Running list of prospects meeting/working out with Portland

Was Harvey supposed to be good?

 

He was the leading scorer on his team, the Washington Bullets, before coming to Portland.

 

Good numbers on a bad team. I distinctly remember “Snapper” warning against that when the trade was made

 

The only difference is that Jerami looked pretty good for Denver before he took his payday.

 

He has The Bubble to thank for that.

 

Never heard of him.

 

Grant to me is our Andrew Wiggins. He’s a piece, but not THE piece

 

huh, guess something changed between Austin's report and Casey. Guess more are coming.

 

If we're having Banchero come out, something might be brewing.

Nevermind, I read it wrong.

 

guessing some combo of davis/dieng/agbaji

 

Yeah I didn't read the full tweet and I thought that was a list of players coming out.

 

I used to love this type of confidence, but alas, there’s a lot of counter examples as well:

Looks like the team held a sorta under-wraps workout yesterday, but it got out.





Minott is the guy who Hollinger put in his top 10, but probably will go second round. Gillespie also interesting (he also posted it on his own IG). But who else was there yesterday that the team does not want to publicize?

 

Minott is a very athletic wing who D69 identified going in to this last season as someone he thought had the tools to be very impactful. He didn't pan out nearly to expectations and his 3-pt shooting was atrocious. That said, there are still a lot of things that he has the ability to do well if he can develop.

 

his bounce and athleticism stood out to me in the games i watched while doing a deep dive on Duren.

i like him and Procida as second round prospects.

 

Procida in the 2nd round would have me waving my Italian flag around like an overcaffeinated Jack Haley!!

 

who are D69's guys in the #7 range?

 

In another post he said Daniels, Sochan and Sharpe (at the time).

 

He hasn't spent as much time on it this year because he thinks the pick will be traded. He is looking more at guys later in the Draft that he thinks are undervalued. One of those was Procida who until a month or so ago, wasn't even in the 2nd round of some Mocks. Now he is up to early 2nd round and possibly even late 1st round.

Other 'sleepers' he likes are Moore, Minott, Kamagate.....depending on where they are selected. Thinks guys like Nzosa and Badji are athletic freaks that need better coaching and are worth a shot at in the late 2nd round. Nzosa was a projected high Lottery pick coming into this season.
