RJ
Culver
Cam Reddish
and now Ja Morant
Am I missing anyone?
Leads me to believe we won't be trading down or adding any other first round picks
Yeah, you're missing the biggest name on the list, the "Tacko King" lol. I think we also worked the scrub brother of Tobias Harris. I think he might be worse than Chris Smith judging by his college stats.
Weird how few people we've worked out
Yeah, makes me think it really is AD, RJ or bust.
Has Deandre Hunter worked out for anyone? He’s been invisible the entire draft process- no interviews or anything. same with Garland, must have promises
Are teams, players supposed to announce all workouts and interviews?
No, but they usually leak or at least one team will publish their workout on Twitter. Initially it was thought Garland had a promise with the lakers, but I don’t see how if the lakers were always going to try and trade their pick for AD. Deandre Hunter left the combine earlier and it was speculated he had a promise

We have met with Tako Falls, right? I think there were other 2nd rounder names I dont remember now.

LaGerald Vick
Vick would be nice. I think he's a bit underrated. 3-D upside like Dotson.

He's more skilled than KP at this point, but nowhere as fluid, mobile or active.

I'd like to take a risk on him with a 20ish draft pick and envisage him as a 20min game bench player
keep those pants on to hide those legs.
His shot is smoother than I recall.
The workouts are one thing but that body against men is another.
I’m not a fan of his build being able to negotiate a skill level in the league.
I Ike the idea of Drafting RJ and signing Russell from nets. Good youthful injection. Redshirt Durant.
Another year to move the talent. AD is a nice thought but at what price.
Bol in the second round for me. If he is gone, He is gone.

Yes to RJ, Russell and getting another first rounder.
No to KD this offseason. Maybe next one after he picks his option with GS. and recovers.
Interesting, we've worked out/ are going to work out Garland:
So of the teams Garland has/will worked out for: Cavs, Knicks, Lakers, Bulls, Lakers no longer an option (maybe Pels bite- he'd be a good fit next to Holiday)
If Kawhi said he was leaving Toronto and they decided to blow it all up and rebuild, and you got a phonecall on draft night offering Pascal Siakam for RJ Barrett, would you say yes or no?

No way. Who doesn't like Siakam but he may have benefitted tremendously from being surrounded by a team where everyone on the court could score efficiently
