Hunt- Not rated
EJ Onu- 73- Good write up on him. Mentions that if a team is patient could have a similar path as Chris Boucher who took 3 years of slow development.
Carlik Jones 74- Mentions his toughness and would be a lower 2 way target. Says the key for him is becoming an elite shooter and says right now he is not even a good shooter.
Eugene Omoruyi- 80- compares him to Eric Paschall but not as athletic or used to switching defensively.
I guess the one name I was really hoping to see was Moses Wright-Georgia. When it was announced he worked out with us, I watched his highlights and wasn't blown away. He is a very good athlete but thought he was similar former mav second round pick Ray Spalding. It is just so tough to make it in the NBA. Spalding was athletic, good size and pretty good skills. But those guys are a dime a dozen, so I sort of had Wright pegged there. Although I read more on Wright and he got a late start with basketball and was a former swimmer and tennis player. He got better each year at Tech and this past year was the ACC player of the year.
He is probably holding out for a guaranteed two way deal, but I would have liked to see him join the rest of the guys.
That is a little higher tiered players then the Mavs and I was hopeful we would be able to come out with one or two. EJ is intriguing, but I had a little higher expectations.
