NBA Draft Notes, June 2: Dell Curry? Never Heard of Him

* DraftExpress' Jonathan Givony reports Dallas loves Jordan Hill and could work out a deal with Washington for the No. 5 pick.

* Hasheem Thabeet discusses the difficult transition from soccer to basketball with The Baseline's Sean Deveney.

* More from The Baseline, this time reported by the incomparable Chris Littmann: one team exec who interviewed Stephen Curry at the Chicago combine asked the guard who his father was.

* Ricky Rubio is now the fellow in the Ricky Rubio camp making thinly veiled threats in the general direction of Tennessee.

* Patrick Mills talks to the Sacramento Bee's Jason Jones about his basketball maturity. (That'd be Patty's basketball maturity. Not Jason's.)

* Blog-a-Bull's Matt, who isn't exactly known for being a fan of John Paxson draft M.O. of taking hustle players from glamor programs, endorses a Tyler Hansbrough selection.

* Marquette's Jerel McNeal compares himself to Jason Terry.

* Spanish forward prospect Victor Claver has re-signed with his ACB club Pamesa Valencia, which would seem to ensure he'll be drafted between No. 31-36 instead of the late first round.
