its on tomorrow as well at the same time.

No one looks particularly impressive but you can't really see much with people doing little drills and stuff. ONe thing is notable though, Kenneth Faried is pretty physical with this bunch. He is fighting for position on the drills with lots of energy and aggression. theres added flare because his dreads are flying all over the place.

The commentators are talking about him now. They think other players parents want him to cool it off because as they said "he's playing at level 11". He is playing pretty physical, and these are just drills.

Having said that, he did a drill and shoot from about 15 on the elbow and missed the entire rim and hit the backboard. He's shot a bunch of jumpers and i've only seen 1 go in. He'd be perfect off the bench playing alongside Brook lopez or Al Jefferson.

So far pretty much all of the guys I have seen need to add size to their frames. the MOrris twins have nice size, but most of these guys are thin.

Jon Leur can shoot really well at 6-10. He's made most of his shots I've seen him take. D'antoni would cream himself. He's not skinny, hes got a fram that could be big. He's built a bit like tyler hansborough minus the muscles.

Faried ran a drill where he posted up and he shot an airball. THan Jajuan Johnson posted him up and scored easily over him.

Talking about Bismack Biyombi: Hes got an NBA body and but he played well in one game, he has no offensive game, he is a re bounder and shot blocker only. one of them said they've seen every game he's played. He's not like Ibaka. He cannot dribble the ball, cannot pass the ball, he can run and dunk. He is a mystery.

The Centers are about to workout. Ines Kanter and Jordan Wiliams are 2 I saw lining up. Apparently I caught the tail end of the 3's I've seen all of the 4s and here come the bigs.

Faried says he wants to emulate Paul Milsap and Dejuan Blair in the league. Undersized guys who play with energy and arent afraid.

Ben Wallace never was able to shoot, but he did ok for himself.

I like Johnson. Hes very long and skilled. hes very under rated for this draft. He looks almost 7 feet tall and avg 21-8 in the big ten. Some of the games he and towards the end were sick--7 blocks 17 rebounds etc... hes certainly has to be on the Knicks radar. hes almost perfect for this system.
In terms of bigs we can get I think Id pick him 1. hed be good backing up amare and taking some minutes off of him & maybe playing with him a tad,

Im probably in the camp of J Johnson M Brooks(Josh Howard clone) I dont know if I want a player who isnt ready to go. We need guys who can play now. Ballers

Jeremy Tyler looked smooth shooting the rock. he's 19, and 6-11. Has some major baggage. but he looked damn good shooting that 18 foot jumper. It was all net like 5-6 times in a row.

Jeremy is probably the best big prospect that we will see when it's our turn to pick and I'm tempted to take him. There will be a bunch of guard prospects available later in the draft. It might be in our best interest to to try and snag another pick and try and pick up a guard later.

My uncle was a drunk who worked 35 years and now is retired with a great pension. Doesn't mean I should be a drunk.

Faried aint Ben Wallace

I love what Faried has shown but I am scared to death in picking him because of the lack of height. I want the basketball gods to help us and let Jimmer fall to 17.

I watched some of it yesterday. Some of these guys seemed more concerned with their dunks than the drills.

You'd need an Independence Day style alien attack on Salt Lake City to happen in order for the Jimmer to fall to us. Even then, you'd still have to cross your fingers.

Tobias Harris looks in better shape than he did at Tennessee. I still don't know what position he'll play at the next level. He also measured in at only 6'6", which kinda limits his ability to be a combo forward.

Kanter looks really impressive. The dude measured 6'10" without shoes, 255 pounds , with a 7'1" wingspan (just in case you're lurking Jay Bilas). The guy is running up and down the court pretty easily and he's not getting too winded. I can't say it's clear cut who the number 1 overall will be.
