18. Shane Larkin, Miami, So., 5-11, 171 lbs., PG. 14.5 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 4.6 APG.
19. Dennis Schroeder, Germany, 19, 6-2, 156 lbs., PG. 11.9 PPG, 3.3 APG, 40 3PT%.
This really explains why everybody is putting Larkin at #14 and has Schroeder dropping. Larkin had his best workout with the Jazz and Schroder ironically was the one who struggled to play defense (what a concept?).
Larkin's worked out for the Celtics, Bucks, Jazz and Suns. He's got the 76ers and Mavericks this week. From the sound of things, it looks like his best workout might have been in Utah, though sources say the Bucks are very high on him at No. 15. That No. 14-16 range seems about right for Larkin. If he isn't taken there, the next team that really needs a point guard is the Jazz again at No. 21 (assuming they don't take a point guard at No. 14).
19. Dennis Schroeder, Germany, 19, 6-2, 156 lbs., PG. 11.9 PPG, 3.3 APG, 40 3PT%.
Schroeder is back in Germany after working out for the Mavs, Bucks, Celtics, Jazz and Rockets. Like Larkin, Schroeder's range now appears in the 14-16 window, with the Jazz, Bucks and Celtics all eyeing the point guard. However, sources say the workouts haven't gone particularly well for Schroeder, and he's struggled against the more physical defense at the workouts. "He looked frustrated," one NBA scout said of Schroeder's workout with his team. "His body language wasn't great. He's a very good talent and I wouldn't read too much into the workout, but it didn't really help him."
