I was checking for some interesting sports bets this weekend and saw that Sportsbook.com had lines for the NBA Draft this week. I’m a sucker for the NBA and NFL drafts and the prop bets are pretty interesting.
Below are the lines from sportsbook.com.

Tyler Hansbrough (North Carolina) – Over/Under Draft Position
Draft Position Over 20.5 (-105)
Draft Position Under 20.5 (-135)
I find a few of these bets to be compelling, with a nice potential upside, but I don’t think I’ll be betting on the NBA Draft. Here is the bet I find most interesting.
2009 NBA Draft – Player to get Drafted First
Tyler Hansbrough (North Carolina) -300
Chase Budinger (Arizona) +200
I’ve been reading a lot about Budinger as the draft closes in and very little about Hansbrough. In the battle of future bench players I think Chase Budinger will be drafted first and will show a nice profit.
