[FAQ]

Pre-draft workout at the ACC today .

Morning Session - 10:30 am
Kemba Walker -- I was impressed by his passing ability . He could be picked if he's available .
Jacob Pullen -- To be safe , he's not an option for the team .
Will Graves -- I'd bet all my savings , the Raps will not take him . He's a good catch-and-shooter though .
Marcus Simmons -- He's showed good defense -- based from their monkey in the middle-esque workout .
Dallas Lauderdale -- Undersized big man . Worth keeping an eye on him .
Curtis Kelly -- Thanks for showing up . Good luck .


Afternoon Session -1:00 pm
Brandon Knight -- will have a separate workout as requested by his camp
Isaiah Thomas
Alex Stephenson
Frank Hassell

On a sidenote ...
1. Raptors scouting director Jim Kelly (former PBA coaching consultant) went to see Enes Kanter yesterday in Chicago at Tim Grover's ATTACK Athletics -- for "private workout" with Raptors assistant coach Scott Roth . They were impressed of Kanter's strength and conditioning . However , they are not planning to project another big man this time .

2. Talks in the air that the Raptors and T-Wolves are discussing trade . T-Wolves are offering their #2 pick for DeRozan . Wait , seriously ? No thanks .

3. Head Coach Jay Triano got promoted into the front office position . The team are now looking for a replacement . Mike Woodson , Lawrence Frank , and Dwayne Casey are on top of their list . My friend told me that there are talks that Brian Shaw is lobbying for the job .

[FAQ]

They already started when I got there for the afternoon session . They were already in the middle of their physical workout but I got to see their shoot-around workout .

Afternoon Session - 1:00 pm
Brandon Knight - This guy is well prepared for the big league . I thought he did better than Kemba today . It's great the Raptors got an up-close look on him . It would've been better if he was matched-up with Bayless .

Isaiah Thomas (not related to that worst coach and GM) - The most hard-working player during the session. Last year, it was Larry Sanders . This guy has a great shooting skills , and he nailed everything from beyond the arc . I like him, but not worth for 5th pick, if Kemba/Knight is available .

Alex Stephenson - He did great today . Again , the Raptors are not looking to project another big man . Alex English already have Amir , Ed Davis , Alabi , and Bargs(?) to work on .

Frank Hassell - Nice seeing you buddy . I'm pretty sure he was only brought in to match-up with Stephenson .

My spidey senses are telling me that the Raptors are looking on drafting Brandon Knight . I remember they wine-and-dined him in Chicago during the Combine . Everyone are high on Knight too . Nonetheless , he did an impressive job today .

The team will check out Bismack Biyombo and some international players next week . In heaven's grace , DeRozan for Minnesota's 2nd pick trade rumor is NOT true .

i dont think kemba will be availble in your 5th spot. .

Jonas Valanciunas nalang for the Raptors!

[FAQ]

I missed the Raps' recent workouts due to work and cottage in Prince Edward County .

Anyways , Dwayne Casey was in Toronto for an interview . My gut feeling is telling me that they'll hire this man by next week -- which I approve !!!
