Yeah I just read Insider with Ford also. He had some really interesting things to say about Iggy and Deng also. This draft has just gotten a whole lot interesting. I think some guys were knocked before people got to see them work-out.
this is what Ford said about Deng
Incredible wing span looked like a 7 ft player coming at you.
Much better 3pt shooter than anyone realized made alot of nba 3's with ease.
Grover says Deng has-better than average strength already and is much more explosive than he thought. He says in another month any questions about Deng's athleticism will be put to bed.
about Iggy-great size, strength and speed. will make highlight reel plays all over the place next season. Makes teammates better because of passing ability,played pg through highschool. Will help a team NEXT year. Shot has improved dramatically.
Now MY TAKE
I don't believe any hype about these guys shooting ability. Non shooters can easily make shots in non pressure related controlled environment situations.
I really don't think Grover does anything to improve a players skill sets its bogus.
Grover though can have a dramatic effect on a players athleticism and strength. He can make a player reach optimum physical peak.
I have always thought that Livingston's stock would rise once he started working out. I was thoroughly impressed with him when I saw him on tape. It was an AAU game and he is a much better athlete and floor general than I realized. I don't think he gets past the Clippers.
