Source says Iowa State F Royce White does not have a promise from Boston.
 
They can have White....... I don't want that sucka' on our plane freakin' everybody out!
 
^Shav Randolph used to make me nervous. He'd curl up in the fetal and rock back and forth........ right there on the damn plane.
 
Anyone concerned about Lillard's camp not letting him do any workouts with other prospects?

Somewhat, but everything that really concerns me about his game isn't going to be resolved in a 1-on-1 setting, it would take 5-on-5 or at minimum 3-on-3 to see if he can actually set people up and make them better. It would be nice to see how he stacks up individually in man-defense drills and whether or not he can hang and compete with other top guys, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see if he A) ends up a Blazer and B) can hang in the league.

Thanks for post (repped because of risk involved?)

With this tier group 6 and 11 kind of suck. I mean it is good to have 6 and 11, but if BPA is the theory going into the draft, there is a drop right at 6 and at 9.

I hope Ford is wrong with his groupings . . .

Edit: got to spread the rep around I guess

Wasn't a lot of this a part of what happened at the combine? He worked out both days against the whole pg group. I'd be more concerned about the other guys skipping the first day.

Ya but that was just drills. They hardly even went up against each other at the combine.
 
I know it's not draft-related....But....


Evan Dunlap: Per @Darnell Mayberry, there's "speculation" that Scott Brooks and Thunder could separate due to "holdup" in contract extension talks now

I honestly don't remember ... but I don't think they actually play games at the combine like they do at Portsmouth, it's mostly one-on-one drills and skills tests.

FYI: Harrison Barnes latest workout for the #Bobcats was seen as very impressive by new head coach Mike Dunlap. #NBAdraft
 
Rick Bonnell: Nothing about Thomas Robinson today dissuaded me from thinking he's the safest use of the 2nd pick. Other considerations, but he's solid. about 5 minutes ago

(in regards to today's workout in CHA)

Praying for this - Barnes at #2 would be huge for Portland. It means someone of more valuable to Portland will be available at #5, if not #6.
