The team brings in 12 more prospects over two sessions on Thursday. Loyola-Chicago’s Lucas Williamson and Texas Tech’s Adonis Arms also share their thoughts on what they can offer.
After the workouts, Arms, Williamson, and Usher addressed Salt Lake City-based media in Zoom interviews.
As a senior, he averaged 14.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. He’s also made substantial progress in his shooting, going from 20.5% on 3s as a redshirt sophomore to 34.2% as a senior.Asked if he felt like he was being overlooked in the draft process, he replied: “I mean, yeah. I’m from Atlanta, I’m from the South — I got a chip on my shoulder all the time! I’ve always been underestimated.
Defensively, he described himself as “a good soldier” who follows the game plan and who likes taking on the burden of trying to stop opposing scorers: “I want to be able to guard the best player, be able to guard the biggest player, the fastest player. That’s something I take pride in.” His closing thoughts on being competitive and how he views himself as an athlete stood out as well. At the end of their workouts, the Jazz test players’ conditioning in a drill in which they have to run the length of the court six times, with a layup at the end of each trip; guards get 32 seconds to do it, bigs get 34.
