Workouts

[CFAN38]

Im going to keep a running log on who is reported to be workin out for the Cs

June 1,  Justin Harper (PF), Matt Howard( F),Jon Leuer(PF),  and Jamie Skeen (PF)   

June 20, they have Corey Stokes ( G)

I forgot all about howard, he might make for a nice late 2nd round pick, smart hustle player, and undersized. Seems like an aigie kind of guy

[hardlyyardley]

I'd rather have Harangody than Howard....Stokes unlikely to be drafted....maybe training camp invite.....no sumer league so guys like him get closer looks now

[CFAN38]

 Jamie Skeen's story reminds me of Powe with the knee problems, having never watched him and going by his scouting reports sounds like a cross between gnomes and post knee injurys powe. Worth a look late in the draft

 i wouldnt mind using our second rounder on howard, like his jumpshot in a bigger body

[CFAN38]

The globe reported that Howard was a no show for the workout, but they did add the oakland big guy Benson is in boston


Next monday the Cs have the folowing coming in

Terrence Jennings (Louisville, 6-9, 220, 9.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg)   Vernon Macklin (Florida, 6-10, 240, 16.3 ppg, 6.2 rpg),   Kevin Anderson (Richmond, 6-foot, 175, 16.6 ppg, .408 3-pt.) Demontez Stitt (Clemson, 6-2, 180, 14.5 ppg, 3.3 apg).

EspnBoston said that Lavoy Allen PF Temple will also be at the workout

I really like Harper from Richmond at 25. I have been trying to watch as much film on him as possible. He can really shoot it, is fairly athletic. With his shooting, he will be a rotation player for sure.

One other thing: Nearly everyone else they are working out are players that will certainly be available at 55. I am very curious who they are looking at with the 25th pick. They must be keeping workouts secret. Only Harper is the only player that might be a first rounder that they will workout. What gives?

[CFAN38]

I have a feeling that ainge, is going to pull someone like Skeen out of no where for our first round pick

I don't really like any of the names for our first pick. However I think Skeen will be a really good player in the NBA. If you watched him in the tournament he was scoring by posting up, taking people off the dribble and shooting the rock. He carried his team extremely far in March, that counts for something in my book.

Interesting to read all this about Skeen.
nbadraft.net and draftexpress.com don't even have him being drafted.  Sounds to me like a nice gamble if he's available at #55.

The early word I got from the Celtics workout is that Justin Harper and Lavoy Allen both played pretty well

[lon3lytoaster]

Just draft Jeremy Tyler and hope for the best.

[Evantime34]

Any more word on workouts or anything Celtics draft related?

[yupitsme]

I'd love to get Corey Stokes with that 2nd round pick. he's a sniper from deep and has great 2-guard size at 6'5.

Not at all surpised to here this.  I'm a URI fan so an A-10 so I watch A-10 games whenever I get a chance and I really like how those two play. 

The Spurs also are know to have been looking at Harper so you know the guy has a good chance to stay in the league and make an impact.

Really would love to get one of those two.
