Brandon Knight surprised a lot of people when he declared that he would keep his name in the 2011 NBA Draft. Knight is a very smart, talented basketball player, but many believe there is still a lot of room for Knight to develop as a true point guard. Even with that in mind, Knight is […]

Sharp shooter Shelvin Mack from Butler has placed his name into the 2011 NBA Draft player pool and will not be returning to school for his senior season. Instead, Mack is deep into the process of interviewing agents, narrowing down the group of potential suitors to three: Octagon, The Neustadt Group, and ASM Sports. The three […]
When the San Diego State Aztecs were making a run in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, I predicted that the talented Kawhi Leonard was likely to leave after his Sophomore season and enter the 2011 NBA Draft. SDSU does not have a deep alumni base of professional basketball players, but a few big agencies including Excel […]
Potential #1 overall selection in the 2011 NBA Draft, Kyrie Irving, has officially signed with an agent, and it is not a name you might guess on your first try. In fact, you may not even get it right after your fifth try. Irving has selected Jeffrey Wechsler of 24/7 Sports Management as his agent. […]
This has to be the least hyped NFL Draft in quite some time. There is more focus surrounding what is going down in the courtroom in Minnesota than what is transpiring in New York City. Our thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by the terrible weather in the Southeast. Thank G-d Passover is done. I […]
Travel, travel, travel…it’s all I seem to do lately. Although after this weekend’s trip to Boston to speak at Suffolk Law School (I’m speaking there tonight), the traveling will settle down for a bit until I head up to Washington D.C. for the Sports Lawyers Association Conference mid-May. I just sat through my first mediation. […]

I also had the opportunity to answer some questions for Marcus Shockley at Basketball Elite regarding a potential NBA Lockout and how it may affect players who are or may enter the […]
[blackbirdpie url=”http://twitter.com/#!/SpearsNBAYahoo/status/53867750778617858″] This is interesting news, as Jason Martin is not listed as the agent for any recent Kansas basketball player who went on to play in the NBA. The Morris twins (Marcus and Markieff) are likely to be selected in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft. Tyler Honeycutt, who is leaving UCLA […]
I am going on a year long trip around the world and will not be posting any updates to this site until 4/1/2012. April Fools? It feels good to have baseball again. It is too bad that the headlines will continue to revolve around the NFL/NFLPA labor dispute. I picked one Final Four team correctly […]
A little over a week ago, I noted that recruiting for the 2011 NBA Draft is heating up. As teams have been getting knocked out of the post-season tournaments, the players who perform for those teams have either declared their intention to enter the NBA Draft or commit to staying at least one more year […]
