There have been rumors that the Bull are going to try to trade for ball . Either way Garland and Ball actually fit really well together. Ball doesn’t require the Ball and is a quick passing facilitator, Garland Spears to be more of a scoring point who creates for himself. Balls size allows him to defend wings and Garland is an on ball defense.

what I'd really be interesting in hearing is a promise to a player by NO in a C's draft position

Even NOP working out some of the mid-tier prospects would be good news.

what if they start working out Barrett, Reddish, Garland, etc.  That would be awful news.

Not critiquing the validity of these reports, but doesn't it just seem early in the process to have promises?

I feel like the rumored promises come out just before the draft, or at least after a few team workouts.

Nope. Draft promises start right before the combine typically. Teams move to shut guys they like down from that process.

Yeah he did five years of high school.  He can still withdraw by May 29 and attend NC State.
