coachx Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 These two should work out vs. one another in one on one and side by side in drills for the top 3 teams in the draft. If one of them backs down and is to scared I would not pick them #1. I don't see Carmelo backing down. LeBron (18) is probably a puppet and will do whatever his agent tells him. The only way they back down is if there is a team they do not want to be apart of (Cleveland, Denver). Before I draft James #1 he must workout vs reasonable talent. To bad Darko (17) has no one to really test him in workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Money Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Darko vs. Kaman would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Does the number one pick even work out for teams? or Carmello? what would be the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Money Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Other years, they always have. LeBron is set as the #1 pick, he doesn't have to lift a finger. Carmelo and Darko are a toss up at the 2/3 spots, so they'll both be busy, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted May 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 The point is to see who is better at this point. I don't think GMs are as sold on James as much as Nike and the media are. Kame Brown is the perfect example. He worked out for teams and still has not produced. It is hard to gage HS talent. They have to see him vs real competition (not children) before he is the #1 pick.

Guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 I don't see any of them really working out for teams. They're all three guaranteed to go in the top three, with LeBron going number one, regardless of his actual "talent," no team will pass up a) the drawing power, b) fan ridicule, and c) the possibility of his actually becoming most of or all of what his hype is. Why work out for teams and let your stock slip? The Darko/Melo placement will most likely depend on who's picking and their needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted May 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 But it sure would be fun to watch. I hope the team drafting #1 can talk them into though. Is this why Knight said he would open the workouts up to the public if we got in the top 3. (There may be no workouts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
