Jazz Pre-Draft Workouts

From Locke:
"Just got my first "no comment" on the Kanter workout."

I can see why Locke was left out of the workout. Who wants to have the scouting report say, "Enes Kanter threw down 25 Big Hunks of Love in a row from the free throw line?"

Does [Brandon Knight] not want to play for Utah?

He is from Miami, his favorite team is the Heat. He wants to take his talents to Southbeach.

Ah crap! Jimmer time then?

i like kemba walker more than brandon knight. knight might have the better size and can become more of a pure point guard by time as kemba ever will, but kembas quickness and athleticizm is off the charts. you have to pair him with a point forward or a solid two guard that can pass the ball, so you let him play a little bit off the ball and he will be even more efficient. i'm high on this guy. but todays point guards are getting bigger and bigger... realistic case: a more athletic version of jameer nelson and his best case is allen iverson. i expect him to become a mix of this two players, while kemba will never be as good as an outside shooter as nelson...

 

[BENTLEY]

I like Kemba. But not with the 3rd pick. I'd rather take Fredette at 12.

The fact that the Jazz are spending 2 days in Chicago to spend time with Kanter 1-on-1, even after they already saw him workout individually, says something. Clearly he's on the short list.... or this is an elaborate smokescreen.

 

[Zerol]

Word is that the workout is actually today, not yesterday AND today as originally reported...

Brain Smith tweet
"Kanter's workout with Jazz was productive and went well. Focused on offensive game."

Huge news I know, Probably should start a few threads about it.

Jazz are handling the Kanter workout weird. Wondering if they are trying to bluff people.

Thank you for sharing. So much cloak and dagger going on around this workout.

Also from Brian Smith's twitter

As Fredette's draft stock rises, he said it's more important to him to land with a team that "fits" than to be selected as high as possible.

Sounds like Jimmer doesn't want his stock to rise higher than the Jazz.
