High-Profile Prospects Visit Hawks as Draft Nears
With the 2004 NBA Draft slated for Thursday, June 24 in New York City, the Hawks continue full-scale pre-draft preparations, as four top point guards pay a visit for a Wednesday workout. Ben Gordon from national champion Connecticut, Wisconsin’s Devin Harris, Peoria (IL) high school product Shaun Livingston and the decorated Jameer Nelson from St. Joseph’s are scheduled to battle beginning at 10 a.m. on the Hawks’ practice court.
A talented scorer and ballhandler, Gordon is an early entry candidate after helping lead the Huskies to the national championship. He was a member of the 2004 NCAA Final Four All-Tournament Team, was first team All-Big East, and finished his collegiate career as the sixth all-time leading scorer in Connecticut history. The sharpshooter is the school’s all-time leader with 242 three-pointers made and is second in career three-point percentage (42.3 percent). As a junior, Gordon tallied 18.5 ppg, 4.7 rpg and 4.5 apg (.434 FG%, .433 3FG%, .829 FT%) in 39 starting assignments.

Harris averaged 19.5 ppg, 4.4 apg and 4.3 rpg (.459 FG%, .373 3FG%, .792 FT%), and started 32 games en route to Big Ten Player of the Year honors. The athletic Milwaukee native was named second team All-America last season by seven different media outlets. The early-entry candidate became just the second player in school history to start every game each of his first three seasons. He broke Michael Finley’s single-season scoring record with 624 total points last season, and ranks seventh on the Badgers’ all-time scoring list.

Another early-entry candidate, Livingston was named to the 2004 McDonald’s All-America Team and PARADE Magazine’s All-America first team. He led Peoria Central to Class AA state titles in 2003 and 2004, earning Mr. Basketball honors this past season. The true point guard stands to become the fourth Illinois Mr. Basketball (joining Kevin Garnett, Darius Miles and Eddy Curry) to go straight from high school to the NBA. He put up 18.0 ppg, 6.2 rpg and 5.7 apg, shooting 51 percent from the field and 77 percent from the free throw line as a senior.

The consensus national Player of the Year, Nelson was also a unanimous Associated Press First Team All-America selection after leading St. Joe’s to a perfect regular season (27-0), a top ranking in the national polls for one week, the school’s first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and a school-best 30-2 record. The Atlantic 10 Player of the Year averaged 20.6 ppg, 5.3 apg, 4.7 rpg and 2.9 spg, and totaled 98 points in four NCAA Tournament contests as the Hawks advanced to the Elite Eight.

Scouring the Globe
Q: Where do you, personally, scout?
A: Everywhere. The Final Four, I've been to the (NCAA) regionals, and Europe.
Q: To see specific players?
A: Some players I want to see again and some I want to see if I want to see.
Q: Do you look for the same things from the high school players at the NBA Pre-Draft camp in Chicago as you do from the college players in the NCAA tournament and the European professionals?
A: You look for similar things. Obviously, if you're looking at a point guard you might not look for rebounding ability as much as you would from a big guy. It varies by position, but it doesn't vary with the things that you think should be innate in a guy: his competitiveness. You want him to compete and play hard.
You'd like athleticism in the player. You'd like a basketball IQ. You want him to understand where he's most effective; if he's not a good outside shooter you don't want to see him out there shooting outside shots. You'd like him to have the understanding of how he can be best effective in the game for his particular team.
You look for the guy's attitude, you look for his coachability, you watch him during the game. But you also watch him when he's not in the game. Some people don't look at that but I watch a guy when he's not in the game, when he's on the bench.
Q: What do you watch?
A: Everything. Is he part of the huddles? Is he interacting with his teammates? Is he taking care of himself physically? Like heat pads, ice bags, whatever it might be. You observe and evaluate.
Q: How often do you see a player in person? How many times do you need to see a player before you know what kind of player he is?
A: I don't think there's a set number of times. It's certainly multiple times for me -- more than three or four times. You see him during the year with his team. You see him in the summer when he's not with his team. You see him at some all-star games. You see him at the sports festivals, the Olympic trials. You see him wherever you can. You see him in person as many times as you can.
I like to see players in person even though I watch tape of players. But I prefer to watch them in person because you can't see everything on tape.
Q: When a player you are looking at seriously has a bad game, how much weight do you give to that?
A: You look at the bad games and you look at the good games. You have to evaluate them both. How does he play? Does he hot-dog it if he has a good game? Is he a different kind of player? If he's going bad, does he become timid? Is he afraid to get himself out of his problem? Is he a different kind of player depending on what kind of game he's having? You like to see some consistent effort and mentality from the player regardless of whether he's effective or not.
If he's taking high-percentage shots and he misses them, he misses them. But he's taking shots he would normally make. You look at his overall field-goal percentage for the year, you can't just base it on that game. If he missed or made 10 of 15 shots, you don't got only by that but by what he's done for the season. What has he done for his career?
Q: Is there any single trait or skill that, when you see it, you know you're looking at a player who's going to be good in the NBA?
A: No, I wouldn't say there is any one thing that supercedes everything else. A guy may be a great athlete but that doesn't mean he's going to be a great player. There are a lot of great athletes who are looking for work. You may be someone who can really shoot the ball, or handle the ball. Or you may be really tall. Or you may really play hard. You've got to be able to do a few things.
Q: How often does it happen that you go to see a particular player and end up being impressed by another player?
A: Not very often. There aren't any secrets in this league.
Q: How do your expectations change when you're evaluating high school players rather than college players?
A: You always have to extrapolate from what you see. Looking at a younger player, you have to extrapolate further: in three years, what will this guy be like? Does he work hard? Does it look like he'll take to lifting weights? Will his body respond to that? Does it look like his shot isn't broken, as we call it? Meaning that it's not too messed up and you don't have too much work to do on it.
You can't coach effort; you want a guy that's going to compete. Will he get after it without you getting on him? Some things make you say, 'This guy's going to translate into a pretty good player' and some things make you say, 'This guy might fail because he doesn't have enough the necessary ingredients.'
You want to see what happens when they've tasted their own blood. Meaning, he's never really gotten hit. In the mouth. Some guys go crazy if that happens to them. Or they become afraid and shy away from contact the rest of the game. Some guys say, 'OK, so that's how it's going to be. OK, we're gonna play harder.' Some guys approach it the way they should.
Q: Do you allow for differences in the way players have been coached or for the program in which they've been playing?
A: A system can hide something or it can enhance your game and what you do. If a team runs a lot of pick and rolls you can say, Wow, he plays a lot of pick and rolls already. If a team plays zone all the time then you figure he's not used to playing man to man.
Q: How are European players different?
A: European players generally are very skilled players. Their big men are more skilled because they use their big men out on the floor, as opposed to in the States, the big men go right around the basket a lot. You can make generalizations like that, that big men in Europe come over here more skilled in perimeter things. But that's one of the few generalizations you can make based on where a guy's playing.
Q: Do you automatically rule out somebody who's under six feet tall?
A: No. If a player's a good player, he's a good player. I'm not a size marshal. A lot of good NBA players aren't tall. You have to look for a player who can play first. You're not going to have a 5-4 center but if he's a guard, if he can do the things he's supposed to do, that's the most important thing.
Q: Will you draft for the best available athlete?
A: We will draft the best available basketball player that we can find. A guy that we think is going to be the best basketball player. Regardless of position. That's what we're going to take. If we take five guys that are forwards, then we'll take five guys that are forwards. We're not going for a guy at each position. We'll take whoever we think is the best player, even if it duplicates a position we already have.
Q: To trade? Or because you think they are so versatile that they will actually make a good team.
A: I don't know how we would approach it because I don't know the player yet, or the situation. I know it never hurts to have as many good players as you can have. That's the bottom line. We want as many good players as we can get. It's up to the coach after that. I just want good players.
Previewing the Draft
From the pages of the May issue of Hawk Talk, the Atlanta Hawks’ official monthly magazine.
Hawks Draft Central | NBA.com Draft Section The 2004 NBA Draft will once again be highlighted by the high number of underclassmen and foreign players who will enter the annual talent hunt. However, this year’s edition is younger than ever, which means that there might be an adjustment period for many of the top prospects. Many of the likely top picks are so young that they can’t even legally celebrate on draft night with a glass of champagne.
The winners and losers of the 2004 NBA Draft will likely not be known for several years as this year’s first round will likely feature less than six seniors. This means that teams will draft for potential. This draft figures to be much like the 2001 NBA Draft, which saw only four seniors picked and only one four-year player picked among the top 19 picks.
The Hawks hold the sixth pick, the 17th overall choice, and three second-round selections.
The following is a look at the top ten players at each position, scouting reports on the five at each post and others to watch for the June 24th NBA Draft.
Others to watch: Timmy Bowers of Mississippi State, Andre Barrett of Seton Hall, Nate Robinson of Washington, Marcus Moore of Washington State, Gerald Fitch of Kentucky, Antonio Burks of Memphis, Cliff Hawkins of Kentucky, Taliek Brown of Connecticut, Demon Brown of Charlotte, Greg Davis of Troy State, Morris Finley of UAB, Luis Flores of Manhattan, Marques Green of St. Bonaventure, Royal Ivey of Texas, Spencer Ross of Queens, Michael Watson of UMKC, Andrew Wisniewski of Centenary and Rashad Wright of Georgia.
Livingston has the size at point guard that NBA scouts love. He led his team to back-to-back state titles and played in the EA Sports Roundball Classic and McDonald’s All-American Game. He shined in the KMOX Shootout in December in front of plenty of NBA scouts. Livingston needs to add bulk, but is an outstanding passer with good court vision. He signed with Duke in the early signing period.
Harris was the Big Ten Player of the Year as a junior after finishing second in the conference in scoring. An excellent outside shooter, Harris has good size for a point guard and can play both backcourt spots. He has long arms and good lateral quickness. Harris needs to add bulk and continue to prove to scouts that he is a true point guard.
Telfair is a New York legend who signed with Louisville in the early signing period. He is a high scoring point guard who has excellent court vision and a flair for making the highlight-reel play. Telfair added strength in the offseason and worked hard on his outside shot. There were only eight guards in the NBA under six feet tall last season, so his lack of size is a concern. Telfair graced the cover of Sports Illustrated and has plenty of talent. However, he needs to continue to work on his game to make a jump to the next level.
Gordon helped lead the Huskies to the national title. He is an undersized scorer who will have to move to point guard at the NBA level. A great leaper with good strength, he is a good rebounder for his size and solid passer. Gordon shined in the NCAA tournament, but needs to convince scouts that he can be a playmaker.
Nelson was selected by many media outlets as the college basketball player of the year after leading the Hawks to an undefeated regular season. He is an outstanding floor general with good leadership skills. Nelson has excellent strength and showed an improved outside shot. But he is undersized and some wonder about his quickness defending top-flight point guards.
Others to watch: Desmon Farmer of USC, Julius Page of Pittsburgh, Tony Bobbitt of Cincinnati, Jaron Brown of Pittsburgh, David Hawkins of Temple, Nick Jacobson of Utah, Matt Lottich of Stanford, Marvin Lewis of Georgia Tech, Jason Maravich of William Carey, Bryant Matthews of Virginia Tech, Ricky Minard of Morehead State, Brandon Mouton of Texas, Michel Morandis of Colorado, Tim Pickett of Florida State and Mike Skrocki of Richmond.
Igoudala is a well-rounded player who led the Wildcats in rebounding, assists and steals. He has long arms and is an excellent defender. Igoudala has the ability to play small forward and even played the four spot for Arizona. He is an excellent passer, but needs to improve his outside shot.
Monya is considered by some observers as the most NBA-ready of the foreign prospects. However, there are concerns whether his Russian team will allow him to come to the NBA. He has good strength and size and can also play small forward. Monya needs to improve his ballhandling skills.
Snyder raised his stock with a strong junior season, highlighted by an outstanding NCAA Tournament performance. He has excellent size and strength. Snyder is a good ballhandler and passer for his size. He needs to improve his shooting consistency and cut down his turnovers.
Smith is an excellent outside threat with terrific leaping and dunking skills. His strong play at the EA Sports Roundball Classic, McDonald’s All-American Game and Hoop Summit made him give the NBA Draft a hard look. He was the co-MVP of the EA Sports Roundball Classic and McDonald’s All-American Game. He has been compared to Vince Carter and Paul Pierce.
Fernandez is an athletic guard who can play both backcourt spots. He needs to gain strength, but scouts love his upside. He was named MVP of the King’s Cup in Spain. Fernandez may need to play at least one more season overseas.
Others to watch: Dijon Thompson of UCLA, Harvey Thomas of Baylor, Darius Rice of Miami (FL), Justin Davis of Stanford, Christian Drejer of Florida, Kevin Martin of Western Carolina, Luke Whitehead of Louisville, Mike Williams of Western Michigan, Erik Daniels of Kentucky, Delonte Holland of DePaul, Dylan Page of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Josh Allen of Alderson-Broaddus, Jason Detrick of Oklahoma, Charles Gaines of Southern Mississippi, Herve Lamizana of Rutgers, Bryant Matthews of Virginia Tech, and Damien Wilkins of Georgia.
Smith, a native of Powder Springs, GA, is an excellent athlete who plays above the rim. He is perhaps the top dunker in the high school ranks. Smith has demonstrated an improved outside shot. He signed with Indiana in the early signing period, but played in three high school All-Star games, signaling his jump to the pros. Smith needs to add strength and work on his ballhandling skills.
Deng is a versatile player who can play inside and outside. He is an athletic forward who played well in the NCAA tournament and earned College Basketball News’ first team All-Freshman honors. Deng is a native of Sudan and possesses an excellent mid range shot. He needs to continue to improve his three-point shots, but is loaded with talent.
Childress is an excellent athlete with long arms and the ability to play multiple positions on the floor. He needs to add bulk, but is an outstanding defender and rebounder. Childress has good quickness and helped lead the Cardinal to a one-loss regular season.
Jackson is one of the top shooters in the draft. He has excellent range and has the ability to play in the backcourt as well. He is an excellent passer and solid ballhandler. Scouts will wonder about his ability to defend the top athletes at the small forward and shooting guard spot.
Ariza is an excellent athlete who was a College Basketball News’ first team All-Freshman. He is a good ballhandler for his size, but needs to improve his outside shot. Ariza is a bit of a “tweener” in that he lacks the bulk of a power forward and does not have the outside game of a small forward. He put his name into the draft and has indicated that he will not return to UCLA even if he pulls out of the draft.
Others to watch: Anderson Varejao of Brazil, Arthur Johnson of Missouri, Jaime Lloreda of LSU, Amit Tamir of California, Randy Orr of Georgia Perimeter (GA) CC, Andre Brown of DePaul, James Thomas of Texas, Justin Reed of Mississippi, Travon Bryant of Missouri, Kyle Davis of Auburn, Jackie Butler of Coastal Christian Academy, T.J. Cummings of UCLA, Jamar Smith of Maryland, Brian Boddicker of Texas, Marcus Douthit of Providence, Shawson Johnson of North Texas, Marcus Melvin of North Carolina State, Scott Merritt of Marquette, Anthony Myles of Xavier, Pape Sow of Cal St. Fullerton, Cory Violette of Gonzaga, Keith Walesowski of Dayton and Nate Williams of Georgia State.
Okafor was the most dominant player in college basketball this season, leading the Huskies to the national title. He led the country in blocked shots and was second in rebounding. Okafor has excellent hands and is a good leaper. He is strong and athletic inside. Okafor was bothered by back problems late in the season, which could be a concern in the pros, and is a bit undersized. However, his wingspan and leaping ability allow him to play taller. Okafor is an outstanding student, who graduated college in three years.
Howard (from Atlanta) is considered the top high school player in the country. He is a versatile big man who is effective in the low post, but can also step outside. He is a good ballhandler for his size and has a nice shooting touch. Howard was co-MVP of the McDonald’s All-American Game and won MVP honors at the Capitol Classic. Some scouts feel that he needs to show more of a mean streak.
Biedrins is an athletic, versatile forward who wowed scouts at the adidas Big Time Tournament this summer competition against many of the top USA high school players in the country. He has a well-rounded game with a nice outside touch with solid inside moves. Biedrins has been compared to Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirlilenko. He is an excellent shotblocker and rebounder. Biedrins needs to get stronger to play against the more physical power forwards in the NBA.
Chiriaev is perhaps the biggest mystery in the draft. He is a Russian native who is playing in Toronto. Chiriaev has not played consistently great opposition in Canada and was not able to play in the Hoop Summit Game, due to visa issues. He is an outstanding outside shooter with terrific range. Chiriaev is a good ballhandler for his size and is an excellent athlete. Despite his size, he is more comfortable playing on the perimeter. He needs to get stronger and scouts wonder about his lack of competition. His individual workouts will determine where he fits in this draft.
Splitter is a Brazilian native who is playing in Spain. He is a good shotblocker and rebounder who is more advanced on the defensive end. Splitter has a pro body and is a solid athlete. He is a bit of a “tweener” in that he needs to get stronger to play power forward and lacks foot speed to defend the more athletic small forwards. Splitter has a buyout of his contract, but could use another season overseas to gain experience.
Others to watch: Chris Garnett of Indiana Southeast, Jared Reiner of Iowa, Adam Parada of UC Irvine, Sean Finn of Dayton, Jabahri Brown of Oklahoma, Velimir Radinovic of Ohio State, Tom Timmermans of Notre Dame and Nick Vander Laan of Concordia University
Podkolzine wowed NBA scouts last June during a private workout in Chicago. However, he decided to pull his name out of the NBA Draft after questions about his pituitary gland disorder. He has outstanding size and skills for a big man. Podkolzine has soft hands and has a nice outside touch. He runs the floor well and is good athlete. Podkolzine is still relatively inexperienced, but is a high risk, high reward pick with unlimited potential.
Samardzski is a versatile big man who can play inside and outside. He is an excellent outside shooter who has solid low post moves. Samardzski has not played against top competition, so he is still a bit of a mystery. He needs to get stronger and improve his quickness, but his youth and skill are very intriguing. Samardzski has a NBA buyout and could spend another season overseas.
Ramos has good strength and a strong inside game. He is a good passing big man. Ramos has good overall skills, but needs to continue to refine his game. He has a good upside.
Harrison is a strong player who runs the floor well. His father was a former NFL lineman. Harrison has good size and strength, but conditioning is a concern. He is a good shotblocker and rebounder, but is still developing. Harrison needs to work on his hands and improve his athleticism.
Seung-Jin has good size and agility. He is still raw, but has intriguing skills. His father was a member of the Korean national team. He has a good upside as well, but needs time to develop.
Top Foreign Prospects-Manuchar Markoishvili, Tiago Splitter, Mauricio Aguiar of Uruguay, Pero Antic of Greece, David Brkic of Italy, Aleksandar Djuric of Austria, Viktor Khryapa of Russia, Kresimir Loncar of Italy, Misan Nikagbatse of Italy, Alassane Savadogo of Burkina Faso, Blagota Sekulic of Serbia/Montenegro, Luka Sjekloca of Serbia/Montenegro and Christos Tapoutos of Greece.

Others to watch: Dijon Thompson of UCLA, Harvey Thomas of Baylor, Darius Rice of Miami (FL), Justin Davis of Stanford, Christian Drejer of Florida, Kevin Martin of Western Carolina, Luke Whitehead of Louisville, Mike Williams of Western Michigan, Erik Daniels of Kentucky, Delonte Holland of DePaul, Dylan Page of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Josh Allen of Alderson-Broaddus, Jason Detrick of Oklahoma, Charles Gaines of Southern Mississippi, Herve Lamizana of Rutgers, Bryant Matthews of Virginia Tech, and Damien Wilkins of Georgia.
Smith, a native of Powder Springs, GA, is an excellent athlete who plays above the rim. He is perhaps the top dunker in the high school ranks. Smith has demonstrated an improved outside shot. He signed with Indiana in the early signing period, but played in three high school All-Star games, signaling his jump to the pros. Smith needs to add strength and work on his ballhandling skills.
Deng is a versatile player who can play inside and outside. He is an athletic forward who played well in the NCAA tournament and earned College Basketball News’ first team All-Freshman honors. Deng is a native of Sudan and possesses an excellent mid range shot. He needs to continue to improve his three-point shots, but is loaded with talent.
Childress is an excellent athlete with long arms and the ability to play multiple positions on the floor. He needs to add bulk, but is an outstanding defender and rebounder. Childress has good quickness and helped lead the Cardinal to a one-loss regular season.
Jackson is one of the top shooters in the draft. He has excellent range and has the ability to play in the backcourt as well. He is an excellent passer and solid ballhandler. Scouts will wonder about his ability to defend the top athletes at the small forward and shooting guard spot.
Ariza is an excellent athlete who was a College Basketball News’ first team All-Freshman. He is a good ballhandler for his size, but needs to improve his outside shot. Ariza is a bit of a “tweener” in that he lacks the bulk of a power forward and does not have the outside game of a small forward. He put his name into the draft and has indicated that he will not return to UCLA even if he pulls out of the draft.
 Okafor |
TOP TEN POWER FORWARDS HT WT CL SCHOOL/COUNTRY 1. Emeka Okafor 6-10 252 JR Connecticut 2. Dwight Howard 6-11 245 SR* SW Atl. Christian (HS) 3. Andris Biedrins 6-10 235 17 Latvia 4 Ivan Chiriaev 7-1 235 20 Russia 5. Tiago Splitter 6-10 240 19 Brazil 6. Kosta Perovic 7-2 230 19 Serbia 7. Kris Humphries 6-9 240 FR Minnesota 8 Lawrence Roberts 6-9 235 JR Mississippi State 9. Al Jefferson 6-9 260 FR* Prentiss (MS) High 10. Ronny Turiaf 6-10 230 JR Gonzaga(* high school player)
Others to watch: Anderson Varejao of Brazil, Arthur Johnson of Missouri, Jaime Lloreda of LSU, Amit Tamir of California, Randy Orr of Georgia Perimeter (GA) CC, Andre Brown of DePaul, James Thomas of Texas, Justin Reed of Mississippi, Travon Bryant of Missouri, Kyle Davis of Auburn, Jackie Butler of Coastal Christian Academy, T.J. Cummings of UCLA, Jamar Smith of Maryland, Brian Boddicker of Texas, Marcus Douthit of Providence, Shawson Johnson of North Texas, Marcus Melvin of North Carolina State, Scott Merritt of Marquette, Anthony Myles of Xavier, Pape Sow of Cal St. Fullerton, Cory Violette of Gonzaga, Keith Walesowski of Dayton and Nate Williams of Georgia State.
Okafor was the most dominant player in college basketball this season, leading the Huskies to the national title. He led the country in blocked shots and was second in rebounding. Okafor has excellent hands and is a good leaper. He is strong and athletic inside. Okafor was bothered by back problems late in the season, which could be a concern in the pros, and is a bit undersized. However, his wingspan and leaping ability allow him to play taller. Okafor is an outstanding student, who graduated college in three years.
Howard (from Atlanta) is considered the top high school player in the country. He is a versatile big man who is effective in the low post, but can also step outside. He is a good ballhandler for his size and has a nice shooting touch. Howard was co-MVP of the McDonald’s All-American Game and won MVP honors at the Capitol Classic. Some scouts feel that he needs to show more of a mean streak.
Biedrins is an athletic, versatile forward who wowed scouts at the adidas Big Time Tournament this summer competition against many of the top USA high school players in the country. He has a well-rounded game with a nice outside touch with solid inside moves. Biedrins has been compared to Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirlilenko. He is an excellent shotblocker and rebounder. Biedrins needs to get stronger to play against the more physical power forwards in the NBA.
Chiriaev is perhaps the biggest mystery in the draft. He is a Russian native who is playing in Toronto. Chiriaev has not played consistently great opposition in Canada and was not able to play in the Hoop Summit Game, due to visa issues. He is an outstanding outside shooter with terrific range. Chiriaev is a good ballhandler for his size and is an excellent athlete. Despite his size, he is more comfortable playing on the perimeter. He needs to get stronger and scouts wonder about his lack of competition. His individual workouts will determine where he fits in this draft.
Splitter is a Brazilian native who is playing in Spain. He is a good shotblocker and rebounder who is more advanced on the defensive end. Splitter has a pro body and is a solid athlete. He is a bit of a “tweener” in that he needs to get stronger to play power forward and lacks foot speed to defend the more athletic small forwards. Splitter has a buyout of his contract, but could use another season overseas to gain experience.
 Podkolzine |
TOP TEN CENTERS HT WT CL SCHOOL/COUNTRY 1. Pavel Podkolzine 7-5 303 19 Russia 2. Predrag Samardzski 7-0 240 17 Macadonia 3. Peter John Ramos 7-3 300 18 Puerto Rico 4. David Harrison 7-0 260 JR Colorado 5. Ha Seung-Jin 7-3 300 19 South Korea 6. Rafael Araujo 6-11 280 SR BYU 7. Robert Swift 7-1 245 SR* Bakersfield (CA) High 8. Jackson Vroman 6-10 220 SR Iowa State 9. Nigel Dixon 6-9 320 SR Western Kentucky 10. John Edwards 7-0 270 SR Kent State(* high school player)
Others to watch: Chris Garnett of Indiana Southeast, Jared Reiner of Iowa, Adam Parada of UC Irvine, Sean Finn of Dayton, Jabahri Brown of Oklahoma, Velimir Radinovic of Ohio State, Tom Timmermans of Notre Dame and Nick Vander Laan of Concordia University
Podkolzine wowed NBA scouts last June during a private workout in Chicago. However, he decided to pull his name out of the NBA Draft after questions about his pituitary gland disorder. He has outstanding size and skills for a big man. Podkolzine has soft hands and has a nice outside touch. He runs the floor well and is good athlete. Podkolzine is still relatively inexperienced, but is a high risk, high reward pick with unlimited potential.
Samardzski is a versatile big man who can play inside and outside. He is an excellent outside shooter who has solid low post moves. Samardzski has not played against top competition, so he is still a bit of a mystery. He needs to get stronger and improve his quickness, but his youth and skill are very intriguing. Samardzski has a NBA buyout and could spend another season overseas.
Ramos has good strength and a strong inside game. He is a good passing big man. Ramos has good overall skills, but needs to continue to refine his game. He has a good upside.
Harrison is a strong player who runs the floor well. His father was a former NFL lineman. Harrison has good size and strength, but conditioning is a concern. He is a good shotblocker and rebounder, but is still developing. Harrison needs to work on his hands and improve his athleticism.
Seung-Jin has good size and agility. He is still raw, but has intriguing skills. His father was a member of the Korean national team. He has a good upside as well, but needs time to develop.

Pre-Draft Workout, June 6
Andre Iguodola
On the workout:
“It went pretty good. I had an early wakeup this morning, ate some breakfast, so I was prepared. A lot of the things we did, I do a lot with (Chicago-based trainer) Tim Grover at Hoops Gym, so I was well prepared thanks to those guys over there. I think I did real well in the one-on-one’s, I was aggressive and showed them my offensive skills. I think I showed them I can play a little bit of defense too. I can use my length to my advantage and get my hands on a lot of balls, things like that. I also shot the ball well in the spot shooting, so I’m pretty happy with my performance.”
On his other workouts:
“This was my fourth workout and it was pretty much like I thought it would be. I just came from (Washington) DC, before that I was in Charlotte and last week Chicago. The last three (workouts), I talked to a couple of guys who had worked out here already, so they gave me a little bit of input on what was going to be going on. My mindset was pretty straight on what I needed to get done today and I think I did that.”
Damien Wilkens
On the workout:
“The workout went well, it was fun. Things were real energetic. I think the guys really came to work today and the coaches did a really good job with instruction. It was everything I’ve been looking forward to and I have been especially looking forward to this one. (Hawks GM) Billy Knight was saying at the conclusion of it all, that a lot of the stuff we do is pretty much the same as most of the other workouts. And it’s true, there’s not much that’s different. From workout to workout it’s still basketball, so it has been fun. I really like the enthusiasm and energy that was out there today. It was a good Sunday.
On his other workouts:
“This is was my second one. I worked out with Miami last week and that went well. Like I said, I was really looking forward to this one today and I really wanted to do well. It’s been fun, I’m having a great time.”
On being asked if there was any extra pressure with his father (former NBA player) Gerald Wilkins and uncle (Hawks Vice President of Basketball) Dominique Wilkins in attendance:
“Ya think there was extra pressure (with a large grin on his face)! Seriously, there’s not much pressure at all. There used to be when I was younger, when I was immature and couldn’t really handle it. Now I’ve grown up and going through all that has definitely helped me. It helps to have those guys around, makes me want to do that much better. I think about the things that my dad tells me all the time and I have my uncle around, undoubtedly one of the greatest to ever play, and that’s been a great influence on me. It helps me so much and brings me a lot of energy.”
On his style of play (excluding the obvious comparisons):
“I’m an open court type of player. I like to be on the run … get it and go so to speak. I don’t like to stand around. I like to move a lot, create shots for myself, create shots for other players and make plays. I just like to make plays and play off of instinct. I guess I would say I’m kind of like a Paul Pierce-type."
