Jazz Pre-Draft Workouts 2015
- Thread starter mellow
- Start date
Odd traits for a coach's son. Usually they'd be more disciplined.
I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Looney is in the next workout. Jazz haven't announced anything yet, but I think I heard Looney say he was going to Utah after his Suns workout during a post-workout interview w/ Suns.

They announced another workout for tomorrow (Thursday) but haven't released names yet.
For today's....

Walt Perrin said today's group—Gary Bell Jr., Askia Booker, R.J. Hunter, T.J. McConnell, Shaquielle McKissic, Nick Paulos—shot lights out.
It was the best-shooting group the Jazz have had in a couple of years, Perrin said.
Aaron Falk @tribjazz
Hunter's the highest rated player to work out in SLC so far. Perrin: “Is he in our range at 12? We’ve still got three weeks to decide that.”Perrin would like Hunter to raise his release, but doesn’t have big concerns about his shot; showed quick release & NBA range in workout.

Great workout tomorrow:
If I was Looney's agent I'm not sure I want him working out against Portis. Looney and his conditioning/stamina issues vs a high motor dude.

Yet, it he did yesterday in Phoenix and will again tomorrow?
Anyone know where Cy is? Did he head out to the airport to watch for Portis?

Portis has a restraining order on Cy... after he got that shot of him in the cryogenic chamber things got weird.
It would be way cooler if Jazz actually let media view workouts. We could get way more info.
Looney vs. Portis should be interesting for our sakes.
They worked out vs. each other in Phoenix too. Seems like they are doing the tour together.

He was baking bagels down in the bayou.
Hunter: I missed 3 shots all practice...
Where did he say this? Would be epic if it's true.
"Kevon and Bobby battled against each other," said Suns Head Coach Jeff Hornacek. "That’s what you really want to see. These guys are probably going to battle against each other for years to come in the NBA…I think these young guys enjoy it. They want to do better than the next guy out there for draft positioning. They fight, they battle and they hit each other. We want them to play hard, to go ahead and crack each other. We don’t want anybody to get hurt, but we also don’t want to just go through the motions. Those guys really competed today."

at the 5:55 they ask him how did you shoot it today?
"I shot it decent. I think I got a little tired late. And throughout the competition(I would guess the 1-on-1 and 3-on-3 they do) I shot it really well, probably missed 3 shots in competition."
So he probably missed more during the Jazz 100 drill they do.
Hunter is at #24 on DX right now, we'll see, but I think #12 would be a little bit of a reach.
