NBA Draft updates

I moved between cnnsi.com, cbssports.com, nba.com, and finally, a chat on seattletimes.com to keep up with the later portion of the draft. Of the first three sites, nba.com was the runaway leader in updating picks quickly, and appeared to be doing so in close to real time. At least I thought so until I stumbled upon a chat with the University of Washington men's basketball reporter, in which the participants were generally hoping for one or more of the eligible Washington players to be drafted late in the second round. As the round continued, and as foreigners no one has ever heard of were drafted, it was clear that while nba.com seemed efficient, they were two or three minutes behind real time, based on the chat I saw. Percy Allen learned of Isaiah Thomas's selection by Sacramento via Twitter first, and the chat came fast and furious when the selection was announced, for a couple of minutes before nba.com was updated, in case anyone is interested.
