[TrueLAfan]

Underwhelming.

Underwhelming.

Ballmer is no doubt paying a lot of money to a lot of people to leave no stone unturned. Gotta justify their salaries.

I'm a little disappointed on the work outs and liking what the Lakers are doing with Nembhard, Pippen and Remy Ma.

Feels like the FO really believes in Jay if they aren't looking at many realistic PGoptions.

When the season ends I’m always happy to get away from basketball. It’s always this time when I start getting desperate for any news. Even workouts with guys who might not be more than career g-leaguers.

You have to keep in mind this is from guys who release the info. Clippers never release it. It’s possible they’ve had more interesting workouts but we’ll never know. Or like TrueLAfan said they all ready know who they’re drafting and the names we’re hearing are for the ACC.

I’m sure there are others but he’s the first I’ve seen get a second workout.

Alondes Williams
Dereon Seabron
Taze Moore
David Roddy
Darius Days
Gui Santos
Tim Barnes

David Roddy is my guy.

[KL2]

I can’t find confirmation so I’m not sure the source (outside a few random Twitter accounts) but Kai Sotto will work out for the team. Maybe?

David Roddy is my guy.

The latest mock draft by hoopshype has us picking him. It’s the only mock I’ve seen him in so far.

I know the mock drafts are a guessing game but I think they’re fun to look at.

Balcerowski is intriguing--could be Hart 2.0, I guess.

Everyone else we're bringing in seems pretty much meh. I’m sticking with the bigs—Jaylin Williams and Michael Foster, I’m mystified as to Foster staying in the mid to low second round, but he’d be my #1 choice—and, according to Yahoo’s final Mock, that’s where we get him. Nbadraft.net has Foster going 5 spots below us, to the T-Wolves. Sporting News has him below us as well, at #46 to the Pistons. Cbssports has him at #58, ffs. They all must/see something I don’t. Williams will probably be gone in the 30s; if we could get Foster, I think he’d be a steal.

This year, those clues indicate that the Clippers held workouts for several guards, including Kansas’ Christian Braun, Loyola Chicago’s Lucas Williamson, Villanova’s Collin Gillespie, Iowa State’s Izaiah Brockington , Syracuse’s Buddy Boeheim and Alonzo Verge, who was a standout guard at Nebraska like head coach Tyronn Lue.

Add Loyola Marymount’s Eli Scott, from Chino Hills, to the list, as well as Boston University’s Javante McCoy, who reportedly worked out for the team twice.

The forwards and wings who have reportedly been in to work out include North Carolina State’s Dereon Seabron, LSU’s Darius Days, University of San Diego’s Terrell Brown-Soares, Seton Hall’s Jared Rhoden and Virginia Tech’s Keve Aluma.

And at least a couple of international prospects reportedly also have had an audience with the Clippers, including Brazilian wing Gui Santos and Kai Sotto, a 7-foot-3 Filipino center.

I agree--Scrubb has too many guys ahead of him here to take a two-way at the bottom of the totem pole

and Coffey needs to move up or move out too

I agree with Scrubb, he doesn't have the time to wait as a two way for another year, let him go and get his opportunity....which sucks because I'm still high on him being a good scorer off the bench somewhere.

[TrueLAfan]

Yeah--I like him but, seriously, he's something like the #6 SG/Sf on the roster. At best.
