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:

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

Shooting 18-ft. jumpers. He does have an NBA body and pretty easy shooting touch. I'm a bit surprised he calls himself a stretch-4. He's slipped down to #16 on DX, but has otherwise been as high as #11 on DX.

Just sayin, these threads can be shut down now because Davis aint going past 12.
 
Interesting. Jazz were apparently one of a few teams to attend a workout by Mindaugas Kuzminskas a few days ago. He has historically been a very good 3pt shooter (last season was not that great though). Also has some ability to make his own shot. However, defensive side of things he will find it very hard in the NBA. He is very slender. Might be a nice role player though.

Would love to hear pgab's thoughts on him...oh that's right, he ran off like a lil bitch.

He's an awesome shooter with terrible awareness on both sides of the floor. His defense in college was atrocious and he had the mentality of a 13 year old. He plays like he weighs about 50 pounds. If he's screened the other team will score. Anyone who has been in a weight room once can take him one-on-one. Great at canning open 3's tho.
