Live NBA draft chat @ 4:30 p.m.

Apologize for the short notice, but we're hosting a live NBA draft chat starting at 4:30 p.m. today. I'd hoped to attend a few draft parties, but plans fell through. So let's watch the draft together and talk about college basketball, the Pac-12 and Washington Huskies.

We'll track the guys from the conference and delve into Isaiah Thomas' decision to leave school early. In a story on UW's website, the junior explained why he decided to forgo his final year of eligibility.

"With (Abdul) Gaddy coming back and (Tony) Wroten coming in, I wouldn't have been able to showcase my skills as (primarily) a point guard, which is the position I will be playing at the next level," Thomas said. "My stock wouldn't be any higher next year, no matter what I did. A lot of people don't realize all that went into my decision. They just say, `Oh, he should have stayed.' They don't see all the circumstances."

Jerry Brewer wrote a terrific piece today saying Thomas can learn a lot from Sebastian Telfair, another short point guard selected 13th overall in 2004.

Here's a quick rundown of the latest mock drafts: NBAdraft.net, Draft Express, NBA Draft Dept, ESPN and CBSSports.com.

Pac-12-bound Colorado puts its Big 12 banners up for sale

Before completing its long-awaited move to the Pac-12 next season, Colorado must make a clean break with its ex.

That's why the Buffaloes are auctioning each Big 12 school's banner that has hung in the Coors Events Center during Colorado's time in the conference.

For the Big 12 memorabilia buff with a few hundred dollars to burn and plenty of vacant wall space, the banners may be of interest. Each is eight-feet long, custom embroidered and adorned with the school's name and mascot name.

In the market for an Oklahoma State logo banner? So far the top bid is $201. How about a similar Missouri banner? $150. Or Texas Tech? That's available too, perhaps at a cheap price since the Red Raiders haven't attracted any bids yet.

Colorado completed its final Big 12 season in March, settling for a deep NIT run after being one of the final teams left out of the NCAA tournament. Star guard Alec Burks turned pro and backcourt mate Cory Higgins graduated, so the Buffs will likely be in rebuilding mode in their first season in the Pac-12.

It's probably safe to assume the Buffs will have new Pac-12 banners in their arena by the time they open the 2011-12 season. By putting the old Big 12 banners up for sale instead of in storage, maybe they'll earn much of the money needed to pay for the new ones.

Pittsburgh fans get their first look at highly touted Khem Birch

Eager for an early glimpse of the highest-rated hoops recruit ever to sign with Pittsburgh, hundreds of Panthers fans jammed into the Greentree Sportsplex on Monday night to watch forward Khem Birch make his Summer Pro-Am debut.

What they saw was an athletic, high-energy big man more ready to make an impact on defense than offense.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Birch blocked eight shots, including two from future teammate Dante Taylor. Birch also scored a modest four points and grabbed just two rebounds, no surprise considering the McDonald's All-American's defense has always been his greatest strength and up-tempo summer-league games are rarely conducive to big men who want the ball in the post.

"I'm a little nervous to be honest," Birch told the Post-Gazette. "I know what the expectations are and I am ready for them, but I just want to relax and play my game. I want to do the things I am good at and just get better."

How much of an impact Birch can make next season will be one of the most intriguing storylines in the Big East. Birch could make an already versatile Pittsburgh frontcourt flat-out scary if he's Big East-ready, but the Panthers have traditionally succeeded by being the rare junior- and senior-driven program.

Maybe Birch breaks that mold, blossoms as a freshman and opens the door for future McDonald's All-Americans to come to Pittsburgh. Or perhaps it takes a couple years for the 6-foot-9 forward's offense to catch up with his defense and he follows in the footsteps of past Panthers stars who didn't truly shine until they were upperclassmen.

It's silly to draw too many conclusions from a summer-league game, but it was several of Birch's future teammates who flashed the most promise on Monday night.

Sophomore forward Talib Zanna erupted for 28 points and 11 rebounds in his opening Pro-Am game of the summer. And incoming freshman John Johnson tallied 26 points and six assists, displaying impressive 3-point range in the process.
