I wonder... do they think they can hide him even in the private workouts with the teams and hope to get drafted in the first?

I don't think it's about hiding, it's just that most of the guys who are playing are 2nd round picks and it's not organized. The odds are you are going to look worse than looking better given the format.

For a lot of people him playing in a 5x5 unorganized scrimmage would be their first impression of him. That's a huge chance for a big negative.
 
I think it's crazy for a guy like Evans to play, but at least if he does bad it won't be that big of a deal because teams have 3 seasons of seeing him playing.

If Simons plays poorly it's a much bigger impact since all you have on him is high school and AAU play.
 
Jevon Carter looks good in the scrimmage - very disruptive on D, knocking down shots off the dribble too...
 
Doncic might not come over this year...

I would use #21, the non-guaranteeds, take back a bad contract, add a future top 5 protected 1st, whatever to get him if he drops a little bit. If he would want to play with us, he might come right away. If he doesn't, that's okay too as long as he comes next year or by 2020 at the latest.
It's amazing how much of a fuss from nothing the US media can generate. The guy is still playing games and has final 4 tournament starting tomorrow. What do you want him to say? "Oh, sure, I'm out on Monday." the day before his most important games of the season with his current team? Of course he will say he will make decision after the season. Don't buy the stupid narrative generating machine that is ESPN. He will play in the NBA next year.
