Friday NBA Draft Workouts


Recommended Posts

Just to give you an idea of everyone's stock out of the guys we're looking at... this all based on DraftExpresses rankings not mine

9th pick: Ennis, Hood

24th pick: Early, Robinson III, Hairston, Tavares

45th pick: Antetokounmpo, Daniels, Fair, Ejim, Benimon, Thames, Dawkins, Vives

These are all the guys we have scouted, interviewed, or scheduled/conducted workouts with.

If you want, feel free to choose the best three from each pick.

Everyone listed here has a grade outside of the 9th pick and even he's not set in stone there. Hood is in the mid to late teens of the first and Ennis is the same, some think he'll still be available in the early 20's.

I don't see one player listed worth the 9th pick at all. Which makes me lean even further to it being traded away.

Both Hood and Ennis will not be there at 24, which is why they are slotted at the 9th spot. Both players will go between the 14-18 range.

If you want either of them you're going to have to pick them at nine or trade down and select them with the pick you traded for.

Hairston may move up into this category but he currently isn't.

Hood is more of a project on defense than Biyombo is on offense.. Simply bc of desire.

It killed Duke to have Hood being batcrap awful on defense and Jabari who was good but half azzed it on D with minor conditioning issues.

Both on the floor cause tourny embarassment.

I'm not really high on Hood either but he's an interesting prospect. I've seen comparisons from Martell Webster to Rashard Lewis, to Rudy Gay.

He's nearly 6'9" so he's definitely playing the three spot. He's a good slasher and has a really good shooting touch but he'd be MKG's back-up and I don't want to draft a back-up with any pick earlier than 15th overall.

At 16, sure... take Hood and let him come in and get 20 minutes a game behind MKG but at 16 you could make the case for Hairston.... sooooo.... I don't see Hood as a viable option.

Not saying Hood was always great or even good on D, but this may be the first time I've seen someone say he was awful. And that Jabari was good. Jabari essentially never played help side, was out of position, and overall pretty bad on D most of the time IMO. Hood was one of the few bright spots, if only in spurts (when his mind was on it). If he can add some weight, to go with his length and athleticism, I think his defense will come around to be average enough at the NBA level.

Were trading back.  I'm not sure if we can move up....but the 9th and 24th for a pick in the mid teens and a vet.

 

Here's an observation of note.  Both the Timberwolves and the Jazz pick between our 9th and 24th pick.  Minny at 13 and Utah at 23.  Both teams give us potential sign and trade options: Minny with Love, and Utah with Heyward.  For love we'd have to give up both picks and probably MKG and Zeller (which I'm ok with), and for Heyward we're looking at giving up the 9th, MKG, and Hendo (I'm also ok with).  

 

The only scenario that I could see us trading up is if Marcus Smart falls to the 7th pick then we'd probably have the firepower to trade up two spots with the 9th and 24th and maybe Hendo.

    • But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.  
    • It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
