Who is Feinstein, and why should an NBA team draft him? Well, he's a 5'8" junior out of Washington University in St. Louis, who happen to be the 2008 Division III National Champions. So why should an NBA team draft him?

Well, they probably shouldn't. Because he doesn't play basketball.

But that didn't stop him from declaring himself eligible for the NBA Draft. He wrote a letter to the NBA, declared, and then filled out the necessary paperwork. That's all it takes. He is in the system and is eligible to be drafted. He documented the whole process here. He's even listed at NBADraft.net, as an "unknown individual."

What's he get out of it? Well, he got to create a nifty little website for himself where he listed his stats (Assists: I Work Alone, and BLK: WHTE). He got an envelope with the NBA logo on it. And he also gets ... well, attention, I suppose, from lonely college basketball bloggers like myself who have nothing else to write about this time of year.

I'm pretty sure he's not the first fellow to do something like this, but I like the lengths he went to, trying to create his own web-based "Draft Feinstein" movement. Still, I wouldn't be at all disappointed if this was the last time someone played this gag.

Gracias, Can't Stop the Bleeding.
