Pre-draft workouts

Workout experts - could you confirm whether we've had Kevin Huerter or Chandler Hutchinson in for a workout? They're #21 and #22 on the Ringer Mock.. would be really strange if we haven't had those guys in this close to the draft.

We haven't had either one in for a workout. Huerter was scheduled but had to cancel, possibly due to his hand. Hutchinson hasn't done very many workouts. It's been reported for a while that Hutchinson got a promise from someone in the first round so I think he shut down workouts after that happened.
 
Walt Perrin has done tremendous job arranging all those workouts. This is yet another one with all players being draftable and 4 of them with a chance at a 1st round selection.

Any chance the Jazz could still select him even though the Jazz didn't bring him for a workout. Looking at www.nbadraft.net he seems to be moving up in the 2nd round around 33 or 34 overall.

There's always a chance. They didn't work Exum out before drafting him and I don't think they worked Hood out either.

The Ringer had Huerter at #21 and Hutchinson at #22, right smack in our pick's range.. and yet we have not had them in.

Not sure you can call that a 'tremendous' job... decent job, maybe, but I can't give him full marks.

We had a workout arranged with Huerter but he got injured and pulled out. Hutchison hasn't worked out for anybody since he supposedly got a promise at the combine, so I don't know how you can blame Walt for not getting him.



Even if he couldn't get them for other reasons, I don't think you realize how hard it is to arrange all those players being available at the same time and being able to match them against players that make sense. You will never get everybody you wanted to get for a workout. Almost every workout Walt has arranged has been great when you look at the names and the matchup fits.

Lol.
You can only get in the players who want to visit. If Hutchison and Huerter didn't want to visit, F them and move on. You save the hassle of players who don't want to play in Utah and would arrive with a bad attitude.

Both Perrin and DL said today that usually there are 6-8 players in consideration at our pick, but this time there are "at least double that". This means:

1. that we will have a good choice of players at 21
2. I wouldn't be surprised if we either trade back in order to get two picks in the range that encapsulates those 12-15 players we might like(something like 21 for 26+38 from Philly or 21 for 30 and 34 and future second from Atlanta)... OR we might try to trade up in the second round or buy a second round pick in the early 30s.

I was saying this a while ago and was scolded and told DL finds his guy then goes and gets him... it seems sometimes that is not true and this draft we may view the 20s and 30s as a big tier that we need to try and get two bites at the Apple.

I’ll add he also arranged some good matchups too.

Huerter canceled because he flew home to be with his parents as he decided to declare for the draft or not.
