Best to get away from college ball whilst ye can. You won't have to worry about VCU anymore.

Have twins ever gone on consecutive picks in any pro draft? That would be weird!

Daniel and Henrik Sedin went 2-3 the year they were drafted...granted, Vancouver made moves to secure those picks to take both at 2 and 3, but they did go in consecutive picks...

What will happen if there's an NBA lockout? I think so far Harrison Barnes hasn't decided to declare for the draft, and neither have Zeller or Henson. The Tar Heels could be well positioned to take a run at the title next year.
