I worry about Sabonis lack of athleticism. The Webb kid from BSU has been tearing up workouts. He shot 41 percent from 3 the year before and than went down to 29 percent last year. However, he said that he realized he had a flaw in his shot and has made adjustments to his shooting stroke. I would certainly look at him as a second round pick. He seems to have great size.
 
Brannen Greene might have had the worst college career for a guy who could legitimately stick in the NBA. Has NBA athleticism to be solid defensively, stick him out there and let him knock down threes. But will most likely just tear up the d league or Europe.

It's a small sample because Self hated him, but Geene's TS% was 75%. :blink: Dude is a pure shooter with range and a release that is quick enough and high enough to get shots up.

Would love to hear pgab's thoughts on him...oh that's right, he ran off like a lil bitch.
 
Deyonta Davis after the workout(almost as painful as Lyles' interview last year... ):
https://espn700sports.com/interviews/deyonta-davis-utah-jazz-pre-draft-workout-6-16-16/
Highlights:
-worked out with ONLY 3 teams(yet another player after Sabonis and Valentine to pick the Jazz on his very short list of teams to workout for, Nuggets is one of them, couldn't find the other one)
-they worked him out to see his shooting, floaters and finishing around the rim
-thinks he did great, showed he can shoot the 3(?!?)
-sees himself as a stretch 4(?!?)
-it will be a challenge but he can play 5 too.
-want to improve, all arund game, handle, stepping up on ball screens

Walt Perrin:
https://espn700sports.com/interviews/walt-perrin-utah-jazz-pre-draft-workout-6-16-16/

Highlights:
-he showed some stuff you don't see in Much State
-he did pretty well
-showed pretty good shooting touch from 18 feet in, showed potential to stretch it to NBA 3.
-in Mich st. he defended the post more, but his feet are quick enough to defend the pnr.
-agent wanted individual workout
-timeline quicker than Favors' on developing his jumpshot. It's better now than Favors' was when we traded for him.
-plays with more smoothness than Derrick, looks less energetic, but gets to his spot well
-competitiveness - he can get a bit better, needs to work on it, but he's a competitive kid
-passing - he's not a bad passer, but don't know if he's a good passer at the NBA level
-can get a bit stronger
-personality - quiet, reserved personality.
-can be good rim-protector at the next level
