Trish Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Might as well enter the process. Rojo can figure out what he needs to master before it gets real. I'd do the same. I expect all of them to come back. (Besides OG obviously lol) Class of '66 Old Fart and CR3AMnCR1MS0N 2 Quote

That could really screw someone's life up if they make a promise and don't keep it and no one else picks the guy in the 1st round. They do happen. I remember being at Tony Allen's draft workout in 2004 (I think) with the Celtics. He was considered a high 2nd round guy, and some had him in the late first. He came to Boston in a workout with a few guards, one of who was projected much higher (can't remember who, but we also had a late lottery pick). At the workout the guards the did a 1-on-1 drill where they had to defend each other from the baseline to half-court and try not to let the dribbler get by them. Well, Allen completely shut this other guard down. The guy couldn't get to half-court no matter how many times they went. You could see Ainge watching this and just knew we were taking him at 23 or 24 (can't remember what pick it was, we took Allen and Delonte West back-to-back) I bring it up because I could see Bryant going nuts shooting in a workout, and we know how NBA guys fall in love with 6'10" guys that can shoot.

Popular Post VO5 Posted April 11, 2017 Popular Post Posted April 11, 2017 Proud of all these guys. They're doing everything they can to fulfill their dreams. It sickens me when our own fans crap all over the players for wanting some feedback. I'm already seeing it on twitter and now on here. You guys would be doing the exact same thing in their position. lillurk, ramadden13, sirhoosierlot and 6 others 9 Quote

jgries84 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I hope all three unsigned players come back. I have to believe a year under Archie would make them better players and develop more of a team concept. Just feel there is a lot of unrealized potential.

Popular Post goonaha Posted April 11, 2017 Popular Post Posted April 11, 2017 Reading the replies to the IU Athletics tweet announcing this and I want to pull my hair out. So many casual fans that have no idea how the draft process works and just ripping their own players. Some fans. ramadden13, thebigweave, VO5 and 6 others 9 Quote

recker222000 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 The thing with Bryant is that it only takes one strong workout. If he goes and works out for some team in the late teens or 20's and on that paticular day he just goes off shooting in drills, as a 6'10" guy that can shoot he could secure a 1st round promise.
