Not WAC-related but...

Came across this stat in the latest issue of SLAM: "Len Bias died 25 years ago ... Bias' lottery class included substance abuse casualties William Bedford, Roy Tarpley and Chris Washburn."

Wow.

This is reminiscent of the days of drafting using a copy of Street & Smith. Astute judging of talent includes a holistic look at the individual, or should. It's true this isn't a science but we're talking millions of dollars going off the ledger and up the nose with a faulty selection.
