.... other than Mike Cranston, I'm following 2 ESPN guys, but I'm looking for any others that are more than rumor-mongers and have pretty solid "sources" and/or early info. The next 72 hours are gonna be exciting and I would love to stay in the loop. Please and thank you :biggrin:

Well first of all......me. @jessediebolt

Expect 1000s.....actually millions of Draft related tweets.


Other than that I recommend: @mikecranston1 @chadfordinsider @sam_amick @TheRocketGuy

Ok guys, stop with the self gratification. He's looking for hoops experts.

oh ok, cause I was gonna say @KevinKathrotia is definitely NOT a draft expert.




although he has been known to tweet entertaining shit during drafts

I usually just go to the ESPN NBA page and they have their most recent tweets from basically all their guys. I'm sure other sites have similar stuff. Usually works pretty well and I don't have to clutter up my own page with a lot of tweets about who's working out in Cleveland that day.

Swedd, I gratify myself constantly, like I have carpel tunnel, so I'd follow @therobertogato, @bigcatbobcat and @mustachiogato. Spears, Hollinger, Woj at Yahoo, Ken Berger at CBS, Broussard, there are so many, I don't know. I rarely get inside info myself. No one at the Observer is on twitter, Cranston by definition is a reporter, Richard Walker from the Gaston Gazette is on there but he covers everything from Legion baseball to Belmont Abbey Bobcats is like a side deal for him. I don't think we have any real insiders...sadly.

You can also just use a Twitter search so you only get Bobcat related posts.
