Since Portsmouth was going on I figure maybe we should make a thread to discuss them. I'll post all the links to the draft express articles on Portsmouth and Orlando Pre-draft camps. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Most of the headline players that were suppose to be at Portsmouth dropped out, so there isn't quite as many known names at this camp this year. These are the guys that ended up dropping out: D.J. Strawberry (Maryland, SG) Engin Atsur (N.C. St., PG) Quinton Hosley (Fresno St., SF) Reyshawn Terry (UNC, SF) Trey Johnson (Jackson St., SG) J.R.

Guys like Deshaun Woods, Ayinde Ubaka, and Zabian Dowdell have all made their names known so far. Woods has been the best by far, he played for Wright St. this year and his team beat Butler three times this year, as he out dueled A.J. Graves. So he's no pushover and he's proven it so far in this camp. Ayinde Ubaka squared off with Woods in day 2 and that has been the best match-up all tourney long. Ubaka and Woods both put on a show but Woods team won I believe Zabian Dowdell has quietly gotten him name into GM's head with his brilliant play so far. He sort of fizzled out during the NCAA Tourney but has showed up for this camp.
Well I think we found the next Steve Nash guys, DaShaun Wood is at it again. He's tearing up Orlando just like he did at Portsmouth, but much more competition this time. I can't wait until the team workout starts......
