Jazz Pre-Draft Workouts 2015

[Elizah Huge]

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.

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.

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?

He was baking bagels down in the bayou.

One should just go Tonya Harding on the other and that will settle the matter.

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.

Randy Rigby on 1280 moments ago talking about value and draft picks. Particularly capturing value from a pick if you can get a player you value higher with a later pick, how to capture the difference with your pick. Or to put it bluntly. Trading down.

Michael Scotto: Utah Jazz will bring in Bobby Portis, Kevon Looney, Pat Connaughton, Andre Hollins, Malcolm Miller and Deonta Stocks for a workout today. Twitter @MikeAScotto

Or trading in for a pick, doesn't have to mean we trade 12 to get into a later spot in the draft.

Walt Perrin after today's workout:

Highlights:
-All prospects did well and had no problems with fatigue(including Looney)
-Looney shot well, probably is better at that than Portis right now
-Portis' shot would need some tweaks and adjustments... showed he can move his feet in D, needs go get stronger.
-Looney had an advantage in one area on the floor and Portis had an advantage in another area
