Duke claims NBA's best alumni class.

That's right, Mike Krzyzewski has done the previously unthinkable -- produce elite NBA talent. Not only is Coach K exceeding UNC's pro production, his proteges are improving once in the pros, a trademark of the NBA players schooled in the "Carolina Way" by Dean Smith....

During the 2006-07 NBA season, Duke had more players in the league than UNC (13 to 12), more starters (seven to five), and since 1997 has sent more first-round picks than the Tar Heels (12 to eight).

As for tonight's draft...I'll miss most of it while I'm at RFK covering the D.C. United game (which is on ESPN! Look for me on the endlines in a white hat).

The best rumor I've heard today? Last night Seattle offered Ray Allen to Boston for Theo and the fifth pick. Sign me up.
