Nevill Hoping to Hear NBA Draft Call
Check out most of the online mock drafts that are floating around out there, and you'd conclude that center Luke Nevill is not going to hear his name called during the NBA Draft next week.

His agent, however, thinks otherwise.

“I would be surprised if he wasn't drafted,” agent Keith Glass said.

While Nevill said he's pretty confident about being a second-round pick — he has worked out for nine teams already, with the Jazz on tap over the weekend — Glass said the draft is too uncertain a proposition to attempt to predict, and that it doesn't matter that much, anyway.

“You can't tell,” he said. “You really can't. You'd have to be inside of the mind of every team in the league in order to really know. I represented Mark Eaton for his whole career, and Mark was the 74th pick in the draft, I think. In other words, he wouldn't have been drafted next week. And I believe his jersey is hanging there somewhere. So to me, the draft is a game and a show. The league has … tried to make it much more important than it really is. So I'm more concerned about [Nevill's] career, which I really feel good about.”
