The Annual NBA Pre Draft Camp in Chicago Illinois kicked off today at ATTACK ATHLETICS Gym owned by the Famous Jordan Trainer himself......TIM GROVER......who trains some of the TOP NBA Players in the World.........list includes Corey MAGGETTE, Quentin RICHARDSON, Gil ARENAS, Tracy McGARDY, Will BYNUM, Dwayne WADE, and Evan TURNER ETC.
The DRAFT is for the TOP NBA Prospects to go through a JIB INTERVIEW sort of speak.......like DRILLS for Shooting/Dribbling........Individual Drills such as Speed/Agility Testing........and for most NBA Executives to put a FACE to the Game TAPE that they have been watching on these guys for months.
The ONLY TOP 5 Consensus Prospect that chose to work out and go through every drill was TURKEY Sensation and thought to be Kentucky WILDCAT BOUND PF/C ENES KANTER. He has been on the scene since a Nike Festival Showing against his age group of guys like Jared SULLINGER, Terrance JONES, Kyrie IRVING, and Harrison BARNES.........KANTER put up 33 and 10.
The NCAA ruled his amateur Status No good as the UK WILDCATS and Coach John CALIPARI would have had the FRESHMAN on their roster last year. So not having a lot of game tape on this KID the NBA Execs have moved in full force to watch this KID Work out and for the most part in what I saw he is a TOP 5 Player in this DRAFT.
Not overly athletic but very strong, excellent hands, nice BASKETBALL IQ, competes at a high level, can play back to the basket or face-up........and can step out 15-18 feet consistently and knock down SHOTS.
Top PROSPECTS not working out but getting a physical and measured:
Kyrie IRVING DUKE PG Consensus #1 Overall
Derrick WILLIAMS ARIZONA PF Sure fire TOP 5
Kemba WALKER UCONN PG A LOTTERY LOCK
Brandon KNIGHT KENTUCKY PG LOTTERY LOCK
Guys that made IMPRESSIONS ON DAY 1 and most LIKELY sealed their 1st round FATE
Marshon BROOKS Providence Shooting Guard
Kenneth FARIED Morehead STATE Power Forward
Charles JENKINS HOFSTRA PG/SG
Enes KANTER TURKEY PF
Shelvin MACK BUTLER SG
Jimmer FREDETTE BYU SG......may have moved UP...some like him a lot....and some don't at all
Notably Not INVITED 2 BIG 12 Guards Lacedareus DUNN BAYLOR........Jacob PULLEN Kansas STATE
DAY 2 NOTES FRIDAY
They always say it is not a series until the Visiting TEAM wins on the others HOME FLOOR.......that's exactly what the Miami HEAT did Wednesday NIGHT as thy had the BULLS STYMIED the whole 2nd half and most of the 2nd Quarter to come away with a big win in GAME 2 of the EASTERN Conference Finals.
It was a COMBO of WADE COUNTY and KING JAMES...with a SPrinkle of that PLAYOFF SPICE called U D............Udonis HASLEM......the Heat PF who missed about 65 plus games due to Foot Surgery this season came up BIG when the HEAT needed him too and played more minutes than COACH SPO would think he would play.
Now with the HEAT having no more surprises for the BULLS and the SERIES tied 1-1.......we get down to simply WHO WANTS IT MORE.....both TEAMS displayed WEDNESDAY why they were the 2 TP Defenses in the Association with some suffocating defense.
The BULLS now have the enviable task of going into South BEACH and at least having to get 1 victory,,,,,But the BULLS knew to WIN the Series they had to WIN in MIAMI at least once.
GAME 2 set for SUNDAY NIGHT on TNT.
