Tonight's NBA Draft looks more like a formality than anything else.
The LA Clippers -- the league's most hapless franchise -- shouldn't need any time deciding who's going to be their next centerpiece. The moment the draft starts, Blake Griffin should start trudging toward the podium, knowing that his days of celebrating wins will suddenly come to a screeching halt.
The Clips have been so bad, they've only advanced to the playoffs four times since 1985, and in that span they've only been above .500 three times.
Michael Jackson's cardiac arrest will get more shock and awe than tonight's draft, which scouts and analysts have declared skimpy on talent.
The Clippers will do the obvious thing, but with point guard-heavy draft like Ty Lawson among others, I wouldn't be surprised to see another Chris Paul or Deron Williams resurface.
