Gary McCann of The Herald breaks down the 2001 NBA Draft, reporting that it was an unusual one (referring to four high schoolers and one foreigner being taken in the top 10).  He also reports, with a High Schooler going first overall this year and three High Schoolers going in the top four picks (the other being a foreigner), that there will be more High Schoolers skipping college after Kwame Brown went #1 - opting for the dollars rather than the college experience.

'The top two picks and three of the top four in this year's draft were high school kids. More and more high school players will think they, too, can make the leap to big bucks instead of trying at least a couple of years in college. More and more will choose the lure of the quick dollar over the long-term security of a college education.' writes McCann.
