Pre Draft Workout Thread

[RoyalCourtJestr]

How did my buddy Omar do? I'm gonna try to milk him for info on facebook, lol.

Man, Kings with Cousins and Warriors with Monroe? DAMN, we've got another one!

[SacKingZZZ]

Very early words:
David Falk is unsure of Greg's spot, trying to get him into competitive workouts in the top ten b/c no lock.
Zoubek was there as just kind of a bully on everyone, tested how physical guys were willing to go.
No one differentiated themselves too much, no one dominant player all performed well.

My take: Means they're taking Cousins.

Thanks for the info. Interesting indeed. Sounds like Monroe came into this whole process a tad bit cocky and realized he had to prove himself in such a deep draft big man wise.

Update:

Monroe didnt shine at all. Got one or two good moves that had on lookers raising an eyebrow.

Udoh.. meh. Played good defense and is a work-aholic

Whiteside...Hakeem has REALLY been working with him. He's still green but ...he altars more shots than Manute (R.I.P) He'll be great on D!

As TRW said...Cousins is definately the pick (If he's there).

(Those were the stuff I got)

Edit: Oh ... It looks like if Cousins won't be there a trade between the Jazz and Kings could go down.

So how did Monroe go guys?? I'm hoping fire shot out his ass and he played like a Lebron/Dwight clone........

Me too, hopefully he did SO good that the Warriors will pick him at 6

I hear Cousins is now at 385 pounds. You guys should definately pass on him. Get this news to your GM quick.

Interesting...would the Jazz move up to get Monroe? And what exactly would they offer the Kings for moving up 4 spots (assuming the Kings get the NY pick)? If we still had Hawes/Noci, I could see the Kings trading down to get Whiteside, but now? I don't know. Dale and Whiteside just seem too familiar.

Hahaha. If the Warriors took Cousins you are playing with dynamite. I predict a meltdown bigger than the war raged between Nelly and CWebb. Cousins will break loose and start killing innocent bystanders if he goes to Oakland.

Wonder what for? 9 this year and Memphis pick next year? Wouldn't be terrible if Whiteside is their guy and they take him at 9. Save a little money, pick up a second first next year.

Cousins will be there, there's little to no question about it. Also, the people we spoke to said nothing about Cousins being a lock. "In the mix" was used for 3 players.

[SacKingZZZ]

Draftexpress has updated their mock and did so based on "intel". They have Whiteside all the way down at 23. If the Kings really like him and could trade that far down we might be able to get one hell of a deal going.

Maybe make a deal with the Heat for 18? #5 for Beasley and 18 (Whiteside)? I'd do that.

Absolutely. If not to five, they'll hold tight and take Udoh, Aldrich, and Davis if I had to guess.

We wouldn't have to give up the #5 pick for Beasley. If the rumors are correct, the Heat have been begging teams to take him off their hands.

I have no idea really for who. He just told me there could be a possiblity that Jazz push the envelope to trade with the Kings. I'm assuming they probably made a call to inquire

Thats fine, we'd just call a FO meeting with the entire staff of the last 20 seasons, give Big Cuz a big gulp of red cordial and a chainsaw and watch him go to work. Complete FO shakeup in 20 minutes...

Would they make a move if Cousins was on the board?

[RoyalCourtJestr]

I hope not.

But what could Utah give us that we'd want? o_O Memphis 1st? Damn, that would be solid if Whiteside is our man.

[perezident]

If Monroe is the guy they covet

[RoyalCourtJestr]

If we trade down with Utah, Monroe wouldn't be on the board at #9... ?

[RIPskaterdude]

Memphis could be a playoff team next year...I'm not sure that's worth moving down from 5th to 9th.

[RookieWall]

If Utah trades up its to take Monroe.

There's a chance that he slips to 9, hard to imagine GState and Detroit passing on him though.

[RoyalCourtJestr]

Thats what I thought to, but I guess I was just confused at prez's last post then.

A trade down with Utah means Whiteside is the man, but everything we're seeing (except for RookieWall's quotes, but then again, no one is gonna say that someone is a lock, right) leans to the pick next week being Cousins.
