    2009 Reebok Eurocamp: Day 1
    By Borko_Popic
    Sat, 06/06/2009 - 8:45pm


    Reebok's annual Eurocamp in Treviso, Italy got underway Saturday with all 30 teams represented. A number of GMs are here including New York's Donnie Walsh, Dallas' Donnie Nelson, Phoenix's Steve Kerr, and Houston's Darryl Moray. A few coaches made the trip over too including Mike D'Antoni and Toronto's Jay Triano.

    The Knicks have four representatives (Walsh and D'Antoni, plus Int scouts Kevin Wilson and Misha) over here and word is they're here to see Ricky Rubio. A meeting could be set up to see him in Barcelona. Rubio is currently in the Canary Islands for a basketball camp.

    While a number of players pulled out from the original list, the competition on day one was strong. Brandon Jennings not being here was a disappointment considering he was originally scheduled to be here. Obviously all the GMs knew well ahead of time he would not be here, but that doesn't mean they're not going to complain about it. Considering there probably aren't any first rounders here (Mills has an outside shot), it would have been difficult for someone like Jennings to improve his draft stock even with a great performance.

    Possible second rounder Jonas Jerebko is expected to come into camp on Sunday.

    1. They used an alternate spelling <i>Houston's Darryl <b>Moray</b></i> that I don't remember seeing before.

    Perhaps just a typo, but still not an endorsement for their credibility.

    2. Did they get this wrong and do a later correction or did you take some <i>liberties</i> while doing a <i>copy and paste</i>?

    Your version:
    <i> Phoenix's Scott Brooks</i>


    and the version from the link that I just read:
    <i>Phoenix's Steve Kerr</i>

    They changed Brooks to Kerr and added the Raptors coach

    Thank you.

    Glad that they corrected it, but slightly troubling that they got it wrong in the first place.

    What about Josh Heytvelt of Gonzaga, he is not a bad center?

    I like Heytvelt.
    Maybe Garret Siler 6-11 305 C Augusta St., too?

    I haven't see Garret Siler listed anywhere. Can anyone provide another site to review mock drafts with his draft spot?

    Most likely either just cash or cash and all/part of the Steve Francis TE for a bad contract.

    NBADraft.net has him going in the 2nd round 55th pick to Portland.
    We could use a guy with his size. Should be a serviceable big man.

    Suton is too slow for the NBA IMO. Heytvelt has a higher skill level and is quick enough for the league.

    Good height,length but not fundamentally sound enough. Needs to get much fitter with international exposure before trying for the D-League IMO.

    We need someone with tons of talent buy extremely raw. A project we can stash for a while and then have a legitimate player ready to go in a few years.

    maybe memphis will give us the number 2 pick for nothing just like they did when they traded gasol to the lakers for kwame haha... my guess is that if it doesn't involve brooks then we will get thabeet to back-up yao and if we trade brooks for the 2nd pick then its rubio... honestly i wanna keep brooks in a rockets uniform...
