Pre Draft Workout Thread

[RIPskaterdude]

It's going to be interesting to see who is invited for a 2nd workout...so far, no one has been.

Not publicly.

Well, unless you know something that we don't, then no one has

I do. I think you'll see soon enough.

Yeah. It's just a matter of if everyone invited agrees to workout with each other.

I sure hope that if a certain softy doesn't agree to workout against the two main guys and the wildcard, they won't be drafting him. I mean I hope they won't be drafting him anyway, but this would give them a great excuse.

Its a good opportunity for the wildcard. As far as the softy goes, I'm thinking he'll do it, which probably makes him most likely to get taken at that spot if he holds his own (unfortunately).

I hope not. Maybe not if the wildcard really outshines him in the workout--which he may do. It's not that hard to prepare for the softy.

I wonder if both will just be dominated by the main guys though--to the point where it's hard to tell. If that happens, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a 3rd workout with just the two of them.

[RIPskaterdude]

I do. I think you'll see soon enough.

If you do then say about about it...

[SacKingZZZ]

Are Wes Johnson or Aminu coming in for workouts? I haven't heard of them doing any as of yet.

[RoyalCourtJestr]

WHO IS THE WILDCARD? Damn you insiders talking in code. IS IT WHITESIDE!? It's gotta be. Favors/Cousins/Whiteside/Monroe workout = drool. I hope they own Monroe.

[pillwenney]

Jon G is reporting that Minnesota isn't even going to work out Cousins. They're set on Johnson, supposedly--which would eliminate him for us. Seems crazy, but if they don't work Cousins out, I guess it's a pretty fair assumption.

So with that, I feel like we have to take the risk on Cousins. But right now, they have us passing on Cousins to take Monroe.

And LS, you'll find out soon enough, I would think.

[SacKingZZZ]

Also noticed on Cousin' supposed twitter he posted, "R.I.P. To the competition! Lmao" after his workout in Sac. Interesting indeed.

I think I can figure out who Mitch thinks the "Softy" is.

[SacKingZZZ]

Was checking out the Euro measurements on DE and I really think we need to work out Hanlin Dong. Never seen him before but with a name like that how can you go wrong!! hahaha.

Prospect wise it's a huge mistake and once again the Kings would be blasted for making a bad pick but it might work out in time though. Cousins will be a better player overall however.

A. That makes me feel way better, since Cousins is my top pick...

B. If we pass on Cousins for Monroe, I'm gonna have to kill something

C. That sleeper better be Whiteside. If it's Udoh, I'll be sad. It can't be. Especially if he got dominated in workouts with Whiteside and Aldrich.

D. After all we've been through Mitch, you'll withhold info from me?! When I've got a NBA beat writing job, I'll remember this!

[pillwenney]

I just don't feel comfortable publicly saying these things. I wouldn't want to lose my trust with my current source.

[RIPskaterdude]

So PM one of us, then we can say it, so that your source will never know

[pillwenney]

Well now he would know, wouldn't he?



I just don't want it to be discussed publicly in the forum. Stuff spreads too easily.

[RIPskaterdude]

Well, from what I've heard, Whiteside is probably the "wildcard"...

But then again, you can never rule this guy out.

[RoyalCourtJestr]

Well, hum. We can assume that this "wildcard" as well as Favors and Cousins (since you said the big two) are coming back in, along with "softy", and I can't imagine softy is anyone but Monroe. We already know Whiteside dominanted, and Udoh was decent, but then again he really wouldn't be a "wildcard", would he, since he's already expected top 10? So, wildcard = Whiteside.

[RIPskaterdude]

Softy is obviously Monroe, since Mitch doesn't exactly like him.
