Jazz Pre-Draft Workouts 2015

[homeytennis]

I think it's a combination of both. Jazz get an idea of the type of player someone is, his athleticism, etc. via the workouts. Could be a deciding factor if there are 2-3 players they're considering for 10-days. This year there's an added reason to bring in a lot of players since the Jazz now have their own DLeague team.

Good article in the DN today about T.J. Price and Jeremy Evans and what a good guy Jeremy is and how T.J. wants to emulate him. Price had good stats at WKU.

Sounds like fluff. Bryce was brought up because he was doing crazy effeciency .473/.452/.900 for the Austin Spurs

There are a decent amount of dudes putting up very good stats in the D-League. Why didn't we get those guys instead? It's not just fluff.

From Lockes summary of Lindsey's radio bit this morning

https://weareutahjazz.com/lockedonjazz/2015/05/21/insider-dennis-lindsey-on-the-draft-process/

The crew is on the West Coast to see agent sponsored workouts. They are currently in Santa Barbara. Remember the Jazz have the strong tie with P3 where numerous draftees are working out including Kelly Oubre Jr.

Also...

More players than normal in the 12th spot are in play. That is what is unusual of this draft. Usually a tighter set of prospects

Harrison, Tokoto, and Rozier all had great combine workouts, wonder if they will be there in the 2nd round.

I think we forget these guys are people not just stats and measurements. It helps to have seen them face to face

 

[HighlandHomie]

Sign me up for Rozier if he's there 2nd round with our first pick.

Woooooowww JP Tokoto!!! I remember seeing his great dunks years ago. Did he do well in his last 2 seasons?
I'll be glad if we draft him. Based on the reports i read, he's a good defender and a below average shooter. Any thoughts?
