    It's an important draft workout when Blazers owner Paul Allen attends. The big man is in the house today to watch G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

    Still remember when he was in awe of Martell Webster's workout (as was most everyone else).

    I wonder how much value teams put give these workouts. I hope not much . . . maybe more on the interaction they have with them to gauge their personality and if they would be a good fit for the Blazer organization.

    Too much value (at least in the past) if you go off my Martell Webster mention.

    Kentavious Caldwell-Pope said today's workout w/#Blazers is his second, already went to Minny. Said he has seven more on tap.

    Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes 3m
    I asked G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope if he was nervous with Paul Allen watching him. He said he didn't even know he was there, was focused.

    You literally couldn't give a better answer to that question

    Kentavious Caldwell-Pope went out to dinner with members of the #Blazers management team last night. But owner Paul Allen did not attend.

    Pope sure seems a lot like a slimmer Wes Matthews. Would be great off the bench, but seems a bit of a reach at 10. Maybe they think they can get a later pick for $$. He does post very nice rebounding and steals numbers.

    Here's a rough draft of the latest DraftExpress mock draft. Quite a few adjustments from the last one two weeks ago: http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2013/ …

    I knew Larkin would be one of the fast risers.

    Thunder working out Pittsburgh C Steven Adams. He's definitely a draft candidate for them at 12. May not last that long, though.

    I think he'll sneak into the top 10.

    Isn't he a turn over machine? Some of these centers I was reading about (Gobert, Adams) are horrible passers. Those skills don't always improve. That is a concern if they want to play big minutes.

    He is but I attribute that to just how raw he is. Only 19, he has Greg Oden size. Their combine numbers are nearly identical.
