Pre-Draft Workouts cancelled… And more DeRozan

The Pre-Darft workout scheduled for today has been cancelled. Apparently it has something to do with Agensts and their dislike for our team travelling issues… Yah right. Grange is Reporting:

“…3. The Raptors have already narrowed down their focus to four players, one of whom they are confident will be there at the ninth spot. They haven't had any of these four in for a workout yet, so all that remains is to find a fifth name -- a fall-back choice in case the unexpected happens -- to round out their list of possible picks.

4. Organizing draft workouts is expensive and time consuming and perhaps not all that vital if you already have a pretty clear plan for draft night.

All of which perhaps helps explain why:

5. The Raptors announced that they are cancelling their draft workout for Thursday.

So....

6. Watch with interest who ends up being worked out on Friday.”

Oh, I will be watching! Unless there is more travelling issues.

In case you missed it, here is Jay Triano throwing out the first pitch. As well as learning some things from Cito Gaston, the Jays Head Coach. Click here.

More Mock Drafts! Here we got Tyreke Evans. We would have ‘picked’ Earl Clark but his stock seems to be dropping in these workouts. Here we got Jonny Flynn. And here says DeRozan is the most athletic player in draft and because of that the Raptors will pick him.

I OFFICIALLY PUT  MY BLOG ON DEROZAN WATCH!! =]

DeRozan

Oh one important thing. Apparently DeRozan wont be immediate help to us. You can read about that here. Raps Fan from Raptors Republic speaks to Chris Denker of NetScouts Basketball. He recommends players like Sam Young, Gerald Henderson and Terrence Williams. However, he says after development DeRozan would be the Best Player. Hmmm….

If you notice anything incorrect please feel free comment and let me know. I edit this myself and there might be things I miss. Thank you
