Not bad, I think he impressed in workouts and combines. Good for Adonis.

#57 is three from being undrafted.
He may be a first round pick, he may be undrafted, I don't know, but a second round pick = trying out for the NBA = not being drafted.
Will Barton 2.0
Sadly, I think Will has a better chance because of his work ethic.
In two years in college, will barton showed a lot more game than adonis ever did. Adonis' draft position really hasn't changed much.
Welcome back homefry. Haven't seen you in a while.

Thanks man.
I also agree with that but I think Adonis was protecting himself from injury by being timid all season last year. He wants that check
If that's true which i doubt, it would be even more bad advice given to adonis unless he is making all these decisions by himself.
Adonis won't make it. He'll be overseas by August.

I wouldn't put to much stock in this one.
That mock draft is so 3wks ago. Now Alex Len no.1, and Ben McLemore dropping fast.

That is so hard to comprehend since its all about just simply playing basketball.
Playing timid is not going to get you NBA preferences.
IMHO

And Adonis has dropped to the Grizz at #60.

Another injury pretty much destroys his chances. He was a sissy all year
Believe the closest he will ever get to NBA court is when he buys a ticket for a Griz game.
I hope DJ has someone take a chance on him. How cool would it be for DJ to make it, and guys like Latavious Williams don't ?

Yep. I said it all season. He will never be one of my favorites.

I'm well aware of that, but he's climbed onto draft boards. he wasn't on any that I saw a month ago.

I tuned in to the combines for a few minutes the other night and it just happened that Adonis and that other Thomas were running some drills. They kept the camera on the other Thomas the entire time and you could see Adonis in the background. They were running a 3 point shooting drill and all you could see was if the ball came through the hoop or not. And from what I could tell, not many did. That's all I saw, they didn't even mention his name.

He is just not an explosive player. Pretty soft game.

I must have seen a replay and they did talk about Adonis. While they were downplaying him, I watched him shoot. You could tell from the sound if it went in and not many did. I kept saying to myself "come on Adonis this is your chance, make some shots. " He looked timid and soft even during the combine I saw. That Injury has really played on his mind and may have cost him his shot at the next level. All of this is of course IMHO only.
