My NBA Mock Draft By: Brady Cole, grade 7 There is an NBA draft every year that introduces teenagers and some young adults get drafted to their dream job, playing basketball for millions of dollars a year. There is a draft lottery, so these teams know exactly which pick they get. Then, a week after, the players that declared to be drafted, there is an NBA combine. The NBA combine is where players measure height, weight, body fat, that stuff. Then they do drills and they go through those and then they have a 5 on 5 scrimmage. The teams get the players’ info, and can decide to schedule workouts with them. In the upcoming weeks, these guys can decide whether to go back to college, or go into the draft. There is a 3 week span where NBA teams can trade their picks, and then the draft begins.

An indispensable classic that defines the indefinable.” –John Zorn “Chusid takes us through the musical looking glass to the other side of the bizarro universe, where pop spelled back- wards is . pop? A fascinating collection of wilder cards and beyond-avant talents.” –Lenny Kaye Irwin Chusid “This book is filled with memorable characters and their preposterous-but-true stories. As a musicologist, essayist, and humorist, Irwin Chusid gives good value for your enter- tainment dollar.” –Marshall Crenshaw Outsider musicians can be the product of damaged DNA, alien abduction, drug fry, demonic possession, or simply sheer obliviousness. But, believe it or not, they’re worth listening to, often outmatching all contenders for inventiveness and originality. This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure, and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies. Irwin Chusid is a record producer, radio personality, journalist, and music historian. He hosts the Incorrect Music Hour on WFMU; he has produced dozens of records and concerts; and he has written for The New York Times, Pulse, New York Press, and many other publications. $18.95 (CAN $20.95) ISBN 978-1-55652-372-4 51895 9 781556 523724 SONGS IN THE KEY OF Z Songs in the Key of Z THE CURIOUS UNIVERSE OF O U T S I D E R MUSIC ¥ Irwin Chusid Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Chusid, Irwin.
