     There is a link on the home page for an article stating he will be back in Atlanta for a second workout.

    Should we consider this a promise?

    Ive seen many different prospects over the years have two workouts with a team and NOT get drafted by them so I probably wouldn’t consider this a promise.

    I don’t know about promises but the Spurs would be great for him…

    He’d be a nice fit in Atlanta. The team passes well and Horford is one of the best post passers in the league. Lot of opportunities in the ATL. I just don’t know if he’d be a big point or a small forward. SF is the big hole in Atlanta’s last couple seasons… A guy like James Young would fit better imho.

     I think The Heat have lost there competitive advantage as The Big 3 salaries are increasing. They are taking up 90% of cap and only getting value from Lebrons play. Chris Bosh has had his role and numbers seem more like Marqueef Morris who could be had a little over 3 million, yet costs The Heat 20 million. Dwayne Wade is getting older and game has seem to decline rapidly while player like Lance Stephenson is rising and will probably surpass Wade this year. I believe that over the past 4 years they are worth every penny as they have brought Mickey Arison tremendous increase n franchise value and profits from four straight finals run. 

    I just don’t see them being able to beat the west as the Spurs, Thunder, Rockets, and Clippers are going to be younger, hungrier and more well rounded team come finals time. Even the Pacers and possibly the Bulls with Rose, Mirotic, and whatever offseason gains they get from cap space and 2 mid first round picks. The Spurs created the blueprint to destroy the current heat. Lesser talented teams can use this to limit top heavy teams by tiring out the star players and hoping there depth can overcome The Heats back 9.

    Am I the only one that thinks he fits very well with Chicago at 16? The Bulls are totally devoid of play makers outside Rose. They need someone who csn create shots for himself and more importantly others in a very bad way. Noah is great but they need some who can do it from thr perimeter. And if there’s a team his defensive deficiencies can be covered on its definitely the Bulls

    I think Phoenix would be good fit for him too. They got a plethora of scoring & shooting forwards and guards and I can see him fitting in well with their style of play.

      Agreed. They struggled mightily with Dragic/Bledsoe off the floor

     It will be intriguing to see if Boris Diaw’s Finals performance will increase Slo-Mo’s stock.  If Charlotte grabs a shooting guard with their first pick he would be an intriguing option with their second pick.

     I doubt he is a lock if they broughy him back in. Strong consideration sounds right. Teagues scoriing abillity would match up well with Andersons abillity to create. Millsap and Horford would also benefit considering how team oriented both players are. Anderson would be able to create some qaulity shots for all of those guys.

     Anderson and Lamar Patterson are personal favorites of mine. Playmakers with a great feel for the game but don’t have the typical NBA athleticism. Really hoping these guys go to teams who will get the most out of their skill sets

    The Hawks like him since they are bringing him back. Ferry wouldn’t waste his time if they weren’t intrigued with him after his first workout. I doubt he makes it past their pick at #15. Slow or not, the kid brings a LOT to the table on the offensive end and is being compared to Boris Diaw on Hawks boards. I hope he can somewhat make up for his lack of foot speed on defense with his length and wingspan like he did in college. I think the Hawks would probably prefer Saric, but know he may be gone by the time they pick.
