Comin' up short

Elmo: "Your crossover is garbage, don't go into the draft."

Ah, the NBA Draft. It's so close I can taste it. It may be our favorite sporting event every year, even though no one is doing anything athletic. All sorts of hilarious "upside potential" references, and the word "length" is used repeatedly in a rather strange context. Plus Dwyermaker and I always love to take bets on which lottery pick will crash and burn the fastest. I can't wait.

While we're excited, and so will the 60 guys that are picked on draft day, every year people go undrafted for all sorts of interesting reasons. Like selling cocaine as a kid, or being deaf, or just flat out sucking. There are also plenty of guys who seem to stupidly believe they can cut it in the pros when they desperately need a few more years of college ball under their belts.

To help prepare you to recognize these guys, The Feed has compiled a list of players that seem to have had a serious brain cramp when they put their names into this year's NBA Draft. Our favorite is a draft expert talking about a guy coming out of junior college named Robert Earl Johnson.

• "I've heard of Robert Johnson and Robert Earl Keen" said the expert. "But I've never heard of Robert Earl Johnson, which probably isn't a good sign."

No it isn't, it definitely isn't.
