Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Friday's Workouts: Brackins, Varnado, Warren, et al.

Via Tommy Dee for the millionth time (I should probably get myself on the press release list at some point...), here's the lineup for tomorrow's workout:

Craig Brackins- 6'10'' Power Forward, Iowa State (22 years old)

Stephen Dennis- 6'6" Guard, Kutztown (22)

Jarvis Varnado- 6'9'' Power Forward, Mississippi State, (22)

Greivis Vasquez- 6'5'' Guard, Maryland (23)

Willie Warren- 6'4'' Guard, Oklahoma (20)

Dominique Jones- 6'4'' Guard, South Florida (21)

That's an important workout, friends. Brackins and Varnado should be two of the choicest big men available in the second round. Both have been profiled by viva_morrison previously, and both are distinct possibilities with the 38th or 39th pick. Meanwhile, Vasquez, Warren (who's been profiled), and Jones (ditto) are among the finest combo guards expected to drop, so pitting them against one another could serve to guide the Knicks' selection in June. As I've mentioned before, with holes at point guard and center, I expect Donnie Walsh to go big and small with his two picks. Friday's workout could be pivotal in that decision.

I have no idea who Steven Dennis is

or what a Kutztown is, but if they get any of the others, a G and a tall person especially, that would be nice.

Brackins preferably if only if they get Varnado too.

Nice

Couldn’t find him on nbadraft.net. Maybe we can sign him as an undrafted free agent.

i'm looking

haven’t found anything. i don’t think media don’t have access to the workouts themselves, so anything we hear is second-hand.

yea

i’m under the impression that these are closed workouts. but they might end with a media session/interview. i think the chicago thing is the basic diagram for all of these type of workouts.
