Jazz Pre-Draft Camps and Workouts

[mellow]

I know there is an "Offical Draft Thread" but rather than endless speculation about who the jazz will pick, I like to have a place to keep track of all the work-outs and interviews that happen before the draft.

• The NBA combine is over, the jazz had a chance to interview 18 players (I think) --intersting that Gordan Heyward was one of them. Does anyone know who else the Jazz interviewed?
  
  
• This week was the Minnesota workouts. Lots of 1st round bubble to undrafted guys there. Dave Freidman was there for the Jazz. Here is a list of players: https://www.ridiculousupside.com/2010/5/27/1489674/minnesota-nba-pre-draft-workouts
  
  
• KOC said that the Jazz will start bringing players in after memorial day--I haven't been able to find anything about WHO will be coming in.

I would want to see Greg Monroe, Cole Aldrich and Hassan Whiteside go head to head.

That would be head to head to head. Just to clarify.

Not if they take turns going head to head.

Now that's just silly.

Bring them...to the triangle court.

Still no announcement for Jazz workouts...they wait every year. Meanwhile, the Sac. Kings who are drafting #5 are working out all your favorite Bigs next week--Greg Monroe on Sunday, Aldrich, Orton, Patterson, Richards, Udoh & Whiteside on Tuesday.

Kings are not looking at Wes Johnson or Aminu? If they lock in on a big, can Aminu or Johnson fall to the Jazz? Would they even consider working out for the Jazz at #9?

Udoh mentioned in an interview that he's coming to Utah https://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/s...-off-made-me-realize-how-much-i-love-the-game

Just in time:

In preparation for the 2010 NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz will hold a pre-draft workout with Georgetown center Greg Monroe on Friday, June 4

Also, I agree this should be in the Official Darft Thread

Not if they take turns going head to head.

If they're gonna cross swords, I'm sure John A would be interested.

Greg Monroe works out alone--his agent, David Faulk, must not be letting him go against competition becasue Monroe is working out solo for Sacramento too.

[Stifle Tower]

Too scared toi workout against other bigs? Cross this pansy off the list.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

It's Falk, so it's not surprising. I wouldn't hold it against Monroe too much, probably just taking his agent's advice.

From Ross Siler (via Twitter):

Monroe seemed pretty polished and said there was nothing he'd rather be doing on 20th birthday than working out for NBA team.

Monroe on possibility of ending up in Utah: "I did like what I see. The people in the organization there’s no need to say anything about them, they’ve already established themselves."

Jazz have a big workout planned for Sunday June 6th.

Xavier Henry, Luke Babbit, Ryan Thompson, Damion James, Gordon Hayward and Aminu.

Jared Quayle from USU is working out on Wednesday.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

If Xavier Henry wows the Jazz, it'll be between him and Udoh if Udoh does the same when he comes in.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz have a big workout planned for Sunday June 6th.

Xavier Henry, Luke Babbit, Ryan Thompson, Damon Jones, Gordon Hayward and some others.

Jared Quayle from USU is working out on Wednesday--yawn.

Wish they could get Paul George in that group too.

I think you just invented a new way to play basketball. Trademark it now, before a Chinese guy flying a hovercraft does.
