Monday player workouts

Monday afternoon’s workout at Target Center featured All-American guard
Chris Douglas-Roberts out of Memphis, who was joined by Oregon’s Bryce
Taylor, Virginia Tech’s Deron Washington and Frenchman Nicolas Batum.
Golden Gopher Spencer Tollackson and Minnesota State University-Mankato
center Atila Santos participated as well…
 
Q: On what he liked about seeing Chris Douglas-Roberts in person:
Hoiberg: He’s such a great competitor. He’s a guy that scores in a
variety of ways. He’s kind of unorthodox in the way he scores: going
off his right leg; coming off the curl; shooting floaters; he just has
a way of putting the ball in the basket. He had such a great year for
Memphis and last season as well. He’s a guy that has been there, he
comes from a winning program and his team always seems to win. So, he’s
a guy that’s very interesting.

 

 
 
Kare 11 has some video of today’s workout:
Douglas-Roberts said after the practice that he’s being told his name will be called somewhere between picks 15 to 25.
 
Batum, the raw 19-year-old French forward is slightly unknown because
of his lack of experience. Hoiberg said this guy may be the fastest
prospect in this draft and hasn’t used weight training in his life.
