<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Grizzlies worked out Florida power forward Al Horford this morning at FedExForum. The media got to see a little bit more of Horford than we did of Mike Conley Jr. yesterday. Instead of just shooting free throws, we got to see Horford shoot free throws AND do a couple of tip drills around the rim. VERY revealing. Grizzlies director of player personnel Tony Barone said Horford has great footwork and soft hands and is a better shooter than most fans realize. He compared Horford to some of the usual 6?9? POWER forwards in the league ? Elton Brand, Carlos Boozer, even Paul Millsap. He also said Horford still has room to add bulk and strength to an already powerful frame. Barone said Horford was particularly thoughtful at the dinner he had with team personnel last night, eschewing the stock answers most prospects give. Horford is the third prospect in a row ? following Joakim Noah and Mike Conley Jr. ? the Grizzlies have worked out that is the son of a highly successful athlete and also a part of a highly successful college program. Barone said that lineage is not meaningless, citing the ?background of success? these players have and talking how watching their fathers having to work at being successful would has set a good foundation for the players? own work habits.</div> Source: Memphis Flyer
<div class="quote_poster">Mamba Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">VC should love that move!</div> Yeah, I think I've overdone it with expressing my opinion on Joakim Noah already, so I'm not going to do any more of that, but I will say that it'd be a horrible move for the franchise. With that said, I think the chances of the Grizzlies actually taking Noah are slim. There's probably about a 5% chance they don't take Horford or Wright.
