The insanity begins: Just for the record, there's no - that's none, nada,
zip - comparison between Andrew Bynum and O'Neal. When O'Neal entered the
NBA in 1992, he weighed 300 pounds - with 9% body fat. Even when Bynum
trimmed down to 300 and began to happen this spring, nine teams passed on
him before the Lakers took him with their first pick. At this point, he
resembles Curry a lot more than O'Neal.. Prep guard Gerald Green turned the
draft upside down, single-handedly. Portland at No. 6 debated between him
and Martell Webster, whom they took, to the end. When Green dropped into the
teens, the Trail Blazers tried to trade for Boston's No. 18 pick to take
Green too, but the Celtics wanted him..
Memphis' Jerry West, drafting No. 19, had Green No. 3 on his board and
watched with growing excitement as he dropped toward the Grizzlies - only to
be taken one pick before them. West settled for Hakim Warrick but was so
deflated, he told the local press: "I really don't have anything to say."
