It was closed, but TrueHoop reader Michael Stephenson — a season ticket holder — was among those invited to watch. He wrote up the following report, and sent it over with his blessing to publish it on TrueHoop:
The group was Jonny Flynn, Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson, Jrue Holiday, Tyreke Evans and Jeff Teague out of Wake Forest. I was most looking forward to seeing Jennings as I’ve been following him closely (on TrueHoop, among others) and was eager to measure his progress in person...
–Jonny Flynn displayed the type of personality that made him a fan favorite at Syracuse. The speedy point guard would have the same type of effect in the Twin Cities if the Wolves decided to select him at No. 6. The consistency from the 3-point arc may have separated Flynn and Ty Lawson from the four other point guard prospects. In the time spent with Flynn on Friday, his outgoing personality shined in front of the media horde. Flynn openly discussed the importance of returning to Syracuse for his sophomore season. In two years for the Orangemen, Flynn was the leader of a variety of personalities that included Eric Devendorf and Paul Harris.
1. Tyreke Evans – size, athleticism, and upside
2. Brandon Jennings – ball handling skills, can create own shots, flashy, athletic
3. Jonny Flynn – extremely quick, solid outside shot, great personality, leader
4. Jrue Holiday – size, strength, ability to reach the basket
5. Ty Lawson – speed, range from the perimeter, leader
6. Jeff Teague – scoring mentality, defense, improved each year at Wake Forest
