Consensus Drafts
http://www.nba.com/news/2013-consensus- ... index.html

As CSN reported earlier in the week, the Wizards requested to talk with Otto Porter of Georgetown and Maryland’s Alex Len and have been granted access by the NBA.

They scheduled to talk to

PG Isaiah Canaan (Murray State) 6-1 shoot first PG - small school
PG/SG C.J. McCollum (Lehigh) 6-3 scorer, shooter with handles - take the big shot small school
SG Allen Crabbe (California) 6-6 rebounder, move with out the ball, shooter Reggie miller/Allen houston
SG/SF Victor Oladipo (Indiana) 6-4 - hybrid athletic strong body improving defense scorer
SF Otto Porter (GT) - Fundamental
SF Shabazz Muhammad (UCLA) - Scorer
PF Mason Plumlee (Duke) - Strong
C/PF Cody Zeller (Indiana) - Fundamental
C/PF Kelly Olynyk (Gonzaga) - Small School S4 scorer
C Alex Len (MD) - 7-1 all around center
C Steven Adams (Pittsburgh) - 7-0 strong project big rebounder, runner, strong body

Blue-chip prospects SG Ben McLemore (Kansas) and PG Trey Burke (Michigan) are not scheduled with the Wizards. Nerlens Noel, a 6-11 center from Kentucky, is expected to only interview with a couple teams and isn't likely to do more than that, a person with knowledge of the situation told CSN.

Haven't talked to these names, but that was before they had the #3. Let see if they do.

WASHINGTON, DC –The Washington Wizards will conduct a pre-draft workout tomorrow – Tuesday, June 4th – at 10:30 am at Verizon Center.

The following players are currently scheduled to participate in Tuesday's workout:

Malcolm Armstead | G | Wichita State | 6'0, 205 lbs
Demetrius Conger | F | St. Bonaventure | 6'6, 205 lbs
Ramon Galloway | G | LaSalle | 6'3, 180 lbs
Jamelle Hagins | F | Delaware | 6'9, 235 lbs
Romero Osby | F | Oklahoma | 6'8, 232 lbs
Tray Woodall | G | Pittsburgh | 6'0, 190 lbs

I'm getting frustrated with the lack of info. I can't find anything about any kind of workout schedule for the Wizards. Let's get the ball rolling!! I mean what are they waiting for?

I remember watching Nick Young's workout being pretty sure he was gonna be a Wizard. That was cool to see.

I'm tired of going through all the same reports. We need some new info!!!!!!!!!!! Put out a schedule at least for crying out loud!

I need some rumors and some workout reports! Let's get the ball rolling!! I mean what are they waiting for? I can't take another month of this!!!

Worst draft in NBA history so you are not missing out on much.

A RealGM post about James Southerland's workout schedule noted that the Wizards was one of about 8 teams for whom he was auditioning.

Southerland is sort of intriguing as a late second round pick, although he may also go undrafted. He's a rangy 6'8", good size, a great 3-point shooter (if streaky at times) who could also run the floor in transition and rebound some. Coming out of Syracuse, it's hard to say how his defense would be. His range extends to the NBA three, so he could carve out a small career just doing that.

double post

angelo sharpless will workout for the wizards on june 3rd. 6 foot four guard who comes from a small school and is a ridiculous dunker. Apparently dunked over a standing plumlee brother during barnstorming games and its on youtube. Also did a dunk where he had a defender backpedalling to the free throw line, bounced the ball off the ground over defenders head onto the backboard, caught it and reverse dunked it...

I also am intrigued by southerland, six eight shooter with a 7 foot one wingspan and possibly elite standing reach as well ( need to double check standing reach)..they did say in scouting report they're not sure about his defense but he has in the gym range on his 3 point shot.

thanks for taking my suggestion and starting thread so we can know who to research

yup southerland has a 7 foot 1 wingspan and 8 ft 10 standing reach. He has otto porters size and is longer and has a bigger standing reach than every small forward not named rudy gay, paul george, durant and whatever lebron has grown to.
when you look at all the elite small forwards in the league they all have a plus seven foot wingspan and a standing reach in the vicinity his reach is in. For comparisons sake barnes standing reach is 8 foot 5. Granger might be 8' 7'..but durants is a ridiculous 9 ft 2 inches

Here's the video of Sharpless BruceO mentioned

Yeah I like Southerland. I gotta figure their thinking he might go undrafted, and he'd be a nice training camp invite. Could be a Cartier replacement/upgrade.

Per Mike Lee:

Otto Porter, Victor Oladipo, Ben McLemore, and Anthony Bennett will all come in in the second or third week of June.

Monday: Illinois State guard Tyler Brown, Creighton forward Gregory Echenique, East Carolina guard Miguel Paul and Elizabeth City State guard Angelo Sharpless.

Peyton Siva, Mike Muscala, Christian Watford, Archie Goodwin, Adonis Thomas, Romero Osby, Will Clyburn, Khalif Wyatt and James Southerland will all come in next week.

Now thats good to know.

Still wish I saw Jackie Carmichael on the list though.

Can someone reassure me that we bring in no name prospects every year for workouts just because? I seem to recall we (and other teams) always do this, but I'm not positive. Because these guys aren't even being invited to any of these bigger combine/workouts, and they are completely off the radar on any draft sites.

I know a decent amount about Miguel Paul because he played at MIzzou my freshman and sophomore years. He transferred because he wasn't good enough to get minutes at Mizzou anymore (although to be fair, he had a lot of competition between Marcus Denmon, Kim English, Phil Pressey, and Michael Dixon).

My fondest memory of Miguel Paul is that he wore number 3 ("mp3") because Chris Paul wore number 3 as well, and he claimed to be Chris Paul's cousin when he came to Mizzou as a freshman, but a few months into the season a reporter asked Chris Paul about Miguel, and Chris said he had never heard of him, and it later came out that Miguel was making the entire thing up (I think he claimed there was actually some distant relation between the two, but they had only met briefly once at one of Chris Paul's basketball camps or something). Anyways, just a fun story that you might get a good laugh out of, and hopefully it makes it clear that this kid is a scrub and has no future in the NBA.

Summer league, probably looking at a couple of guys from that list, maybe head into camp with 1 or 2 of them.

Clarke was among six players who worked out Monday for approximately two hours. The others were guards Tyler Brown (Illinois State), Miguel Paul (East Carolina) and Angelo Sharpless (Elizabeth City State), and centers Gregory Echenique (Creighton) and Ehimen Orukpe (Wichita State).


For what its worth. I guess they are just warming up. Kind of like Preseason draft evaluation.
