Workout Comments/Reviews/Videos?

[GrandpaBlaze]

We have a butt-load of threads about players X, Y & Z but I see nothing that talks about individual workouts and comments/thoughts from them (either from y'all or from others).

Is anyone following that closely and can post who is working out when and comments, etc. on those workouts?

Asking for someone who feels too lazy to try and do all that research himself.

Blazers are not releasing info on workout participants until the morning of.

As far as other teams, hoopshype keeps a good tracker:

lots of workouts but I counted only 6 for top-20 prospects and Portland had 2 of those. A lot will be happening over the next 3 weeks. Scoot & Miller haven't worked out yet

There's a player called "Leaky Black"!?

Seems appropriate we would workout a player called "Nadir". He's a born Trailblazer!

 

[illmatic99]

Sean Highkin on his podcast said both Miller and Henderson will be coming in to Portland for workouts

Does this seem like more than they have worked out in recent years? BTW, thanks for posting that.

 

[Kell]

Emoni Bates, future Blazer.

Are they going on the same day and play one on one?

Probably different days. Scoot is in today

This guy, Kobe Brown, might be interesting in 2nd round, strong, 250 lb., very energetic, high IQ . improved to 45% on threes in his senior year. concerns he might be tweener on defense, since he is only 6'8".

Anothe PF who is projected to go in second round. deadly close to the basket, not so much elsewhere. 2 inches taller than Brown,
"The defensive side of the ball is where he thrives. It’s the versatility that pops, as DaRon Holmes is a great rim protector but can also hold his own on the perimeter against quicker players. He’s disciplined on that end of the floor and has all of the tools to thrive at the next level."

I'm just looking at PF's today. this guy also projected second round.
The Dayton big Toumani Camara
was the clear best prospect in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament in April. His ability to blow-by bigs, perimeter skill, and ambidextrous finishing made him a mismatch nightmare for opposing defenders. He’s an explosive finisher around the rim with the ability to stretch the floor. He defended well and had some nice passing flashes that we didn’t get to really see at Dayton.

I already root for him. Hope he lands in Portland and develops a nice relationship with Dame. He sure could help the team down the line. The timeline question is central. But if he is our guy, we should go all in to land him. Promise him that we pick and make him cancel his workout in Charlotte.

I don't see Cronin closing the door on trade possibilities. I mean what if the 6ers call about Embiid? But I love the idea of trying to force Scoot here.

I think you are right. But in the end I don't see #3 landing us a MVP caliber player like Embiid or Giannis. That's why forcing the hand on our prefered draftee could be a nice option. Especially if Scoot is also all in. There is less incentive for Charlotte to try and draft him. Maybe they can try a countermove with a swap #3 + 2 2nd rounders for #2.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Scoot is gone at 2

 

[HailBlazers]

Scoot is gone at 2

I believe it

 

[Predator]

Scoot is gone at 2

Hope so.

Looked like a pretty crowded gym for his workout. Hadn't seen other vids to see if it was as crowded there.

 

[LayneStaley]

Has Miller worked out for anyone?

 

[Natebishop3]

Scoot is gone at 2

So you think that the report that the general consensus among GMs was that Charlotte would take Miller is no longer true?

 

[blazerfan11]

Has Miller worked out for anyone?

His workouts may be affected by his recovery from mono.


Givony and Jeremy Woo later provided more details (via ESPN):

“It’s unclear what type of workout Miller — who was recovering at home in Nashville, Tennessee, from mononucleosis while his peers were training for the pre-draft process — will be able to conduct on his visit to Charlotte. Miller has lost 13 pounds and hasn’t had much basketball activity since the season ended, his agent, Wilmer Jackson, confirmed to ESPN.”

It won’t be an easy path for Miller to dominate a workout while recovering from mononucleosis, which may result in profound fatigue.

I think Houston or Toronto move up

 

[Natebishop3]

I think Houston or Toronto move up

I was wondering if maybe we wanted to convince Charlotte that we don’t like Miller so that they feel confident to move back to 4th and then Miller drops to us.

Sean Highkin: The Blazers are working these prospects out today: Colin Castleton (Florida), Kaodirichi Ehiogu (Memphis), Cam Henry (Indiana State), Jarkel Joiner (NC State), Kevin Obanor (Texas Tech), Malachi Smith (Gonzaga)

I find it alarming that we've basically worked out Scoot and the Thompson twins... and total scrubs. Where is Anthony Black? Jarace Walker?
