'''Thomas Leo Clancy Jr.''' (born [[April 12]] [[1947]]), better known as '''Tom Clancy''', is a [[United States|US]] author of bestselling political thrillers, best known for his technically detailed espionage and [[military science]] storylines set during the [[Cold War]]. His name is also a brand for similar books written by [[ghost writer]]s and a series of non-fiction books on military subjects and merged biographies of key leaders.

==BiographyDraft order==

The first 14 picks in the draft, belonging to teams that had missed the 2007 NBA Playoffs, were determined through a [[NBA Draft Lottery|lottery]] held on [[May 22]], [[2007]]. The remaining first-round picks and the second-round picks were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win-loss record in the [[2006-07 NBA season]].

Thomas Leo Clancy Jr. was born [[April 12]], [[1947]], in [[Baltimore County, Maryland]]. He attended [[Loyola Blakefield]] in [[Towson, Maryland]], graduating with the class of [[1965]]. He went on to study English Literature at [[Loyola College in Maryland|Loyola College]] in [[Baltimore]], graduating with the class of [[1969]]. He's said he studied English because he was not smart enough to do [[physics]]. Before making his literary debut, he spent some time running an independent [[insurance]] business.

===Round 1===

Clancy married his first wife, Wanda, in the 1970s. After having four children together, they divorced in [[1998]].

Clancy was an early and, to many, surprising defender of [[Islam]] after the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11, 2001 attacks]]. He was interviewed on [[CNN]] later that day. Clancy has also associated himself with General [[Anthony Zinni]], a critic of the [[Iraq War]]. The two have worked together on two books.

=== Teams without a Draft Pick ===

==Bibliography==

These teams do not have a Draft Pick in the 2007 NBA Draft:

''[[The Hunt for Red October]]'', ''[[Patriot Games]]'', ''[[Clear and Present Danger]]'', and ''[[The Sum of All Fears]]'' have been turned into commercially successful films with actors [[Alec Baldwin]], [[Ben Affleck]], and [[Harrison Ford]] as Clancy's most famous fictional character [[Jack Ryan (Tom Clancy)|Jack Ryan]], while his second famous character [[John Clark (Tom Clancy character)|John Clark]] has been played by actors [[Willem Dafoe]] and [[Liev Schreiber]]. The first [[NetForce]] novel was adapted as a television movie, starring [[Scott Bakula]] and [[Joanna Going]]. The first [[Op-Center]] novel was released to coincide with a 1995 NBC television mini-series of the same name [http://http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114691/ (Tom Clancy's Op-Center)] starring Harry Hamlin and a cast of stars. Though the mini-series didn't continue the book series did, but it had little in common with the first mini-series other than the title and the names of the main characters.

* Denver Nuggets

* Toronto Raptors

* Cleveland Cavaliers

* Indiana Pacers

=== Lottery ===

The website [[IMDB]] reports that Tom Clancy's novel ''[[Without Remorse]]'' is to be made into a movie and is expected to be released in 2009. Filming is to commence in 2008. No other details are availble (25 May 2007).

Teams were in the 2007 [[NBA Draft Lottery|draft lottery]] either by being eliminated from playoff consideration or through prior trades with non-playoff teams. The NBA performed a tie-breaker on [[April 20]] to determine which teams get which picks.<ref name=tiebreaker>{{cite web | url = http://www.draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=2008 | title = Ties Broken for 2007 NBA Draft Order of Selection | date = [[2007-04-20]] | author = Draft Express | accessdate = 2007-04-21 }}</ref> The lottery was held on [[May 22]], [[2007]] in [[Secaucus, New Jersey|Secaucus]], [[New Jersey]].

Fourteen [[Ping pong ball|ping-pong balls]], numbered from one to 14, were placed in a bin to create 1,001 four-ball combinations. Each team was assigned a set number of four-ball combinations based on their won-loss record during the [[2006-07 NBA season]]. Combinations were drawn to determine the top three picks, and then the remaining spots were assigned to the remaining teams based on their win-loss records.<ref>

With the release of ''[[The Teeth of the Tiger]]'', Clancy introduced Jack Ryan's son and two nephews as main characters. Presumably, he has retired Jack Ryan as a central character. Many fans have expressed disappointment in Clancy's recent fiction works and sales of his books have reflected the growing trend of readers turning away from Clancy.

The first 14 picks were awarded as follows (with the winning lottery numbers for the top 3 picks).<ref>{{cite news |title=NBA.com: Knowing The Numbers |work=NBA.com |url=http://www.nba.com/features/lottery2007room_070522.html |date=[[2007-23-05]] |accessdate=2007-06-23}}</ref>

Clancy has written several nonfiction books about various branches of the [[Military of the United States|U.S. armed forces]] (see [[Tom Clancy#Non-fiction|non-fiction listing]], below). Clancy has also branded several lines of books with his name that are written by other authors, following premises or storylines generally in keeping with Clancy's works:

#Portland Trail Blazers (5&ndash;9&ndash;14&ndash;13)

*''[[Tom Clancy's Op-Center]]''

#Seattle SuperSonics (14&ndash;4&ndash;11&ndash;10)

*''[[Tom Clancy's Power Plays]]''

#Atlanta Hawks (5&ndash;6&ndash;9&ndash;4)

*''[[Tom Clancy's Net Force]]''

#Memphis Grizzlies

*''[[Net Force Explorers|Tom Clancy's Net Force Explorers]]''

#Boston Celtics

*''[[Splinter Cell#Novels|Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell]]''

#Milwaukee Bucks

#Minnesota Timberwolves

#Charlotte Bobcats

#New York Knicks (sent to Chicago Bulls)

#Sacramento Kings

#Indiana Pacers (sent to Atlanta Hawks)

#Philadelphia 76ers

#New Orleans Hornets

#Los Angeles Clippers

Despite having the three highest probabilities of earning a top-three pick, the Memphis Grizzlies (.643 probability of drawing a top three pick), Boston Celtics (.558), nor Milwaukee Bucks (.468), received a top-three pick. Mathematically, this situation occurs only 8.4% of the time.<ref>Calculated by multiplying the probability of each team not receiving a top three pick: (.357)(.442)(.532)=0.0839, or approximately 8.4%</ref> Memphis, Boston and Milwaukee received the fourth, fifth and sixth picks, the lowest possible picks they could be awarded through the lottery.<ref>

These are sometimes referred to by fans as "apostrophe" books; Clancy did not initially acknowledge that these series were being authored by others, only thanking the actual authors in the headnotes for their "invaluable contribution to the manuscript".

Below were the chances for each seed to get specific picks in the 2007 lottery (rounded to 3 decimal places)<ref>

In 1997 Tom Clancy signed a book deal with [[Penguin Putnam Inc.]] (both part of [[Pearson Education]]), that paid him [[United States dollar|US$]]50 million for the world-English rights to two new books. He then signed a second agreement for another US$25 million for a four-year book/multimedia deal. Clancy followed this up with an agreement with [[Berkley Books]] for 24 paperbacks to tie in with the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] television miniseries ''[[NetForce (film)|Tom Clancy's Net Force]]'' aired in the fall/winter of 1998. The OP-Center universe has laid the ground for the series of books written by Jeff Rovin, which was in an agreement worth US $22 million bringing the total value of the package to US$97 million.

==Eligibility rules==

* All drafted players, regardless of nationality, must be born on or before [[December 31]], [[1988]] (i.e., they must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft).

* ''[[The Hunt for Red October]]'' (1984)

*: Clancy's first novel. Jack Ryan assists in the defection of a respected [[Soviet Navy|Soviet naval]] captain, along with the most advanced [[ballistic missile submarine]] of the Soviet fleet. The [[The Hunt for Red October (film)|movie]] (1990) stars [[Alec Baldwin]] as Ryan and [[Sean Connery]] as Captain Ramius.

(John Clark later tells Jack Ryan in ''Clear and Present Danger'' that he was on the helicopter that had to turn back when attacking the terrorist camps in northern Africa.) It should be noted that the events of "Patriot Games" are mentioned as part of Jack Ryan's past in "The Hunt for Red October", and therefore is a prequel to that story.

==International players declaring for the draft==

* ''[[Executive Orders]]'' (1996)

These are players born between [[January 1]], [[1986]] and [[December 31]], [[1988]] for whom '''''all''''' of the following are true:<ref name="NBA CBA"/>

*: Sequel to ''Debt of Honor''. Ryan, propelled into the [[President of the United States|presidency]] as a result of events in ''Debt of Honor'', survives press hazing, [[assassination]] attempts and [[biological warfare]]—Clark and Ding trace the [[virus]] to a [[Middle East]]ern madman, and the U.S. military goes to work.

*They have lived outside the United States for at least three years prior to the draft while playing organized basketball, either as an amateur or professional, outside the U.S.

*They have never enrolled at a U.S. college or university.

*They did not complete high school in the U.S.

International players become automatically eligible for the draft in the calendar year that they turn 22; younger players must declare for the draft, with the same deadline as for U.S. college players. These players can withdraw from the draft as well; while preserving U.S. college eligibility is not an issue for the vast majority of such players, who are ineligible for college play as professionals, they may have contractual or personal reasons for withdrawing. The NBA released the list of international early entrants as part of its official release of the early entrants list on [[May 4]].<ref name=NBAList />
