    3.

  4. Kenneth Faried

    5. "Everything (Faried) does is hard," said McMillan. "The guy ties his shoe hard. Everything he does is hard. He's certainly a guy that's on our radar screen and when i watched him up in Chicago, all of the drills, everything he did out on the floor was hard."

  5. Corey Fisher

    6. “Four year proven player comes from a great league,” said Chad Buchanan, the Trail Blazers acting General Manager and Director of College Scouting. “He’s really improved his game, especially his shooting, over the course of his career. Good with the ball, not a great athlete, and that’s something he’ll have to overcome, especially being a point guard and not having great speed and quickness, but tricky with the basketball and just a solid player."

  6. Austin Freeman

    7. “Another four-year guy,” said Chad Buchanan, the Trail Blazers acting General Manager and Director of College Scouting. “A lot of these guys being four-year guys they’re very polished and put them in a work out like this and you don’t have to teach them a whole lot, you just let them play and Austin’s one of those guys he’s not gonna wow you athletically or do many things that are gonna catch your eye but the more you watch him the more you appreciate his intelligence, he can make shots, he understands positioning, sees the floor, just a solid all around guard.”

  7. Isaiah Thomas

    8. “Isaiah had a very good workout,” said Chad Buchanan, the Trail Blazers acting General Manager and Director of College Scouting. “Very good pick and roll point guard it’s a skill that he’s got to have at our level which he showed today. Made shots, made mid-range jumpers, made good decisions with the ball, very competitive, feisty kid. Very confident kid which is, at that size you’ve gotta kinda have those extra traits to compensate for your lack of size. I thought he was very good today.”
