I know there’s always some news in the week leading up to the draft; however between Embiid’s foot, the news about Isaiah Austin, Julius Randle’s injury rumours and the continual swirling of trade rumours; is this the most eventful period prior to a draft in history?

 oh by this is the most eventful.  But let’s not forget that all this stuff happens every year but we are in the internet hypermedia age where everything and everyone is "tweeted" and sourced to death every second by outlets you never even heard of. Add to that the fact that nowadays NBA front offices are much more sophisticated (as opposed to say 10-15 years ago) as far as gathering and distributing information and you have a recipe for what we have been witnessing for the past month or so.  Btw y’all I am still a believer in the nba draft adage that you don’t believe at least 99% of what you hear in the last week leading up to the draft. It’s served me well so far.

 Because we are in the social media generation with tweeting and rumor disbursement plus the talent level
