Pre-Draft Workout: June 5

Q: “You had a great season last year, and big part of Notre Dame’s success. This is after battling through some adversity your junior year, showing some resilience. Did you feel like this was a perfect season to really show who are to NBA teams before the draft?”

A: “I wouldn’t say perfect, obviously we wanted to win a national championship, but it was definitely up there. I got to come back and be a leader, and do some special stuff, it was a great run.”

Q: “You are no stranger to the NBA. Your younger brother plays in Philadelphia, your Dad played in the NBA, and your Uncle Horace Grant is a four time NBA champion. What advice, if any, did they give you as you heading into this process?”

A: “Just to compete, play hard. They know what you can do, so just come out and play hard.”

Q: “You have worked out with a few teams already, does your goal in each workout change based on the team, and what they might be looking for, or do you come in with a general idea on how you want to perform?”

A: “I come out just trying to play my game. Once I get on a team that’s when I will translate my game, but right now I just go out there and do what I do.”

Q: “What is one thing you want the Nuggets organization and the fans here in Denver to know about you?”

A: “I am all about winning. The most important thing when you are playing this team sport is to win and I’ll do whatever I have to do to help my team win.”

Q: “What does the rest of your summer look like heading into the draft?”

A: “More workouts, I have a lot more workouts left, and then the draft. So we will see what happens.”

Prospect Q&A: Jerian Grant

The Denver Nuggets will host two more pre-draft workouts on Friday, June 5. The morning session will highlight six prospects: two forwards and four guards.

Darion Atkins, a 6’8” power forward out of Virginia, put himself on the map this past season and was named the Lefty Driesel and ACC Defensive Player of the Year.

From the University of Kentucky, Devin Booker is a 6’6” guard widely regarded as one of the top shooters in college basketball last season.

Standing at 6’9”, Wisconsin’s Sam Dekker helped his team reach the national championship game this past season. NBA.com projects him to be a versatile offensive threat at the next level.

Jerian Grant, a 6’5” guard from Notre Dame, brings size, experience and versatility. He averaged 6.7 APG last season.

Another guard, the 6’4” Pierria Henry, was named to Conference USA’s 2014-15 All-Defensive team.

Sir’Dominic Pointer, St. John’s 6’6” shooting guard, was named the Big East’s Most Improved Player and Defensive Player of the Year last season.

The second session, Friday afternoon, will feature Stanley Johnson, the 6’7” small forward from Arizona. Johnson is projected by ESPN.com to be drafted 11th in the upcoming 2015 NBA Draft.  Speed and power are Johnson’s strengths, and Fran Fraschilla called him “a bully on the basketball court.”
