Pre-Draft Workout #3 Insider Recap - Orton and Sanders Impress, Raptors Not Sure Which Way to Go with Pick

On the other hand,the stand-out player to me yesterday was Larry Sanders. Many don't know about this kid but like Hickson a few years back, I wouldn't be surprised to see him creep up draft boards and have an immediate impact in the league. He's even longer than I remembered, was all over the court in drills, rebounding the ball, dunking put-backs, and is starting to show a solid face-up game as well, something we touch on in my interview with him below. He's raw, but I'd argue more polished than Udoh or Orton, and has more upside actually than Aldrich.

He's also one of the funniest and most personable prospects I've ever spoken to over the years, and you can see that in the following interview:

Click on the link to read the interview! :) He also says in the interview that he's got 9 more workouts scheduled after this one! Larry is one BUSY man!

Although Toronto would be a dream come true for this Ram fan, I doubt most of you share my opinion :lol:.
 
Here are some comments from Larry Sanders in the Toronto Sun after his workout. Interesting that he claims to have been 230 last summer before the season started:

On his weight and what his game is:

I wish I could eat a cheeseburger and blow up, but it doesn't work that way. Last summer I was at my heaviest, 230. I was up there, my body is capable. Definitely an energy player a defensive player, spark on defence, get a stop or a block. Working on everything. Post-ups. Use my energy and my speed, my motor, just keep going.

On who he models his game after:

Try to use different things from different people, but if I had to pick one guy, probably Kevin Garnett, or Chris Bosh. (Follow teams, what they are looking for?) Ya, I watch a lot of basketball. I go on-line, look at the teams.
