No matter what, if you’re picking in the Top 5 of the NBA Draft, everyone connected to the team – executives, coaches, players, fans – expects a future star.Which is why it blows my mind that Nerlens Noel seems is getting so much hype from pundits.Yes, this is one of the weakest drafts (at the top, at least) that we’ve seen in recent memory, a group of talented players without a bonafide superstar. From that perspective, it makes sense that a big man with so much bounce would find this much hype. But athletic potential aside, whatever the scouts are seeing doesn’t make sense. His career at Kentucky was defined by incredible defense, lousy offense and an ACL tear.That’s two huge negatives for one strong positive. And this isn’t about downplaying defense, at which Noel – who led the NCAA with 4.4 blocks per game – was superb. But consider the amount of things that have to go right for Noel to pan out and become the superstar that number one picks kind of have to become to be considered a success: getting over one of the most significant injuries an athlete can endure (the kind that might forever sap his greatest asset: pure athleticism), and developing an offensive game that looked flat, even in an unimpressive SEC. Factor that in with a 206-pound frame (hard to picture Noel going up against Marc Gasol or Tim Duncan and not laughing), and you have enough negatives to roll your eyes whenever anyone tells you that Nerlens Noel deserves the number one billing.There’s no doubt that Noel has the talent to become a successful NBA player. But if you’re a high-picking lottery team, you have to aim higher than the rich man’s Larry Sanders.And with that said, what follows is a mock draft of the first-5 picks in the 2013 NBA Draft. If your team was unfortunate enough to miss the playoffs, be sure to drop your .02 in the comments. 1. Cleveland CavaliersBen McLemore, KansasWhile Cleveland drafted Dion Waiters fourth overall last year, the under-sized Waiters projects more as a sixth-man than a starter. Simply put, any self-respecting playoff team isn’t starting a 6’3” shooting guard.Enter McLemore. Super-duper athletic and possessing one of the wettest shots in college basketball last season, he represents everything you want in an All-Star wing. Pairing McLemore with Kyrie Irving should provide the kind of second-star talent that a player like Kyrie needs. After that, the Cavs can use their ample cap space and the 19th, 31st and 33rd pick to fortify their already-talented roster.And, of course, LeBron James definitely returning will pay dividends. *High-fives Cleveland bros* 2. Orlando MagicTrey Burke, MichiganIf you’re a team like the Magic – trying desperately to re-establish your post-Dwight Howard identity – selecting the best point guard in the draft is a good place to start. Burke gets points against him for a size hovering around 6’0”, but nobody questions his ability to carry an offense, be it through facilitating or shooting. Orlando will be picking in the lottery for at least another year or two, and considering the treasure chest of wing players available in the 2014 draft, grabbing their point guard of the future seems like a smart move. 3. Washington WizardsNerlens Noel, KentuckyConsidering the budding John Wall-Bradley Beal backcourt in D.C., Washington seems like a team well-equipped to wait patiently while Noel develops. Best-case scenario: Noel eases into the season playing behind veterans Emeka Okafor and Nene, starts by Year 2, and provides the kind of tone-setting defense that he is capable of by Year 3, developing alongside Wall and Beal.Fun fact: Washington finished eighth in the league in defense last year. They – theoretically – are working on the culture needed to bring the best out of Noel. 4. Charlotte Bobcats HornetsVictor Oladipo, Indiana Something tells me that the Bobcats will be

Paris Hilton is certainly not what comes to mind when one thinks of great recording artists. Nevertheless, the heiress is scheduled to release her “long-anticipated” second studio album on none other than Birdman’s Cash Money Records. According to Roger Friedman of Popdust, the former reality television star talked about the theme of her sophomore effort: This is a lot different than my first album. It’s really going to be house music. Dutch music producer and DJ Afrojack, who is also Hilton’s ex, is slated to produced the project, which will also feature offerings from the likes of Lil’ Wayne. Hmmm… Any electronic dance music aficionados out there? ( PHOTO: arts-stew )

In the decade-plus since Stephin Merritt released his last album as Future Bible Heroes (2002′s Eternal Youth), the busy songwriter has released a string of Magnetic Fields discs, a Gothic Archies LP, and works under his own name. Now, he has returned to Future Bible Heroes for a new record. Partygoing is out on June 4 through Merge. Merritt composes all the lyrics and melodies for Future Bible Heroes and is accompanied by Christopher Ewan (who handles instrumental duties) and Magnetic Fields staple Claudia Gonson (who sings lead). This album announcement confirms promises Merritt made last year regarding his plans for the project. These 13 songs address the ups and downs of partying, and a press release notes, “Partygoing… 320 kbps | 82 MB | UL | CL | MC …features the signature Future Bible Heroes mix of dancefloor-filling club anthems and super-sad ballads.”
