Official NBA Combine/Workouts thread

Some guys helped there stock imo

Blair: Standing Reach of 8'10.5 (bigger than blake griffin's) Wingspan of 7 foot+, with shoes he's almost 6'7. Psycho T: Measuring out at 6'9+ in shoes, with a wingspan bigger than 6'11. Tyreke Evans and Jrue holiday: 6'5 and 6'4 in shoes. The length of Terrance Williams, Teague, and evans were all impressive specifically the wingspans.

Went ahead and made a official thread for these player workouts for our team and the entire league. I've heard Henderson and Curry are coming in next week for us.

Then came a barrage of shooting drills -- jump-shots come off simulated screens from the elbow, the baseline, college range and NBA range, sometimes with the use of cones from different spots in a timed exercise. They also looked at their ability to make floaters with either hand.

Jrue Holiday was clearly the biggest and most well-built player in the PG group, and he showed teams why he's been one of the fastest rising players in the Draft. Holiday looked very explosive finishing around the basket in the transition drills, looking equally adept at dunking or throwing in floaters with either hand.

Stephen Curry looked smooth, smart and extremely talented in pretty much everything he did. He appeared to have the most polish of any point guard in attendance, except possibly Jonny Flynn, who also stood out.
Jrue = 09 Westbrook workout warrior who's stock rises tremendously because of it.

Good idea on the combine thread!

Jrue Holiday, UCLA: The Bruin freshmen is likely going in the lottery and competed against the rest of the top point guards Thursday morning. Holiday said he is paying attention to reports that he could be in the top 10 in the draft. Holiday said that he hopes he has shown he can be a true point even though he didn't play the point at UCLA because of senior guard Darren Collison.
"I'm a point guard and a leader and I'm trying to show it verbally on the court," Holiday said. His workout schedule has included Toronto, New York, New Jersey, Milwaukee, Charlotte and the L.A. Clippers. UCLA assistant Donny Daniels was in the stands, but it seems the staff is resigned to the fact that Holiday is a goner.
Is this saying we've already worked him out? That would have been reported wouldn't it?

Eaton, according to Bonnell Earrrrrrlllllllll is supposed to come in sometime in June.

Clark, projected as both a small and power forward in the pros, said he'd be in Charlotte later in June.

[Dead_Real]

I haven't heard anything about Holiday working out with us yet maybe it's scheduled don't know but I like the fact that he's going to a lot of teams shows he's a workout warrior.

Good to hear we gotta look at everyone in our range this year from Blair, Clark to T-Will.

It was probably a group workout like the one we saw Henderson at:



NBA agency Wasserman Media Group held a workout on Friday in Los Angeles to showcase their 2009 draft clients, including James Johnson, Gerald Henderson, Wayne Ellington, DaJuan Summers, K.C. Rivers, Jimmy Barron and Josh Shipp. There were six teams there reportedly—Sacramento, Charlotte, Portland, Toronto, the Clippers and Lakers, and various others immediately before or after, including Detroit, Memphis and Oklahoma City. We spoke to two teams who were there, and both mentioned that James Johnson looked extremely impressive. DaJuan Summers also reportedly “had his moments” and Gerald Henderson looked small, but very athletic, even if his 3-point shot was off.

^ Ah thanks. Katz could have worded that a lot better.

Ok, so maybe i just dont get it, but whats the big deal with these measurements? I understand that vertical leap etc are important, but how does knowing what someones measurement are, increase/decrease his value. if he was a good player before you knew exactly how tall he was or how high he can reach over his head, why do measurements matter?

How it translates to the NBA - College players are different from the NBA. NBA players are bigger, faster, stronger. just because you can jump over everyone in your conference in collge doesn't mean you can in the NBA.

I agree. People tend to toally over react. I mean, you'll see some posters yap on about player X only being 6'6 1/2" instead of 6'7" when at the end of the day, does it really matter?

It interesting when you see guys like Teauge (who is much shorter than I thought he would be) or someone like Eaaarrrrrllllllll, who measured out really well.

End of the day, ballers can play basketball. A half inch here and there shouldn't really matter.

You're right about the half inches, but where it matters is guys like Blair, who is only 6'7, but has a huge wingspan. Supposedly Jennings is the same way, but I haven't seen an official measurement on him. It means they play big. It's not the tell all that some say it is, but it helps. I'm not a huge advocate of combines because of the mania over minutia, but this is where it helps.

+1 for showing some Eaaarrrrrrrllllllll love!

I was impressed with Eaaaarrrrrrlllllll's measurements because I'd been reading that he'd be "stuck" between the 3 & the 4. Granted he's not that heavy (less than 230), but he sounds like he could easily play the 4...esp. with his possible point/forward skills.

Even at the 3...a guy with that height & reach would cause some serious issues with the guys who like to camp outside and throw up perimeter shots.

Jrue = 09 Westbrook workout warrior who's stock rises tremendously because of it. Good thread idea!

I fear you're right about the RW and Jrue parallels. It was no secret RW was my man last year and he got swiped from us, and Jrue is my man this year, and will similarly be swiped from us. Still, things worked out okay last year, so we'll see. Also, it's very cool he's willing to work out for us (like RW last year) even though he's likely gone by 12.

[spectre]

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/story/753784.html



Lawson saidhe's scheduled to work out June11 for the Charlotte Bobcats. He saidhe grew an inch during the past year – from 5-foot-11 to 6-foot in sneakers – and is still working to overcome the perception his height will hurt him.

Due dilligence...or is LB going to let his love of PGs push him past our needs?

[ohara831]

As we may let May go (hopefully), I can see LB focus on Blair for a PF position with us. If the SG he wants is not there, Blair may be his man. I just wonder if he will fight Diaw for the start, or would LB play them both and someone else is odd man out, or what he plans. Would be interesting if it happens.

[ohara831]

Really interesting insight on the issues surrounding T-Will. There has been talk of him going in the draft anywhere from mid-late teens to mid 20's. Apparently the concern is around "character" issues.

Today I was watching some coverage on ESPNU. Think Steve Lavin was talking at the time. It was Blake Griffin and T-Will doing some shuttle work. They mentioned his "character issues", and then they gave some insight. Did not specifically say these were the issues, but the inference was there. They mentioned he came from a very difficult childhood/upbringing, but that many players do and overcome such obstacles. Then they mentioned about hanging out with the "wrong" crowd and that many times young players entering the NBA or other pro sports have realize they have to leave certain friends alone to grow up and stay out of trouble. To me, that just kinda told me what the concerns are with T-Will. I can understand why an NBA team would be a little concerned if paying someone big $, and then having concerns that person will be influenced by the wrong crowd and get in trouble. Guess you have to do your homework on the player, and go with your gut feeling. That much $ in the hands of a young man who is surrounded by the wrong influences can lead to some trouble. Sadly, it happens way too often.

[ohara831]

Sorry Swedd. I have an Insider membership so the link works for me. I'm sorry it wont transfer when I paste it. Mostly stuff about how Tyler H. looks good and some others who are helping themselves stay in the 1st round. Interesting was the quip on DeJuan Blair. He said Blair looks in great shape since losing that extra weight, but during the 1st day was more jogging than running up the court. Said a GM came up to Blair and told him to stop running like he was "still fat". Said on Day 2 Blair was busting it up the court, so he took the GM's criticism to heart.

[Dead_Real]

I'd try to get another 1st to snatch up DeJuan Blair he has that Larry Johnson attitude that I loved as a Hornets fan maybe it would rub off on Mek.

[jazzer89]

Our NBA prospects begin working out on thursday. I hear Curry, Henderson, and Danny Green will be there along with others. Can't wait for a news update tomorrow about how the workout went. This is where can get a real good look at who we want to draft.

Also at the workout is Florida State's Toney Douglas, Clemson's K.C. Rivers and Louisiana State's Garrett Temple.

Keep updating as the workout begins and concludes tomorrow.

All comments wanted, especially of those contain exactly who is going to be at the workout

Thanks

[Dead_Real]

Who knew Wayne Ellington could actually get up? just saw that he had a 38.0 vertical higher than Hendo wow.

Any news on guys coming in? I know Curry, Hendo and Green are in Charlotte today.

T-Will is scheduled to come in on the 15th.

Bunch of scrubs coming in tomorrow.

Finaly some feed back from the workout today

Curry and Hendo both seem like the real deal according Brown neither might not be around when we pick at 12.

[Ghost Kat]

Curry won't be there but Henderson probably will. Personally I'd rather have T. Williams. He can play SG or SF. I think we'll go big at 12 and draft someone like Danny Green or Budinger in the 2nd. I'm a little more hopeful for this three pick draft. We picked three people last year and only one actually play'd real minutes.

Henderson seems to really want to play for the Bobcats.

[Dead_Real]

Nice I was afraid we weren't going to bring him in

Went ahead an merged the workout threads I like what I heard from Henderson I got the same vibe from him Dav.

[spectre]

• On the downside, Pittsburgh's DeJuan Blair has to be bummed. Blair looked solid in the drills and really impressed teams with his weight loss (http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=910895#) and tone. He also measured short, but his wingspan, standing reach and his athletic abilities made up for much of it.

However, the news became much grimmer for Blair when the results of the medical testing came back. Multiple NBA teams are saying Blair's knees have been red-flagged.

Blair tore both of his ACLs in high school, and the preliminary word from the physicals is that his knees aren't in great shape.

How bad they are depends on who you talk to, but the range wasn't good. I heard everything from "devastating" to "troubling."

Blair's agent, Happy Walters, doesn't feel words like "devastating" are accurate in describing the report he saw.


Chad Ford. Watch Blair's stock plummet.

[Dead_Real]

^If he falls to the 2nd I'd take him without thinking twice I think he'll go mid 1st though

[SWedd523]

He'll still be picked somewhere in the first. I personally haven't wanted him but there will be teams looking to add a bruiser type and there just isn't anybody other than Blair and James Johnson.

He might drop a little but we'll see Johnson's stock rise more than anything else

Yeah, you cant do any good in a suit, no matter how much of a bruiser you're supposed to be.

[BRNC]

I'd have to pass on Blair...guys with medical problems don't shrug them off in the NBA...he is very physical which will make it more of a problem...If we keep our seconds I'd look at Heytvelt and Pendergraph for a "big" with the hope of coaching them up...we've had enough medical problems without drafting another one...just my opinion...

[SWedd523]

He's more of a poor man's Rahard Lewis, so while he could play the PF spot with a big Center, he's more of a Small Forward. I would like to see him here to provide some offensive support but he'll be gone by the time our pick comes up in the second round though

Do we have a place to put mock drafts?

Chad Ford V4:

29. LAL - Collison
30. CLE - D. Brown

Hill dropping to 10th, Hansbrough at 11th, Daye creeping up to 13th and Williams falling to 22nd. Consistently, we get Henderson (which I think I'd be very happy with).

It'll be very interesting to see what LB says about Hansbrough today. Can you imagine the heads that will explode if we go with him at 12 to replace McMay?

Mine would probably be one of them. I like the guy's energy...but a lotto pick?

[teej]

Looks like some here are really overrating Williams, or he's being majorly undervalued by the pros.

I tend to think Mocks are mostly wrong, but this is scaring me if we're so far off on T-Will. Because this board is usually pretty good.

[jpf_v2.0]

Wow. Hansborough at 11. Do we just horribly underrate him?

In trade up do you mean our two seconds . If so i would do that, but im not interested in him at twelve.

I might even take him at 28. If he was still around . I would pick the best player at twelve. See if T Williams lasted to 18th . If he did i would try to trade twelve for eighteen and twentyeight.

Williams seems to be mocking around 22 in most mocks.

Or instead of Williams we draft BJ Mullens and get Danny Green at 28?

[SWedd523]

Why is everybody all about Mullens? This dude didn't do shit in school after graduating as the top high school talent in the country.

As for Hansbrough, I think he (same goes for Mullens) benefits from a severely weak draft for bigs. Outside of Griffen and Hill, there really isn't anybody worth considering. So teams really looking for help down low will take the lower teir guys too high.

[teej]

Why is everybody all about Mullens? This dude didn't do shit in school after graduating as the top high school talen

He has talent, and a good coach like LB will get it out of him. He would be able to use Boris' and DJ's passing skills to score, and he has a solid post presence no one here has.

No, he wasn't great in college, but he wasn't pathetic either. And I was talking if we got the 18th/28th, not for 12

[Ghost Kat]

Why does everyone hate on Hansbrough so much? Isn't a energy guy, a big that goes after the ball, Isn't that something this team needs off the bench? I wouldn't take him at #12 because I think this team needs to address SG first. But I think most are hating because he's a Tar Heel. But he has a nice jumper that has improved every year, Good FT shooter , He fits the team mind set of play hard play the right way.....So whats wrong with trading those 2nd rounders to get him?

I agree with you on this one. I think he gets a lot of greif because he was so dominant in college, some expect him to be just as dominant in the league. I don't think he will, but I do think he can give the engery and hustle that any team can use. Not for the 12th pick, I feel there'd be much more talent available then, but late first round? If we can get back in, why not?

Thats my exact thoughts guys . I compleatly agree. A very nice hussle and rotation player good pick up if we could back in to the first round.

If Hill happens to fall into our laps at twelve . Ellington would be anorher great pick up to back into in the late first round. Ellington is going to be good in this league starter good some one is going to steel him. Im think hes in the same class as Henderson, T Williams, only drafted much later. He has a better shot than any one in the draft except Curry and is much more athletic.

Nobody's complaining about trading our two second rounders to get him. As far as I can tell that's been the consensus belief here at BCP.

The issue is using a lottery pick on him. I wouldn't take him (or Mullens) with a top 15 pick but if we used the 12 on Henderson or Williams then took Hansbrough with what our seconds can buy then we'll have had a very successful draft.

[Ghost Kat]

College BB is not something I watch alot. I watch nothing but ACC ball so when Draft time comes I'm useless. But the closer we get I think more the Cats will take Henderson. I'm pretty sure a big name will drop to use again, like DJ did last year. This draft is so open at this point. I have more faith now that LB's making the pick.

I like to call myself a somewhat expert come draft time simply because I'd much rather watch College ball than the NBA. Pro ball just seems to be tainted and rigged for the aristocracy (Celtics, Lakers, etc.) to succeed while teams like the Bobcats are shunned.

In college it's kind of the opposite with all of the upsets and Cinderella stories where teams only have to win one game. The college players have more hustle and tenacity and just seem to love the game and not the money.

If it weren't for the Bobcats and their underdog status, I really wouldn't care about the NBA much.

I totally agree.

I watched Daye a couple of times during the year and then watching him at the combine left me less than impressed. Yes, he's hella tall and long, but he looks like he has no drive or passion at all. Next to no hustle. He just sort of lopes up and down and has no urgency to what he does.
