Draft Workout June 16
Grizzlies.com had the opportunity to ask Assistant Coach Tony Barone, Sr. and the guys a few questions.
Tony Barone, Sr. [Assistant Coach]
Grizzlies.com: "What did you think of Maciej Lampe?"
TB: "Maciej is a very skilled young player who can play multiple positions. In the NBA he will be a center. As a mater of fact, all of the players here today will be at different positions in the NBA."
Grizzlies.com: "How did the workout go today?"
TB: "I was extremely impressed with all four players who worked out today."

Nick Collison (PF 6-9, 255, Kansas)
Grizzlies.com: "How do you feel about today's workout session?"
NC: "Today's workout was my best ever. I played really well, and felt really good too. It's good when they talk to you afterwards. You know right away if you did well or not."
Grizzlies.com: "How did your senior year at Kansas help you in preparing for the NBA?"
NC: "My productive senior year really helped me prepare for a future in the NBA. With Drew Gooden gone, I had to pick up the pace and had the opportunity to be more aggressive my last year at KU."

Grizzlies.com: "How did it feel to be asked back for a second workout with the Grizzlies?"
JB: "It was a great pleasure. You know you have talent when they ask you back. Wow! This is a great organization, and to be asked back like this, it was great."
