pre draft workout news

[ziggy]

There is hardly any news leaking out from the workouts, but if you find any be sure to post it or link it here.

I found this interesting article on a workout that Brandon Wright and Joakim Noah had with the Celtics

I know we worked out Noah and some others on the 9th, but are we working out any other players anytime soon?

I sure hope we do, we worked out one first round pick. Noah, and nobody seems to want him at 8 so..we've worked out nobody.
We have to have something up our sleeve with the 8th pick or we'd have been saying something by now. Don't you guys think?

draft express has us bring in Major Wingate, and Corey Brewer today. We all know about Brewer, but for those who don't know Wingate he was kicked off the Tennessee basketball team for a failed drug test and played last year in Turkey. I see him as a project at best again. The only shot he has is a dunk, and he's not much of a defensive threat. All this ofcoarse is coming from draftexpress.

Thanks for the update JM7. I wanna see how Brewer's work out goes. I've only heard of Wingate a few times, don't expect much from him in his workout.

I hope so, draftexpress said in another workout he hit 70% from 12 to 17 feet and 60% from 3pt rang. They also said that wasn't very good? He was also told not to play to hard and risk injury and he dove head first after a lose ball that was going toward the weight lifting area. Sound like anybody we know? I guess those numbers aren't that hot because he was unguarded but the also said he had an extremly good work ethic which is something we always want.

Nice job on the find Jonathon. It's surprising those numbers aren't good. Was it timed, or was he just able to take his time?

I like the work ethic and know he's better than that. I think we'll also judge him based on workouts from elsewhere.

Just remember, Brandon Roy had bad workouts and look how he ended up.

We worked out Brewer, Thorton, and Young. We we're supposed to work out Green to but he didn't make the trip to Charlotte.
