Portsmith Invitational First Day Recap..Covington,Clyburn & Hagins are the most Impressive

I know Covington is talented. He was a 2nd rounder before the injury, so he probably should be a 2nd rounder after the injury. I just don’t know where to slot him, mainly because I didn’t see much of him at all, so I don’t know how he stacks up.

Cooley is dominating the glass through two games. He’s late 2nd/undrafted range but he has the bulk and strength to rebound in the NBA and I think he’s worth a pick in the 50’s. The Portsmouth should help his stock and if he is 6’9” in shoes I think he has a strong chance of being picked. If he’s one of those guys who is closer to 6’6” or 6’7” then I think his chances go down, but he could play a role similar to a poor man’s Reggie Evans,…so in other words Jon Brockman. Still, I think he has a better chance at making a roster than a lot of other guys projected in that range.
