John Lucas is at it once again, this time not being afraid of a fine. The former Nuggets assistant and NBA coach has been preparing Oak Hill (Va.) Academy senior forward Josh Smith in Houston for his predraft workouts.
The McDonald's All- American has been working on his perimeter shooting against Houston guard Cuttino Mobley and Portland guard Damon Stoudamire.
Smith's agent, Brian Dyke, doesn't think his client will drop past Phoenix's seventh pick.
"I think he is going to rise," Dyke said. "He's a much better skilled player than people think. They think he's raw. I don't think these people in Houston think he's raw."

Apparently fans bought t-shirts just to get them signed by Carmello Anthony after a charity game in Denver. Instead Anthony signed a few before the game began and left shortly after.
Anthony's agent blames the event promoter James "Slim" Cunningham for the mixup.
"My heart goes out to them," Andrews said of the fans, who bought the T-shirts after paying $20 to attend the game. "The promoter should not have done that. Ultimately that's on Carmelo. What he wants to do is rectify the situation."

It’s time to reward Kiki Vandeweghe for the fine job he’s done for the Nuggets, says this Denver Post columnist.
Before the Nuggets fulfill their off-season needs by shopping for a guard and trying to sign Marcus Camby to a new contract, as well as sorting out who their head coach will be next year, Nugget owner Stan Kroenke must take care of Vandeweghe.
At a salary of $750,000 per year, Vandeweghe is one of the lowest-paid GMs in the NBA and he deserves that paycheck to at least be doubled.
