RANDY LEHMER is the winner of the 1998 Draft Prediction Contest.
His win came mainly on the strength of knowing who would and who 
wouldn't be drafted.  His only miss was Bakari Hendrix of Gonzaga
who, despite being one of the standouts in a pre-draft camp, was not
selected.  He was also within one pick on three draftees.  Former
champ Bill Dandridge was second.


    There were just a few exact picks:


    Mike Bibby (#2) - Ben Browdy, Tom Jenney
    Michael Dickerson (#14) - Ed Betanzos, Bill Dandridge
    Jelani McCoy (#33) - Barry Beck
    Sean Marks (#44) - Kevin Smith


   The easiest pick was Mike Bibby (15/16 within one) and the toughest
was J.R. Henderson (1/16 within ten). 


   Thanks to everyone who participated in all the contests this year.
