Default Chad Ford's mock draft. Picks 1-30, guess who made the list?

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2...t&lid=tab1pos1

TP comes in at pick #30 with Ford predicting Danny Ainge will make him a Celtic. Ford says something to the effect of "he'll never be a star in the NBA but he could be serviceable."

Trent Plaisted = Greg Kite with less acne and a lower basketball IQ?

Plaisted is a lot more athletic than Kite but worse at defense.

Sounds like maybe you know the Kites, so question for you -- what has Greg done since his playing days? Based on his salary info from this site:

http://www.basketball-reference.com/.../kitegr01.html

he made ~$6 mil over his career, which after taxes and living expenses probably wasn't quite enough for him to retire. I've wondered if he got into coaching.

I ran into Greg's brother at a couple of actuarial functions. We have similar job descriptions (IT-related actuarial work). I don't know anything about Greg's post-career life.

I do know that not very much of that money went to Sister Kite, his mother.
