He looked good.. Had a nice dunk where he dribbled passsed someone on the 1-1 drill.

Also had a nice lay-up over Kyle Singler.

Shot the ball pretty well.

Didn't look very fast in the running drills though.

For all the knitpicky things people criticize Hopson for, I'm shocked that this is the first criticism I've seen for Tobias.

I was nearly castrated here on VN during the season for suggesting that Tobias could be a little faster and more athletic.

yeah, Tobias don't have the size and leaping to be a great 4 in the NBA, and is way too slow to dominate at the 3.....I still don't see how Tobias will be very good in the NBA....... I think Scotty will do better in the NBA actually.......

hopson will have to be a free agent pick up,for a team he will not be drafted,and tobias will be drafted between12 and 20.two mock drafts have him at 16 to philly which i would like in away,cause they are my favorite nba team,i do think that philly needs a tough hardnosed big that can play defense and score against the best post players in the nba,which he will do in a couple of years.and scotty is in need of alot of work.

Tobias could have used at least one and maybe two years in a college strength and conditioning program. He does not have a developed body--there is a lot of softness in his physique.

I don't think Hopson is ready for the NBA either but he will be drafted. I think he is lazy and inconsistent but still has enough natural ability to be picked up. Tobias Harris will get abused in the NBA if he even sees the floor. IMO

guys all get pestered by their agents and family and friends to take the money, so that they can get their greedy hands on some of it sooner rather than later.

the nba isnt dominated by Power forwards like it was in the past, Garnett and duncan are old and almost done. Bosh is soft like a pop tart, Dirk isnt a bruiser, hes more of a 3 in his overall ability.

Boozer, david west, Paul milsap, josh smith are bruisers, but are they great players? probably not. Out of college (or in smiths case high school) were any of them prepared for the NBA? Nooooo.

Its a PG league, so to say harris would get dominated at the four is false and whoever believes so obviously hasnt watched the NBA in recent years. In the mid 90s when Karl malone, barkley, shawn kemp, charles oakley, rodman were in the league, he wouldve been pummled.

I think Harris will be okay, he doesnt completely have an NBA ready body, but hes an extremely hard worker and could easily be a good player in the league. A more polished boris Diaw type player could be in his future.

I disagree. It primarily is a #2G league. If a team has a #2G who can create his own shot and score, it will contend.

I disagree. From the age of 6 and on, every age group and league is point guard driven. PG should have the ball in his hands for 75% of each offensive possession, only giving it up to set up a play or get the ball to the scorer in scoring position.

Yeah, because the training and performance staffs in college are so much better than the ones in the NBA.

That explains why Sacramento was so great during Mitch Richmond's time there.

Does everyone understand this draft will be Harris' best opportunity to make money? He can always improve in the NBA. He made a smart business decision
