Now you, too, can scout like an NBA general manager.
Most of them no longer scout year-round, catching a local game or a conference tournament before the process spills into the spotlight in the NCAA Tournament that everyone watches and, consequently, gets excited about.
That might or might not be a good thing. The best players stand out in the biggest games. On the other hand, draft lore is replete with hypes in which everyone decides some Adam Morrison is the next coming of Larry Bird.
For better or worse, you can scout along with your local team, making this an exciting time even if your NCAA pool was DOA, like mine.
