Alright J.G., thanks.
I gave draftexpress a bit to much trust to be up to date.
And there is still time.
But there have been less top name 1 on 1s than I’d expect by this time.

Haha! Great find.

Reminds me of:

Wow, I was just looking through draft stuff and thinking about the “Next” article and came across something crazy. First, Jordan Hill is considered similar to Ronny Turiaf. That’s cool, he’s the next Ronny Turiaf. Then I go down and see Gani Lawal. In similarities, it lists none other than Jordan Hill. Gani Lawal is the next Jordan Hill everybody. We gone so crazy with this thing that we are using people in the SAME DRAFT CLASS to compare their NBA futures. Just wow!

Harden has already worked out for Sacramento and will be working out for Memphis and OKC next week.

And BJ Mullens and Dejuan Blair have already worked out with the Thunder in private workouts (they were here Friday, June 5th).

Seems draftexpress needs to update their system, pronto.

@Doug
Harden’s 6’5. Nice to see your paying attention though.

And, gee, let me think, you know I seem to remember a 6’5 SG being picked third overall fairly recently who turned out to be pretty freakin’ good. Oh, that’s right, it was 12 months ago.

I mean…Wow.

Based on what draftexpress is showing Rubio and Thabeet and Harden have worked out for nobody and time is slipping away. Curry may have been seen in a group workout but hasn’t had an one on one with the Thunder. Neither has Hill, Evans, Flynn, Holiday, Jennings, Henderson, Blair or Johnson, Lawson, Mullins, Clark, Hansbrough, Maynor, Teague, Young, Lawal, Budinger, etc. at least yet and known to draftexpress. DeRozan and T Williams have. I assume some to many of the above list were seen in group workouts. Private Workouts are not essential but were and probably still would be pretty normal. There is still time for some but Presti might have decided to leave the league guessing.

@Doug Thabeet...haha Please make a logical reason for your statement. When Thabeet went up against a solid center, how did he play? I keep rereading your comment and it just gets dumber each time. Due to Rubio being the #2 on the big board he would take Rubio if available. @Pennington I don't want Boozer anywhere near our team... Personally I'm dropping Thabeet out of the top #10. Time will prove it. He gets to camp in the paint in college and he won't get to in the pros. Which is exactly why he would show his speed at the combine. (He's a big slow stiff)

@Doug
Hmm… I don’t really see your point here. I, among many, many people have OKC taking James Harden. And most of those people are far smarter than I.

Heck, Ian Thompson (who I believe gets paid by Sports Illustrated) has OKC taking James Harden. And also, maybe you missed it – Ricky Rubio is still ranked second in our big board, meaning that if he were available at three, that’s who I would take.

I hope you do not get paid for writing this. Are you serious. A 6’4 two guard with the three pick overall?? Or the circus act Curry??? I can see your new at this. I hope as a Kings fan and/or Wizard fan, that OKC is dumb enough to let either Rubio or Thabeet fall to 4 or 5
