Maybe we shouldn't be surprised by the selection of Josh Harrellson on Thursday night by the New York Knicks with the 45th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Perhaps we should have known all along that the Orlando Magic would select DeAndre Liggins with the 53rd pick when he announced he was leaving Kentucky a year early. After all, it was John Calipari who molded a record five first-round draft picks a year ago, including the diminutive Eric Bledsoe and seldom-used Daniel Orton.
