One Man Mock Draft, Fantasy NBA 2009: Round 1, Pick 2
Happy belated birthday to Magic Johnson, who turned 50 years old on August 14, 2009.

One of my current faves in the NBA today is the next pick. His career thus far has him looking like the next in the line of NBA “point gods” and most would consider him a “1-A” rather than a number two pick.
Round 1, Pick 2: Chris Paul, PG, New Orleans Hornets
