EC Matthews

https://hoopshype.com/storyline/draft-workouts/
interesting.

he was projected as a second rounder coming into this season and he had an underwhelming senior year.  as a local guy, I hope he does well representing URI in the draft but I suspect if he makes a team it'll be as a training camp invitee (and not necessarily the C's)

The Cs are rumored to be interested in getting a 2nd round pick. Matthews, Pinson and Barnett are  prime candidate to be drafted late in the 2nd with a predetermined agreement to sign with the Cs on a 2-way deal.
just curious - where did you here that? 

If Mathews had played up to his projections, I could see the C's looking at him as an option in the second round.

I can see this kid coming off the bench  being that Smart type player. Maybe not as good on D, but hustle, gets his hands in their to knock out loose balls. Kinda like Smart, not as good on D, but has a really good out side shot.

If Smart bounces, this kid could be his replacement, if Smart stays, Smart and DiVincenzo will be a good back up back court.

DA may need to trade up though. Had a good Combine. He's already moves up in a couple mocks.

I think Shamorie Ponds just said that he's staying in school.  I was hoping to draft a combo guard to replace smart or TRoz eventually.  I wanted Troy Brown who is good sized playmaker but he's been projected to go earlier.  How about De'Anthony Melton or Shake Milton???

Someone good will fall. This draft looks a little top heavy but seems to have value all the way in to the middle of the 2nd round...

I love Shake Milton. On offence he reminds me a lot of D'Angelo Russell. Size, smooth, can shoot and is a decent passer.

Obviously, I don't think he's as good as Russell offensively, but similar games.

Don't know much about Melton, except that he's a good defender, if I remember right

Have to think they're looking at other guys like Jerome Robinson (BC) and Khyri Thomas (Big East) too. Maybe they've seen enough of them, but they're going in our vicinity and are SGs having different skillsets with Thomas being a 2-time DPOY in the Big East with his freakish wingspan and Robinson being the 2nd leading scorer in the ACC.

Sounds like they're looking at more 2nd rounders than guys in the 20-30 range. Wouldn't be shocked if they trade down myself.

Of these guys that are working out, Okogie, DiVincenzo, and Allen seem most intriguing to me.  I could also see Brown out of Miami being a DA type of player.

Is it me or has watching Jaylen Brown all year made everyone in this draft seem slow?
