    Did we ever work out Collins? I know we worked Swanigan out.

    The only ones I'm even somewhat interested in are Frazier & Brunson... but I view both as early second rounders.

    I'd have a tough time using #24 on any of these players.

    Bates-Diop would not be a terrible pick at 24.

    NO mentioned going to a game or two at Gonzaga. I think they were sold on him well before the workouts and never worked him out.

    Gut still tells me these workouts are more for show/second round targets.

    I watched him live in the first 2 NCAA tournament games.

    I wasn't impressed with him. He has a good shot, but has lead feet.

    Not quick enough on either end to be a SF.... and maybe not even quick enough to be a PF.

    Besides hitting a few catch & shoot shots, he didn't really jump out as an NBA talent.

    Frazier is absolute garbage.

    I haven't been able to find enough game film on him to decide for sure.

    His athletic profile is amazing. It appears he has significantly improved his game over the last 3 years. He has a high TS%, but other metrics are a bit disappointing for an NBA talent.

    I thought he looked good in the combine scrimmage....

    Yeah he has too much spazz in his game for my liking. Mechanics from both the line and 3 don't have me very optimistic about his shot.

    Good length, rangy athlete and underrated ball skills though. Decision making might not allow him to make much use of them though.

    His shooting motion won't translate, and he's not quick enough to take guys off the dribble. I've read that he has serious character concerns as well.

    He's quicker than Swanigan and has a redeemable skill.

    Okobo has some Lillard in his game.

    Please give me feedback on the pace of this. I designed it so it wouldn't last forever but there's a ton of information, so I was thinking viewers could pause where they wanted to read on about something. Is that a good system, or should I drag the video out so you guys can read without pausing? Let me know!

    I too listened to that-don't remember it being a playoff game, but it was mostly Hollins-a quick shot, a steal on their in bounds play another bucket and foul shot-then if I remember-another steal and shot as time ran out-almost drove off the road!
