Creative Genius: Speedingtime ... Seattle Times: Jon Brockman chat ... The Times reports Brockman will earn a modest $3 million over his three year contract, chump change compared to the dollars we've gotten used to seeing this summer.

It was first round bubble day at the Cousins Center, as Xavier SG Jordan Crawford, South Florida combo guard Dominique Jones, and Seattle big man Charles Garcia headlined the Bucks' second day of draft workouts.
