Draft Workouts

[Fez Hammersticks]

Marshall is not answering on "Portland go the bait". An inside joke with his friends, or something really embarrassing that he wish he would not have said.

Jailbait?

 

[Reep]

Pass on Marshall. He credits learning a lot from Felton.

Marshall - "I'd love to be here [in Portland], but ultimately, they're going to do what's best for their team." #tarheels #ripcitydraft

Marshall says he was a Saved By The Bell guy so he'd go with Kelly Kapowski over Topanga from Boy Meets World



As would I

ummmm....duh!?

 

[illmatic99]

It's as if these guys are trying to stay away from Portland on purpose.

Marshall said Felton owned him. Rivers talking about injured ankles.

RED FLAGS

that's it...no more Dance Dance Revolution for Austin until AFTER we draft him! /s

I still like Ross and Marshall the best out of this group. I like Rivers' demeanor, but his production and talent don't quite live up to the hype, and Wroten is intriguing but good-god his shot is fugly.

 

[Reep]

FWIW, Harkless looked decent out there. His three point shots were better than Rivers, not quite as good as Ross. He is supposed to be known for his motor and rebounding. He might be moving up.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Drummond or Lillard and Ross would be a good draft, IMHO. Re-sign Batum and Hickson, bring Freeland over and sign someone like Hawes or Dragic, depending on who you draft at #6

Harkless is gonna be a steal. Wouldn't surprise me to see Charlotte make a move to get him

Question on Ross. I love his shot and athleticism. But, he comes across in interviews as "awe shucks" type. Does he have enough aggressive play on the court? I would fear teaming him with an already too nice Aldridge, Matthews and Batum wouldn't work well.

My question is can he get to the basket? Can he create his own shot? If he can I have no problem picking him at 11. But if he can't then I don't want him.

Interesting listening to the interview with the NBAdraft.net guy. (A Syracuse Grad) His personal opinion on Waiters.....second round. Ouch

Cause he knows best how their guys pan out in the pros

This is going to sound homerific, but I think Ross' comp is a taller, 90% capacity Ray Allen who can defend. He doesn't drive a lot, but he has a nice midrange game and can absolutely stroke it from 3.

 

[BrianFromWA]

btw, I call B.S. on Marshall's love of Kelly. He was about 3 when that show was on. And if he's spent his time watching SBTB reruns instead of current shows or video games or basketball, then I don't know what to say.

 

[RR7]

Is there basketball on in the morning? he said he watched it before school from 6-7.

There's gotta be SportsCenter or something like that at least.

 

[Blaze01]

POR has the bait....I read that it means hot chicks....

 

[Reep]

I thought all you guys had up there was girls with no makeup and practical shoes? Maybe that is what Marshall likes.

hotties wearing crocs!

 

[illmatic99]

Marshall seems like a fun character.

 

[MickZagger]

I really like Terrence Ross at 11.

Or Marshall thinks the Portland girls look like smelt.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

How did Harkless look? Apparently he's a legit candidate at #8.

 

[MickZagger]

I like Harkless and Ross the best out of these prospect. Harkless is still very raw.

 

[Reep]

All I saw was the 3 pt shooting, but his stroke looked fluid and he was hitting maybe just short of 50%.

And Marshall's shot is gorgeous?
