    Wasn't sure if there was a thread about this, so I just thought I'd post it in the workout one. It's interesting teams aren't willing to workout for them b/c of their young roster, which is a surprise considering Portland has been the most active team in recent drafts.

    We're saturated with young talent, there's very little incentive for a rookie to join a team like that because their prospects of carving out PT between the start of their career and the end of their rookie scale deal are a lot poorer than say if they were to go to an older team like San Antonio or Dallas or some other team with a lot of vets in their late twenties to early thirties. Nobody wants to get drafted and face the real likelihood that they are going to be a practice player or a low minutes backup for the next three years which all but guarantees their next contract is going to be small or not there at all.

    This is one of the several negative side-effects of having a roster so overloaded with youngsters and not more of an age spread.

    Ellington is underrated. A 6'5" James Jones.

    I wouldn't mind drafting Jerebko in the 2nd round and leaving him in Europe for a couple of years.

    That should be an interesting workout to hear about tomorrow with Hansborough and Collison.

    I know a lot of people hate him, but I love Portland picking up Tyler Hansbrough if we keep our current first round pick. The guy will be a great hustle guy off the bench and I bet will be a decent offensive rebounder. I know he is under sized, but he is decent at everything and great at hustle. With the 24th pick, we can get someone who will work hard to get better.

    Psycho T will be long gone before we pick, if we keep our pick. His predraft measurements were a lot better than most expected, making him not so undersized.

    He has also been killing people in workouts. Most now are saying he will go late lottery to mid teens.

    There is no way Tyler will be available when we pick at 24. If he were to be I would nab him in a hurry.

    I don't remember this being posted, and don't think it deserves it's own thread. A workout in New Jersey involving 36 players (no big studs, but some decent info):

    http://www.draftexpress.com/blog/Jonathan-Givony/#New-Jersey-Group-Workout-Wrap-Up-3259

    I'd definitely consider him in the 2nd round.

    Also kinda funny and still Harris related....
