Official Jazz workouts thread

Steve Luhm @sluhm Jazz will work out six players Wednesday: Lorenzo Brown, Reggie Bullock, Shane Larkin, Tony Mitchell, Amath M'Baye, Malik Story.


Lorenzo Brown, intersting guy. Mocked at 41 on DX. PG 22 yrs, Jr. 6'5"; 190 N.C. State 6'7" wingspan. Averaged over 7 assists, but only 27% from 3pt. "DraftExpress: Lorenzo Brown still doesn't seem to have the strength & toughness needed to finish plays inside the paint. He's 22 already so will it come?"2012-11-27 Also, PKM may be interested to know that Lorenzo had some of the smallest hands at the Combine.


Reggie Bullock, projected around the 21st pick. 6'-7" sf from North Carolina--He should be good because UNC only recruits the best athletes and holds them to high standards.

Shane Larkin, Ya'' know too well.

Tony Mitchell, 21 yr old sophmore From north texas. Falling in the Mocks (if that means anything). Super athletic, maybe not so motivated.

Amath M'Baye, PF 23 yrs, Jr. 6' 9" 215lbs. ranked as 91st prospect on DX. I hope the kid graduated. Spent two years at Wyoming, sat a year then 1 at the OK Sooners. He is from france so maybe he goes to Euroball to play.

Malik Story. is a 23 year old 6 foot 5 inch 218lb from Reno. He shot more 3pt attempts than 2pt attempts last season.


It seems Larkin already has one fan among the Utah Media.

That tweet just put Shane Larkin on my mock draft board. Can he play? Who cares. Just pick someone who is a good quote.

as someone who wants the jazz to draft tony mitchell, i think he should leave his 3point attempts and shot in North Texas, we need rebounds, steals, defense and for him to run the lanes on the break

Tony Mitchel, and his crazy athleticism, had one of the slowest 3/4 court sprints at the combine.
 
And Mitchell's shot is being overrated. He had one decent season against inferior competition.. and it seems all we remember is mid-way through that year when his numbers were like 39% or something... but not reflective of a true body of work.
 
I'm not suprised the Jazz are bringing in Mitchell, a few years ago KOC basically said that draft workouts were partially for PR to show the fans they are bringing in guys who are supposed to be in their range. But I would be incredibly suprised if the Jazz drafted him because just last week it was Lindsey( I think) who was saying that if there was one quality or trait or issue that was a non-starter for the Jazz it would be work ethic.
 
June 5th Workout Report

Sounds like the workout was really long.

Long, long, long Jazz pre-draft workout continues. Just talked Civil War/Gettysburg/Abraham Lincoln with @DavidDJJames

Mike Sorensen ‏@sorny8 56m Here at Zion's Center for Jazz workout. Closing in on 90 minutes and still no sign of any players to talk to. These guys must be good!

Guess the Jazz had more than just coaches and managers there today:

Some notes on the players working out today (mostly on Shane Larkin so far)

Steve Luhm ‏@sluhm 19m
PG Shane Larkin highest-rated prospect to work out for the Jazz so far. Polished. Well-spoken. Says he'll be good in community.

Austin Horton ‏@austinhorton 10m
Just got done with Shane Larkin interview scrum, compared his game to Ty Lawson's. Says Jazz fans would like him on and off the court.

Jarom Moore ‏@jarommoore 9m
Shane Larkin gets it. Humble kid, likeable personality, good community guy, he is short, Walt Perrins kept smiling while taking about him.

Steve Luhm ‏@sluhm 12m
Also working at the Jazz practice facility: Derrick Favors.

Larkin is listed at 5-11, which I believe is legit. Have talked to many alleged six-footers over the years who are not as tall.

EDIT- You beat me by 2 mins.
