    Group workout for Shaedon...? Hopefully we get lucky with some good video.

    Sochan and Terry are interesting guys to see him match up with.

    Sharpe did a "group" workout in Charlotte too. They were all in the gym on the same day, but the extent to which they worked out against each other is unknown.

    Regardless, that is a terrific crop of defenders for Shaedon to go against.

    Awesome that we were able to bring em all in together.

    maybe I'm naive and this is all just deflection and leverage plays, but does it make much sense for the Blazers to be bringing in all these players for workouts, including a bunch of the green room invites, if they were determined to trade the pick?

    if taken at surface value, this is just due diligence.

    Correct, due diligence. Blazers get a chance to meet the players, get a feel for personalities as well as get a first hand look at their game, coachability, etc... By doing this they have a frame of reference to determine not only if they would draft them, but if they would be interested in trading for them or as a free agent in the future. Getting as many players in as possible is extremely important.

    If they weren’t bringing players in for workouts this place would be burnt to the ground lol.

    They may be determined to trade the pick, but as Cronin apologists have mentioned multiple times, "it takes two to tango." There's no guarantee that they'll be able to trade the pick for an acceptable return...and even if they do, it will almost definitely be in July. They would be foolish not to ensure that they pick the most acceptable player they hope to not have to keep.

    Good group. Butler is intriguing if we had a later pick. If he fell to #36, would absolutely look at him there.

    Butler is the skinnier, less-talented version of Chet. I'll pass.

    hey I don’t disagree I’m just saying you gotta at least bring them in for a workout. Sharpe is really an unknown…I think it’s important to get eyes on him.
    Could you imagine if we weren’t bringing in players for workouts?
    We would see comments like:
    “Are you kidding?? Not even as a smoke screen!!”
    “How lazy is sleepy joe!!”

    Sochan is ready to be an immediate starter.

    TBD on Shaedon.

    I think we've gotten every guy projected 6-12 in house.

    The top 3 + Ivey/Murray/Davis missing.

    Agreed assuming he can hit a wide-open jumper.
