Did you see his workout footage with the kings i believe it was, he looked out of shape, slow and his jump shot sucked.

lol @ Kelly. I'm sure if it were up to him Joseph or Thompson would be taken number 5.

Cory has come a long way since I met him in Vegas in terms of his public demeanour. Smiles; seems very comfortable with media etc.

Teased Tristan about his shooting a little bit "I call him Baby Shaq" ...not sure how much Tristan liked that, but he rolled with it.

Thompson's J is noticeably different, but was not consistent with it when I was watching. Have always been impressed with his mobility etc

Larry Tanenbaum came to watch; some Basketball Canada types. Felt like a little Canadian basketball love-in.

Jesus, those tweet updates were useless (blaming the reporters, not the posters).

It would be interesting if we traded Ed for another pick to take Thompson for example: Kemba with the 5th and Thompson with a top ten pick. Thompson seems like a good kid.

Asked Jim Kelly to compare Tristan and Ed Davis as some have and whether they could coexist in same frontcourt. Will get to that later

Tomorrow's workout has been cancelled.

Wolstat points out that the last guy they probably need to get in is Alec Burks. So maybe Monday?

Burks is the only one of the players that BC has named and not seen either in a Raps workout, or in Treviso (or in Vesely's case, live during his team's final in Belgrade, and at least two other games), so that makes sense.

Jimmer's interview with the Jazz:

The media really seems to like him.

Go Jimmer!

If Jazz really like Jimmer at 12, does that mean they pass on Knight at 3?

Mr.Raptorsingh · Post #56 » by **Mr.Raptorsingh** » Wed Jun 15, 2011 8:30 pm

I think the Jazz should take Kanter at 3, and take Fredette at 12. But, the only thing with that, is that Fredette might not be there at 12, with the Kings showing interest at 7. So, maybe the Jazz trade down with the Wizards, and take Fredette at 6, Singleton (or whoever falls of the bigs) at 12.

Fredette
Hayward
Singleton
Favors
Jefferson

Flip Devin Harris for something.

I think it's possible, and Knight probably isn't endearing himself to them by refusing to work out against anyone tomorrow. I've also heard he's not really high on going there anyway.

We'll see, though. Jazz beat guy says if he's there guy, they won't be deterred by his refusal to work out against other prospects.

Why has Jimmer been associated with Utah for so long? Is it because they took Gordon Heyward?
