they still feel the same way now?

The hot rumor here at the pre-draft camp is that UConn's Josh Boone decided to keep his name in the draft after receiving a promise from the New York Knicks that they'd draft him in the first round if he were still on the board. Boone announced on Monday that he was hiring an agent and ending his college eligibility. Remember, Knicks president Isiah Thomas gave a promise to a somewhat similar player, Arizona's Channing Frye, last season. The Knicks have two first-round picks this year, No. 20 and No. 29.

In our ongoing Marcus Williams weight watch, IMG trainer Joe Abunassar told us that Williams is now down to 212 and will be 210 when he weighs in at the physicals on Saturday. Abunassar has been flying to L.A. to help train Williams and said that he's now in the best shape of his life.
"Is he the most athletic kid in the draft? No." Abunassar asked. "But he's quicker than people think. Marcus has lots of speeds and he knows when to use them. Watch him at UConn. People had trouble staying in front of him on the defensive end. He really knows how to play and when you know how to play, your game becomes more efficient and you find ways to take advantage of the defense."

High risers Johnson, Diaz impress -- Patrick O'Bryant, Cedric Simmons, Kyle Lowry and Thabo Sefolosha are high-level sleepers in the draft, as discussed earlier. O'Bryant, in fact, might merit consideration as the No. 1 pick. The pair of prospects I saw later on Monday are also moving up in the draft -- in this case, from the second round to potentially the first round. On Monday in Clearwater, Miami's Guillermo Diaz and Florida State's Alexander Johnson went through a pretty grueling workout with personal coach David Thorpe of the Pro Training Center. Diaz and Johnson entered the draft as second-round picks. But after their stellar workouts all over the country, both now have an excellent shot at landing in the first round, according to NBA GMs. Both players skipped the Orlando pre-draft camp, a sign that their agent, Jason Levian, is confident they'll be selected in the first round. Of the two prospects, Johnson is the more intriguing. He's a 6-foot-9 power forward who's been measured in workouts with a 39-to-40 inch vertical leap. Johnson wasn't much of a prospect at Florida State after his first two years, in large part because of his weight. After his sophomore season, he sought out Thorpe, who had done an amazing job sculpting Udonis Haslem, and asked for help. Thorpe put him on a strict diet and training regimen, and the results were astonishing. Johnson came into Florida State at a chiseled 225 pounds this season and looked like a completely different player. "It was so hard," Johnson said. "I'm from the South. I grew up my whole life eating fried foods. Catfish, chicken, collard greens. Coach showed me what I should be eating. I was like, what, no collard greens?" Johnson salivates with each word. Clearly he loves his food. But his dedication to his game and his body overcame that. What amazed Thorpe was how completely Johnson dove into the new lifestyle. "I spoke with him on a Friday about diet. What he should be eating and what he should avoid," Thorpe remembers. "It was a very preliminary conversation. But a few hours later, Alexander called me on the phone and said, 'Coach Thorpe, I'm at Quizno's and I want to know if I can get cheese on this sandwich.' It was at that point I knew the kid had a chance." Johnson's weight loss has improved his perimeter game remarkably. He is much quicker, runs up and down the floor, can cut to the basket and really gets off the floor now. His game, in many ways, now resembles that of Denver's Kenyon Martin. While Johnson doesn't have Martin's attitude, it doesn't mean that he's not tough. The kid loves to get physical and can bang. Johnson also demonstrated a very solid jump shot for a big guy -- he showed some NBA 3-point range, and was excellent from 12-to-15 feet. He ran many of the same drills that the smaller Diaz did and showed that he can shoot off the dribble or spotting up. He also proved to be in excellent shape. His coach ran the most grueling workout I've seen this spring, and Johnson looked like he could've gone for more. It's not hard to see why teams are intrigued. While it's clear that Johnson still needs more polish offensively and may need to add another five to 10 pounds to play in the post in the NBA, he's one of the few athletic big men that will be available in the second half of the first round -- and he's more NBA-ready than most of the other players in the draft. Where could he go on draft night? The Chicago Bulls had him in for a workout and came away very impressed. They need a player like Johnson at the four and could grab him with the 16th pick if they were to opt for Brandon Roy instead of Tyrus Thomas with the second pick. The New Jersey Nets, picking No. 22 and No. 23, might be interested in Johnson, too. They have been looking for a Martin replacement ever since he left, and Johnson looks like he'd be great in their up-tempo offense. The Cavs at No. 25 and the Suns at No. 27 are also options. Diaz is just as impressive on the floor. He's an elite athlete who has been said to have had a 50-inch vertical in high school. Diaz says it isn't true. "But it was close," he says with a smile. Diaz was once one of the best young volleyball players in the world, but he switched to basketball his senior year of high school. In the short span of three years, he's proven to be an explosive scorer at Miami. Now he's trying to prove to NBA scouts that he's got what it takes to make the next big transition -- to point guard. As I've written before, it's very difficult to show point guard skills in a workout. Diaz showed good ball-handling and excellent quickness in the workout. When he gets to the hoop, he really flies to the basket. More impressive in a way is his jump shot. Diaz hasn't been pegged as a great shooter in college, in large part because of a questionable shooting percentage. His workout made clear that Diaz is a much better shooter than previously thought, and feedback from a number of NBA workouts has backed that up. The problem for Diaz at Miami was shot selection rather than shooting form. His shooting ability shouldn't be an issue at the next level. Diaz is in fantastic shape and seems to have shed a few pounds as well. At Miami, he played on rehabbed knee all year and didn't show some of the explosiveness everyone expected. However, that problem appears to be a thing of the past. He looks like the old Diaz again. "He's a very quiet guy, but he's the straw that stirs the drink," Thorpe said. "He's the guy who settles everything. He's got a great rapport with the other players. He's a motivator. He tries to make everyone better. He's always resolving conflicts. He's a leader. He's breathing spirit into the hearts and minds of others." The two big issues for Diaz are position and experience. It's going to be difficult to prove to teams that he's a point guard -- a position he never played in college -- in workouts. Given that he's measuring about 6-1 in shoes, he's small for a combo guard. Diaz was planning on playing at the pre-draft camp in Orlando to show off his handle. However, he couldn't get a promise from the pre-draft camp administrators that he would get a chance to play the point. He might not need to. "In our league these days, you need guys who can get to the basket, and either score a bucket or get to the foul line," one NBA GM told Insider. "You also need a kid who can step back and hit an open jumper. I think the league has evolved. Guys like Diaz couldn't have played in the league six or seven years ago. Today, I think teams need guys like Diaz." Scouts also worry about his basketball IQ. It's not that Diaz lacks smarts, it's just that he's behind on basketball development. He's played top-level hoops for only three years. He sometimes gets confused by complex defenses. He hasn't learned some small things, like keeping his head up when he ball-fakes and getting the ball into his shooting hand before he rises for a jumper off the dribble. Such problems can be fixed, but Diaz is less ready to contribute now than some other players in the draft. Right now Diaz has earned very positive buzz from workouts in Phoenix, Sacramento, Minnesota and Houston. The Lakers are also fans. He's got a number of chances to land in the first round. If he slips into the second round, he's probably one of the first players off the board.

10 to watch at the Orlando NBA pre-draft camp - The first-ever Orlando pre-draft camp opened on Tuesday to a chorus of boos from NBA executives. Many at the Milkhouse here at Disney's Wide World of Sports called it the worst pre-draft camp ever. Why the dour faces? Moving the event from GM-friendly Chicago to kid-friendly Orlando was a major topic of conversation. But what really bothered them was a perceived lack of talent here. Of the 62 players here, only one, UCLA's Jordan Farmar, is rated as a first-rounder in Insider's Mock Draft. And 15 players ranked No. 31 or lower in Insider's Top 100 chose not to play. Two players, Texas' Daniel Gibson and Cal's Leon Powe, pulled out of the camp on Tuesday.
Thirteen other players not currently ranked by Insider as first-rounders also took a pass. They include Pittsburgh's Aaron Gray, Colorado's Richard Roby, UConn's Josh Boone, Cincinnati's James White, Michigan State's Paul Davis, West Virginia's Mike Gansey, Illinois' Dee Brown, Nevada's Nick Fazekas, Arizona's Hassan Adams, UCLA's Arron Afflalo, UCLA's Ryan Hollins and West Virginia's Kevin Pittsnogle. Another, Texas' P.J. Tucker, was unable to play because of injury. Add in a number of international players who are elsewhere because of team commitments or visa issues, along with the 30 players ranked in the first round, and there are roughly 50 draft-eligible players who aren't playing in Orlando. That leaves about 10 draft spots for the 62 players who are here. The lack of talent at the camp led to some frank dialogue among executives at the league's competition meeting here on Monday. Several executives told Insider that there was discussion about potentially dumping the draft camps altogether because of the number of top players who refuse to play in them. Other executives argued that NBA teams should do away with individual workouts, forcing prospects to play in front of everyone if they want to be drafted. Others argued for the elimination of private workouts, meaning that any team that has a workout must notify and invite every other team in the league to attend. "The system is broken," one NBA GM told Insider. "We've got to do something. No decisions were made because, frankly, no one can agree how to fix it. The only thing we agree on is that the system as it stands is broken." Don't buy into all of the pessimism, however. There are a number of players here who could make a NBA roster. It speaks to the depth of this year's draft that, even with 50 players not here, I could easily come up with 10 players who could work their way up the draft charts with a great camp and another 20 who could be second rounders. Who will NBA GMs be watching? Insider polled a dozen executives to get the names of the players they're most interested in.

Jordan Farmar, PG, UCLA - Not only is Farmar the best prospect in the camp, he's the best one to play in a pre-draft camp in a while. Farmar is a pure point guard who led UCLA to the NCAA championship game. He's ranked by many NBA teams as the second- or third-best point guard in the draft. So why is he here? Because he's still unsure whether he's staying in the draft and wants to get all the information he can. If he plays well (scouts want to see him shoot the ball better and defend), he could move himself up the draft board. If he stinks, he'll be able to return to UCLA and work on his game. Either way, Farmar wins.

James Augustine, PF, Illinois - In a draft devoid of athletic bigs outside of the lottery, Augustine will be watched closely by executives. His numbers were never impressive at Illinois, but he always was overshadowed by Illinois' fantastic guards. The same thing could happen here in Orlando -- big men rarely fare well here because the guards dominate the ball. However, if he can show a little offense to go along with his nonstop motor and excellent athleticism, he could rise.

Will Blalock, PG, Iowa State - I've been slowly warming to Blalock all year, but it wasn't until last week at a workout in Chicago that I came away convinced that he could be an NBA player. Blalock has the right combination of court vision, athleticism, offensive skills and length to be a good point guard in the pros. And he really can defend. He could have a Luther Head-type rise if he plays well.

Bobby Brown, G, Cal-State Fullerton - Brown is in a similar situation to Blalock's. He is athletic, can score the ball and should look great in these types of showcases. Several teams already have come away impressed with his workouts. If he can show teams here that he's a true point guard, and not just a two guard in a point guard's body, he, too, has a shot of sneaking into the first round.

Paul Millsap, PF, Louisiana Tech - The guy led the NCAA in rebounding for three straight years, so why aren't more NBA people impressed? The early reports from his workouts were that he was not in great shape and he struggled. He also is going to measure short and isn't the best athlete in the world. However, when Millsap is on, he's got the chance to be, at the very least, a Reggie Evans-type of player in the pros. All he needs to do is gather a ton of rebounds against the better competition here in camp and the buzz will follow.

Allan Ray, SG, Villanova - Next to Farmar, Ray might be the best player here. He's a very good shooter and an excellent athlete who can score off the dribble. He's undersized to play the two in the pros, but with the new rule changes, we're starting to see players like Ray excel. If he can show a good handle and good shot selection here, he'll get some buzz.

Darius Washington, G, Memphis - Washington was once ranked as the second-best high school point guard in the country behind Sebastian Telfair. However, after two solid seasons for Memphis, his stock actually has dropped. Washington is strong, quick and athletic and he knows how to score. However, scouts see him as a 6-1 shooting guard, the second coming of Dajuan Wagner. He's going to have to resist the urge to drop 25 on one of these teams and settle for a few 10-assist games if he wants to move up.

Brad Newley, SG, Australia - Newley is a big-time scorer from Australia who won the NBL All-Star MVP award his rookie year. He's a good shooter, but what will surprise some people is his toughness and his ability to get to the basket. The big question for Newley -- how will he adjust to the speed and athleticism in the U.S. game?

Taj Gray, PF, Oklahoma State - Gray was pegged as a potential first-round prospect for most of the year. He's a good athlete who plays a coveted position. His biggest problem? Scouts expected him to be a lot more dominant than he ended up being this season. His numbers actually slipped a little bit from those of his junior season. Still, if Florida State's Alexander Johnson is getting first-round buzz, why can't Gray get some? His measurements might mean a lot more than how he plays on the floor.

Curtis Stinson, G, Iowa State - The guy had a great year. His scoring and assists were both impressive, but not impressive enough to convince scouts that he's a point guard at the next level. If he gets to play point here (unfortunately, he's been placed on the same roster with former teammate Blalock and another hot shot point guard, Gerry McNamara), he could really help his stock. But right now, it looks like he'll be stuck at the two. Sometimes you have to wonder what the camp organizers are thinking. Every NBA guy in the gym wants to see Stinson at the one.

Others to watch: Solomon Jones, F/C, South Florida; Steven Smith, SF, LaSalle; Marcus Slaughter, F, San Diego State; Pops Mensah-Bonsu, F, George Washington; Steve Novak, F, Marquette; David Noel, F, North Carolina; Morris Almond, G/F, Rice; Eric Hicks, F, Cincinnati; Dwyane Mitchell, G, Louisiana-Lafayette; Matt Haryasz, F, Stanford; Renaldo Balkman, F, South Carolina; Tedric Hill, F, Gulf Coast CC; Chris Quinn, PG, Notre Dame; Louis Amundson, F, UNLV; Bobby Jones, F, Washington; Viktor Keirou, G, Russia; Sean Dockery, G, Duke; Brandon Bowman, F, Georgetown; Denham Brown, G/F, UConn; Rashad Anderson, G, UConn; Daniel Horton, G, Michigan; J.P. Batista, F/C, Gonzaga

2) Andy Katz of ESPN.com with some draft opinions:

Farmar, Washington want to prove first-round worth

This is the deal with the NBA predraft camp: If you're here playing, you're likely not a lock for the first round. The NBA teams know it. The players know it. The agents know it. The college coaches hoping for the return of their underclassmen know it. Those players who haven't signed with an agent can spin it all they want about playing against the top competition, but the reality is they are here to play themselves into the first or, in some cases, second rounds. So on Tuesday night, in the first scrimmage of the four-day camp, two highly recognized sophomore point guards -- who would like to stay in the draft but are uncertain they should -- faced off. UCLA's Jordan Farmar and Memphis' Darius Washington Jr. have until June 18 to decide if they'll stay in the draft. They should know much more about where they stand by the end of the week. Not much can be discerned by Tuesday's brief scrimmage, in which neither stood out in a game that was much more of a feeling-out process with their respective teams. That left them to address the question of why they're here. "I don't know yet," Washington said about what he'll do, which is surprising given that, for weeks, he was considered to be as good as gone. "If [the feedback is] not what I want to hear, then I'll do pros-and-cons with my parents, but right now I'm very much open. Coach Cal said go full speed ahead, but I'll always have a home in Memphis if it doesn't work out."
So far, Washington has worked out only for Houston. He'll put himself in front of more teams on Wednesday when he participates in a workout during a camp break with UConn's Rashad Anderson, Denver's Yemi Nicholson and Bradley's Patrick O'Bryant. O'Bryant is the only one of those four who isn't participating in the predraft camp. Washington said he understands he has to show that his athleticism, his shooting ability and overall decision-making is better than perceived "I want to go through this," Washington said. "They invited me, so I wanted to come. Some people didn't get an invite. I'm blessed to get one." Washington said he is protecting his amateurism by having his father act as his "agent." He said if any team wants to talk to him, they go through his father. "He's keeping everything documented, and if [the NCAA] wants to see anything, he'll be happy to pull it out," Washington said. Washington already is leaning on Pitt senior Carl Krauser for advice. Krauser went through the predraft camp a year ago, didn't stand out and decided to return to Pitt. "If he has a guarantee to be in the second round, then I would advise him to come out, but if it's shaky, then he should go back to school and get a better relationship with his coaches and the other players that he might not be as comfortable with," Krauser said. A guarantee for the second round? Is there such a thing? Not exactly, since the second round doesn't provide guaranteed money. Farmar is considered a lock to be in the second round. If he were a lock for the first, then he probably wouldn't be here, either.
Farmar said he doesn't just want to hit a number in the first round. He wants to be in a good situation. The problem with that is he might not know for sure if he's at the bottom of the first round. Getting a guarantee from teams picking in the Nos. 20-30 range is dicey, since a more highly regarded player can easily tumble down, making that guarantee hard to keep. Farmar is in a tougher situation than most players because he's still in school. He had to drop down to two classes to become a part-time student, because under NCAA rules a player cannot work out for teams or at the predraft camp while a full-time student. This usually affects only those players who are at quarter-system schools, like UCLA. Farmar said he has papers due at the end of the week, and "when I'm not playing ball, I'm hitting the books and working on my laptop." He said he is taking education and history classes, adding "I've got to do well if I decide to come back." Farmar said money for travel isn't an issue for his family. He said they took care of the expenses for a workout in New Jersey. He also worked out for the hometown Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers. "My family is looking at this as an investment, and if it doesn't work out this year, then I can gain from the experience," Farmar said. Farmar clearly is on the fence. He said he did what he wanted to do, which was help UCLA restore its program to an elite level "40 minutes from a national championship. That's what I wanted to do when I came here, and the odds of getting there again are very tough." That's why Farmar said he was shocked that the Florida sophomores -- Joakim Noah, Al Horford and Corey Brewer -- all decided to stay in school after winning the title.
"That surprised me," Farmar said. "But it shows that money isn't everything. They're having fun and enjoying their teammates, and that's what it's all about." Farmar's backcourt mate, Arron Afflalo, wasn't invited to the predraft camp but still hasn't officially withdrawn from the draft. Getting snubbed here doesn't necessarily mean an automatic withdrawal, as players like Arkansas' Olu Famutimi didn't get an invite last year and still stayed in the draft. If Afflalo and Farmar both return, the Bruins will be in play for the national title again. UCLA assistant coach Kerry Keating was in the stands Tuesday night. Clearly, the Bruins are keeping an eye on this developing situation. A Memphis coaching representative also might be here this week, as Washington's chances of returning suddenly have increased simply with his being here. With three days of scrimmages forthcoming, both Farmar and Washington will try to prove they belong in the first round. Just don't forget that they're here because they have no guarantee.
