Now that we (when I say we I mean Ryan) have done the NBA draft to death with phenomenal coverage that make some of the other sites bow their heads in awe and worship, it’s time to get on with other news.

It looks like it’s three strikes and you are out for Georgia Bulldogs junior guard Billy Humphrey. Georgia Coach Dennis Felton had finally had enough of Humphrey’s shenanigans and dismissed him after his third arrest.

The final nail in the coffin for Humphrey was a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) failure to maintain his lane and the underage purchase of alcohol last week. Humphrey is 20, and whether the rest of you and Humphrey believe it or not, the legal drinking age is still 21.

It was the second time he was busted for underage drinking. In February he was also caught for possession of alcohol after leaving an Athens nightclub.

Humphrey was previously arrested in November of last year for possessing a pocket knife more than two inches long on the University of Georgia campus, which is a felony weapons charge. That was enough for a suspension.

In all seriousness, it looks like Humphrey will have to find another place to play college basketball and it’s too bad. The 6-2, 190 pound junior guard looked like he was coming into his own averaging 12.2 points a game for the Bulldogs last season.

Let’s hope that this is the wake up call that Humphrey needs to straighten himself out, stay out of trouble and away from the booze and weapons before he and/or someone gets seriously hurt.

Through all the NBA Draft hype, I got a message from reader Ransom Marshall who asked me what I thought about IUPUI guard George Hill.

My response was: “I for one like Hill. Is he an NBA prospect? I agree with Ryan [Pravato] and say not this year. I’m not a fan of players from some of the more low-profile schools coming out that early after not really being tested. With another solid year of college under his belt he could be a good role player for an NBA team in 2009-10. I just hope this kid doesn’t end up bouncing around from one D-League team to another next season and we don’t ever hear from him again.”

Marshall responded with: “I think George will be selected in the first round. Call me crazy but also call me if I’m right.”

Shows how much me, Mr. College Basketball Expert with the big time blog knows.

Not only was Hill drafted, but he was the 26th pick by the San Antonio Spurs! None of the other so-called experts had Hill going in the first round or even being drafted at all.

Hill, a 6-2, 181 pound point guard averaged 21.5 points and 6.9 assists a game as a junior was impressive, but was he really impressive enough to go first round?

Apparently Marshall thought so and so did the Spurs. And as the Spurs continue to age, I’m sure they are looking at Hill to be part of the rebuilding and youth movement that will eventually have to take place.

Hill went ahead of another one of my favorites players Mario Chalmers, an all-everything point guard and the hero of the national championship game for Kansas. Chalmers was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves at in the second round at number 34 and was later traded to the Miami Heat.

Now that Marshall has shown us up the least I can do is offer him a free lunch or a cheap dinner. I’m not sure what Ryan has to offer.
