DAY 1 of the Pre Draft CAMP of the NBA is more of putting a face to the RESUME' and you get to see what guys can do in Team Drills. Fast Forward to DAY 2 the pressure is on because it is YOU they will be watching closely as the Individual Drills take place but BUYER BEWARE.

I have seen this at the NFL Combine......the Athlete looks the PART and plays the PART really well in Combine Workouts.....then Fast Forward to when you DRAFT this GUY you say to yourself," I KNEW IT........the COMBINE WORKOUT KING.....that's it". So a lot of TEAMS have been warning their personnel Guys on don't get too overzealous over a WORKOUT....the EYE in the SKY will NEVER LIE........then GAME FILM or TAPE that is on these PLAYERS.

NOW DRUM ROLL PLEASE...................PLAYERS that made lasting impressions on DAY 2:

Enes KANTER: The only player in the COMBINE that was rated TOP 5 that worked out. Was an excellent shape and not overly athletic but solid post moves and Was on the GLASS very well. AS ADVERTISED....will be maybe #2 off the BOARD but not to MINNESOTA.........the T'WOLVES would be smart to move that PICK unless they can move up and get KYRIE IRVING.......and that won't happen.

Kyle SINGLER DUKE: Looked like one of the slowest players in the COMBINE. Hustled and defended and will be a middle to late 2nd ROUNDER..........Should've have left LAST SEASON........Looked LOST at times this year in the ACC

Kenneth FARIED Morehead STATE: Dominated in the POST....motor always running......a NBA -Ready Rebounding Machine but that's it.........terrible looking shot and has limited or no Offensive moves. Should still be a middle 1st ROUNDER

Lacedarius DUNN BAYLOR: Awkward looking SHOT very streaky....probably will get his shot late in the 2nd Round....one of the BIG 12 's Top GUARDS

MORRIS TWINS' Marcus and Markieff KANSAS: Looked really good and probably undersized Power Forwards........They have never played without each other...........seeing them play with the other not there will be worth the PRICE of Admission both Top 20 Picks

Çhris SINGLETON Florida STATE: Sneaky talented......long and athletic....reminds of the LAST FSU 1st Rounder Al THORTON except an NBA-Ready DEFENDER.....maybe sneaks into late 1st probably a early 2nd rounder

Tobias HARRIS TENNESSEE and Cory JOSEPH TEXAS: One and DONE.........Tobias will be an NBA 3 and a HYBRID 4 once he gets PHYSICALLY NBA READY....nice OFFENSIVE Game who is more comfortable on the perimeter 1st rounder

JOSEPH is not ready and will probably be joining the ROSETTA STONE Club.....MISTAKE 1...going to TEXAS........mistake 2....they will get a just as talented Guard in the Next CLASS behind you if they can.......like 2011 Findlay Prep OG Myck KABONGO that's probably why he left........BAD DEAL DAWG. Free agent

Jimmer FREDETTE BYU: we know he can shoot.........but can he defend and lacks over good athleticism but van TEAMS get more out of him than just SHOOTING the ROCK?.....HUNG JURY...Top 25

JaJAUN JOHNSON PURDUE: Won't get past the TOP 10 I don't care who says he isn't a LOTTERY.......Probably the most ready NBA Face-Up JUMPER you will find in the DRAFT is and so long and athletic...........TOP 10

Nolan SMITH DUKE: A 4 year player who has carved himself a place in the late 1st ROUND and won't get past the CHICAGO BULLS.......SMITH is a gamer and can play the NBA PG and is very good Defensively.....Him staying all 4 years solidifies his place as a guaranteed contract...I wish some guys would do the same.

Malcolm LEE UCLA: Another Combo Guard in a run of fabulous UCLA COMBOS' in recent memory........WESTBROOK, HOLIDAY, and COLLISON. A flat-out Player who towered over other PG'S as legit 6-5 Frame......an NBA EXECS were oozing at the mouth......a surefire 1st Rounder and his name will keep going up as the DRAFT NEARS.


A lot of HOPES and DREAMS for these PLAYERS......the only other impressions to make are DRAFT TEAM Invites..........like throwing a NEEDLE in a HAY STACK for some of these players..........Just keep the DRAFT Parties small and no FABRICATIONS........the BLUEDUDE is out......your 2011 NBA DRAFT Headquarters....right here and it's Free except BYOB
