Draft Workout/Interview Videos

A pretty good breakdown draft video of SG Terrence Ross! Hope this guy ends up in Houston on draft night!

Moultrie just looks so fluid and athletic offensively for a 6'11" guy. Can't speak to his defense, but offensively, there's pretty much no way this guy doesn't carve himself out a solid role in the NBA. If he's there at #14 Houston would have to take a long hard look.

Also, Harkless looks freaky long and athletic. I'm sure the kid is raw as all hell, but he's got the talent to be special.

 

I agree. He moves and jumps so effortlessly, yet still has an idea of what to do on offense. I would definitely take him with the 16th.

 

My dad is a St. John's fan so I watched Harkless quite a bit this season, he has way more knack for scoring the ball than Ariza. In a game against Duke he almost single handedly brought him team from down twenty to win the game.

 

DLamb looks pedestrian. Shot looks decent enough, but nothing else is above average. Looks like Courtney Lee with average athleticism.


Not seeing why people are so high on Beal, at least for him to go top 3, maybe even top 5...Great shot, yes, but his handle doesn't look good enough to run point and he's short for a 2 guard. His moves don't looks extremely fluid or effective. What's up with that hitch he has when he shoots off the dribble? Is it suppose to be a fake


O'Quinn looks and sounds like an 8 year vet. His shot is effortlessly smooth. I'm guessing his impact will be at Udonis Haslem level, at best.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Melo shoot up to late lottery or just after. He's only been playing 6 yrs, moves well. His moves look predictable, but not mechanic. Could be a very nice player with more experience and an NBA strength and conditioning coach.

 

I agree 1000000000000%

I dont get why people are so high on Beal( is their something im not seeing in his game, that everyone else sees). I mean the Ray Allen comparisons are ludacris, even Eric Gordon is a bad comparison because people forget how athletic Eric Gordon was a prospect, and at Indiana.

Too me Bradley Beal is more like a cross between Hershey Hawkins, and Marcus Thornton


He is WAYYY overrated, and if the Cavs pick this kid, after the Tristan Thompson debacle( and not taking Jonas). I would feel bad for Kyrie

Stuff from the hornets247 blog on our possible 14th pick..

Tyler Zeller's face reminds me of somebody. A child actor on a TV show maybe, can't put my finger on it.


Edit: Found one comparison....

 

That video of Drummond is intriguing…It looks like he has improved his shooting mechanics -- higher release point and not so far out from his body…Good hands and mobility…I really don’t think he will bust as bad as Thabeet when you look at how much more coordinated and fluid he looks. If he drops to #5 and the Kings really don’t want him (like they’re rumored not to), I really hope we can package Lowry to trade up for him. I can understand the reservations, but if he pans out it will pay off huge for us. I would never badmouth McHale again if he could turn Drummond into a good starting C.

 

^^
Drummond lookin good in that workout.

 

I agree. He is 18, fixed his shot with-in the course of 4 months, and is a physical freak.. I'm sure he can learn to do a few post moves here and there over a short period of time. I think he is worth the trade off. However, I don't see us having a point guard once we trade lowry.. Because, Dragic is probably going to go to some other team.

 

I would trade Lowry's current known quantity for Drummond's potential, even if I knew Dragic wasn't coming back.

The workout video clearly showed all the good stuff, but it sure is some good stuff. I would trade a lot to move up to draft Drummond. Worst case scenario is a better DeAndre Jordan. Best case scenario is Dwight Howard. That may seem like a stretch, but he measured out across the board better than or on par with Dwight. They seem to have similar mechanics.

 

Agreed there!

If he's on the board at #5, we should trade whatever (almost) to the Kings to get him!

 

I'm started to be impressed with Henson a bit. He was free stroking the 3-ball. I like his defensive balance. He's just so so light. Scares me. But the skillset is there. I really think he'd be great paired up as a help defender with more of a big wide body defensive anchor like Cousin, kinda like OKC does with Ibaka. But he's much lighter than even Ibaka is. I'm coming around on him though.

 

I'm not sold on him or coming around, but think you're right on the pairing. Him alongside Cousins intuitively makes a little more sense than Drummond alongside Cousins... except for the fact that Drummond has a much much much higher upside.

 

I'm not sold....but I do see the potential. IF....only he had another 25 lbs on his frame and could maintain the same game.
