pre draft workout news

To update on Brewer, the Sam Vincent said this:

The other thing that really stuck out was his(brewer's) shooting ability. He has a real nice shot from the outside, and he also demonstrated the ability to shoot the mid-range shot. He gets to the 14- and 15-foot sweet spot, and he can really elevate and get that shot off. That’s a little bit of a lost art in today’s game, so that was nice to see.

(On Corey Brewer’s ability to create his own shot)
We feel like he can create his own shot. He’s got good ball-handling skills and a pretty quick first step. When a guy can shoot it as well as he does, then the defense really has to close out, and that creates an opportunity for him to get by guys. So, we really liked some of the things he did today.

I wonder what MJ thinks?

Sounds like both players would be a good fit in Charlotte.

I think MJ knows that Brewer is the perfect fit for this team. Good outside shooter. Offensive game is improving, and a great defender. Well, maybe that's just what I think.

Good find Dave!

How do you guys feel about Vincent talking about the 6'7" Thornton as a power forward.
Unless he is the next Larry Johnson or Charles Barkley, then I'm not comfortable with that.

yeah, i'm worried about him too. Hopefully this relieves people if we do draft him, from nbadraft.net

Does a great job of getting rebounds out of position thanks to his leaping ability and foot speed

In the bobcats article, Thornton lists himself best fit as a 3.

I sure hope so.

draft express has a list of all the scheduled workout for all the teams. I was looking at it and saw that we had about 9 or 10 guys coming in, I sure hope we bring in more. But the warriors, jeez they are working out over 20 guys! I know the don't pick in the same area buy I wish we'd workout that many. You just never know when you'll find that diamond in the ruff.

I know...why not workout people if we are going to have spots?

diamonds in the rough...hmm...Matt, Walter, Hollins (potentially), crash, primoz, Alan Anderson, Brevin, DA....come to think of it, a large amount of our roster came out of the scrap heap, and it has turned out pretty well....

Look at Vincents comments on the Obverser I hope to God we take Brewer at 8 he has all the things he says he wants to make the Bobcats into especially on the defensive side of the ball.

what's their draft position btw? i have no idea why they workout a lot of guys while we don't. are we missing in on something?

No, you're not alone in thinking that. Those were some good sound bytes (are they considered sound bytes when you're reading them? ) I liked how Vincent indicates that he will continue with the Bernie-mold of having the Bobcats be a D-first team. That segues seamlessly into Corey Brewer whom, I think it's safe to say, is Vincent's preferred player (and a lot of ours) at this point. I was impressed by a alot of his answers, specifically his knowledge of the Bobcats and what kind of team they are. I get the impression that, though he would rather be drafted earlier for the obviou$ rea$on$, he would be thrilled to be a part of the team, and understands that he would play a significant role in the playoff push. Then again, maybe that's just what I think!!
