2016 Draft Workouts!

MVP said:
It's not Sabonis who beat the Jazz in those playoff series. Sloan, Malone and Stockton all started going downhill in 1998-1999. Our bench was crap as well. Portland was just better, plus Bryon Russel missed two free throws in the end of the game 5 which would have send Jazz home with a chance to force game 7.

Of course the Sabonis we saw in the NBA was the post injury Sabonis. To bad we never saw him during his prime. He is now the president of Lithuanian basketball. Already qualified for the Olympics. Baby Sabonis has a good chance of making the team I would say.

All I want for him is a good fit. Jazz and Raptors are the best fits for him in his draft range. Chicago or Boston would be ok...and lets hope he won't end up in Sacramento mess.

Are you Lithuanian? I have a good board for you to be on if you are.

I worry about Sabonis lack of athleticism. The Webb kid from BSU has been tearing up workouts. He shot 41 percent from 3 the year before and than went down to 29 percent last year. However, he said that he realized he had a flaw in his shot and has made adjustments to his shooting stroke. I would certainly look at him as a second round pick. He seems to have great size.

Brannen Greene might have had the worst college career for a guy who could legitimately stick in the NBA. Has NBA athleticism to be solid defensively, stick him out there and let him knock down threes. But will most likely just tear up the d league or Europe.

It's a small sample because Self hated him, but Geene's TS% was 75%. :blink: Dude is a pure shooter with range and a release that is quick enough and high enough to get shots up.

Would love to hear pgab's thoughts on him...oh that's right, he ran off like a lil bitch.
 
Deyonta Davis after the workout(almost as painful as Lyles' interview last year... ):
https://espn700sports.com/interviews/deyonta-davis-utah-jazz-pre-draft-workout-6-16-16/
Highlights:
-worked out with ONLY 3 teams(yet another player after Sabonis and Valentine to pick the Jazz on his very short list of teams to workout for, Nuggets is one of them, couldn't find the other one)
-they worked him out to see his shooting, floaters and finishing around the rim
-thinks he did great, showed he can shoot the 3(?!?)
-sees himself as a stretch 4(?!?)
-it will be a challenge but he can play 5 too.
-want to improve, all arund game, handle, stepping up on ball screens

https://espn700sports.com/interviews/walt-perrin-utah-jazz-pre-draft-workout-6-16-16/

Highlights:
-he showed some stuff you don't see in Much State
-he did pretty well
-showed pretty good shooting touch from 18 feet in, showed potential to stretch it to NBA 3.
-in Mich st. he defended the post more, but his feet are quick enough to defend the pnr.
-agent wanted individual workout
-timeline quicker than Favors' on developing his jumpshot. It's better now than Favors' was when we traded for him.
-plays with more smoothness than Derrick, looks less energetic, but gets to his spot well
-competitiveness - he can get a bit better, needs to work on it, but he's a competitive kid
-passing - he's not a bad passer, but don't know if he's a good passer at the NBA level
-can get a bit stronger
-personality - quiet, reserved personality.
-can be good rim-protector at the next level

Shooting 18-ft. jumpers. He does have an NBA body and pretty easy shooting touch. I'm a bit surprised he calls himself a stretch-4. He's slipped down to #16 on DX, but has otherwise been as high as #11 on DX.

Just sayin, these threads can be shut down now because Davis aint going past 12.
