road for Gonzaga big man Josh Heytvelt. After being a relatively unheralded high school prospect, ranking behind players like David McClure and Mohammed Tangara, the power forward burst onto the national scene during his sophomore year, averaging close to a double-double. In the midst of his blossoming talent though, Heytvelt hit a series of bumps in the road including felony drug possession charges during his sophomore year and suffering a stress fracture in his right foot during his junior season. /article/Josh-Heytvelt-Iam-a-much-different-person-now-3248/ /article/Josh-Heytvelt-Iam-a-much-different-person-now-3248/ Sat, 06 Jun 2009 08:11:06 -0400 Alade Aminu took some time to sit down with DraftExpress and talk about his sudden arrival on the draft scene, his time at Georgia Tech and his position as CEO of a charitable foundation he started for children in Atlanta. /article/Alade-Aminu-I-can-be-a-Chris-Anderson-type-of-guy--3245/ /article/Alade-Aminu-I-can-be-a-Chris-Anderson-type-of-guy--3245/ Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:40:31 -0400 Joey Whelan and Jonathan Givony recap an eventful week at the NBA Combine in Chicago, discuss the group workouts going on right now, and look forward to next week's Reebok Eurocamp in Treviso /article/DX-Podcast---NBA-Combine-Recap--Eurocamp-Preview-3243/ /article/DX-Podcast---NBA-Combine-Recap--Eurocamp-Preview-3243/ Tue, 02 Jun 2009 21:47:28 -0400 Video interviews with many of the top prospects in this year's draft at the media availability session at the NBA Combine in Chicago. /article/NBA-Combine-Media-Availability-Interviews-3238/ /article/NBA-Combine-Media-Availability-Interviews-3238/ Fri, 29 May 2009 20:31:31 -0400 While in Chicago, we also had a chance to take in a brief 45 minute workout at the old Multiplex gym right down the street from Moody Bible Institute, featuring players such as Joe Ingles, Luke Harangody, DeMarre Carroll, Micah Downs and others.

Holiday entered the season as a consensus top five high school player in his class, giving UCLA fans plenty of hope for yet another appearance in the Final Four when the newcomer teamed up with returning All-American point guard Darren Collison. That dream failed to become reality for a variety of reasons, but certainly the underwhelming numbers posted by Holiday received some of the most scrutiny. /article/Jrue-Holiday-Im-a-Floor-General--3234/ /article/Jrue-Holiday-Im-a-Floor-General--3234/ Thu, 28 May 2009 01:07:40 -0400 Joey Whelan and Jonathan Givony discuss this week's upcoming NBA combine in Chicago, as well as the early to mid lottery portion of our latest mock draft from a need vs. talent perspective. /article/DX-Podcast---Previewing-the-NBA-Combine-in-Chicago-3232/ /article/DX-Podcast---Previewing-the-NBA-Combine-in-Chicago-3232/ Tue, 26 May 2009 22:33:45 -0400 Jonathan Givony joins Geoff Calkins and Gary Parrish on 730 Fox Sports in Memphis to discuss the Ricky Rubio situation at length. /article/DX-Podcast---Jonathan-Givony-Interview-on-the-Geoff-and-Gary-Show-3231/ /article/DX-Podcast---Jonathan-Givony-Interview-on-the-Geoff-and-Gary-Show-3231/ Tue, 26 May 2009 22:30:21 -0400 You probably haven’t heard of Nando De Colo before; not unless you’re an NBA executive, an NBA draft fanatic, or you reside in France. There’s a good chance that will all change in the upcoming weeks though. The 6-5 combo guard is one of the top international prospects from the class of 1987 and a name that NBA teams have been getting more familiar with in the last two years. De Colo has a very good feel for the game, able to create his own shot effectively while also proving to be an excellent playmaker for his teammates. While there are still lingering questions about his actual position and his ability to defend at the next level, De Colo presents enough upside at the age of 21 that he will be on plenty of draft boards. /article/Nando-De-Colo-I-want-to-play-in-the-NBA-3230/ /article/Nando-De-Colo-I-want-to-play-in-the-NBA-3230/ Tue, 26 May 2009 18:52:04 -0400 Jordan Hill sits down for a chat with Jonathan Givony to discuss his training in Chicago, what he might be able to show NBA teams in private workouts, his background as a player in high school, his breakout junior season and much more. /article/Jordan-Hill-I-Got-Heart-3229/ /article/Jordan-Hill-I-Got-Heart-3229/ Tue, 26 May 2009 01:05:49 -0400 Blake Griffin sits down for a chat with Jonathan Givony to discuss how he plans on dealing with the scrutiny of being the #1 pick, what makes a great rebounder, why he didn't always play hard in high school, what kind of defender he'll be in the NBA, his real height and wingspan, his goals for next season, President Obama, and much more. /article/Blake-Griffin-Im-going-to-work-to-be-a-complete-player-on-both-ends-3223/ /article/Blake-Griffin-Im-going-to-work-to-be-a-complete-player-on-both-ends-3223/ Fri, 22 May 2009 00:03:44 -0400 While in Secaucus at the NBA Draft Lottery last night, we had the chance to chat with General Managers Sam Presti of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Bryan Colangelo of the Toronto Raptors and John Hammond of the Milwaukee Bucks to get their thoughts on this year's draft class and what their team needs to do to avoid returning here next May. /article/NBA-Draft-Lottery-Video-Interviews-Presti-Colangelo-Hammond-3221/ /article/NBA-Draft-Lottery-Video-Interviews-Presti-Colangelo-Hammond-3221/ Wed, 20 May 2009 09:46:08 -0400 NBA super-agent David Falk comes on the show to discuss a wide range of topics, both regarding his new book "the Bald Truth" and the NBA agent industry.

Georgia Tech’s super athletic forward will be the first to say that he doesn’t care what his numbers look like when the game clock shows zeros, just as long as he was able to contribute to a win. Even though there weren’t many of those for the Yellow Jackets during the 2008-09 season, those wins that they did manage to accumulate were due in large part to the efforts of Lawal. /article/Gani-Lawal-I-want-to-do-whatas-best-for-me-3218/ /article/Gani-Lawal-I-want-to-do-whatas-best-for-me-3218/ Tue, 19 May 2009 00:16:48 -0400 Doug Thonus of the Bullsbeat digs into all the latest rumors and NBA draft analysis in his latest podcast with DraftExpress' Jonathan Givony.

After attending junior college, the Garland, Texas native spent two years playing basketball at the University of South Carolina, a fifteen hour drive from his hometown. While a commute like that for most college students would ensure visits home only came around the holidays, it was simply a warm up for what has turned into a five year odyssey of traveling around the globe to continue his playing career. /article/Always-Ready-to-Travel-the-GlobeaThe-Story-of-Chris-Warren-3079/ /article/Always-Ready-to-Travel-the-GlobeaThe-Story-of-Chris-Warren-3079/ Sat, 10 Jan 2009 19:47:16 -0500 Marquette senior guard Jerel McNeal sits down with Joey Whelan to discuss this upcoming season, including the coaching change the team went through, entering the NBA draft last season, sharing the ball with Dominic James and a variety of other topics. /article/Jerel-McNeal-You-Have-to-Put-Winning-at-the-Forefront-3046/ /article/Jerel-McNeal-You-Have-to-Put-Winning-at-the-Forefront-3046/ Fri, 21 Nov 2008 02:05:19 -0500 We're about a week away from taking in the debut of arguably the most intriguing NBA prospect in this this year's freshman class, DeMar DeRozan. Right before he steps foot on an NCAA court for the first time on November 15th against UC-Irvine, DeRozan sat down with us to chat about his initial thoughts on playing for Tim Floyd thus far, the pressure of stepping into O.J.

The former Atlanta Hawks player, one of the best sixth men in the NBA last year, was a major contributor in pushing the eventual champions, the Boston Celtics, to a seven-game playoff series last May. This summer he decided to leave the NBA for Europe, to play for Olympiakos Piraeus. The Greek team, one of the top contenders to win the Euroleague Final Four in Berlin, has given him new challenges, and of course, a lot of money-- a three year deal for 20 million dollars. In his first Euroleague game, Childress showed all the characteristics which made him appreciated by numerous NBA teams. He registered 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, and drew 8 fouls. He is an impressive talent, but the best is surely ahead of him in terms of showing European basketball fans what he can do at the Euroleague level. /article/Josh-Childress-I-ll-become-a-better-player-here-in-Europe-3024/ /article/Josh-Childress-I-ll-become-a-better-player-here-in-Europe-3024/ Sat, 25 Oct 2008 18:58:47 -0400 International draft prospect Vladimir Dasic takes out time from competing with the Montenegrin national team to answer a wide array of questions about himself, the team he plays for in the Adriatic League, playing in FIBA youth competitions and the Treviso Eurocamp, and his philosophy regarding entering the draft and coming to the NBA. /article/Getting-to-know-Vladimir-Dasic-2999/ /article/Getting-to-know-Vladimir-Dasic-2999/ Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:27:57 -0400 Interviews from the 2008 adidas Nations Experience in Dallas with Washington Wizards players Antawn Jamison and Antonio Daniels, as well as Team Europe coach Detlef Schrempf /article/adidas-Nations-Experience-2008-NBA-Mentor-Interviews,-Detlef-Schrempf-2983/ /article/adidas-Nations-Experience-2008-NBA-Mentor-Interviews,-Detlef-Schrempf-2983/ Sun, 10 Aug 2008 13:45:32 -0400 Carl Landry didn’t spend the hours leading up the 2007 NBA Draft with friends or family.

In college he transferred out of an uncomfortable situation at Utah and shined at Weber State averaging nearly 18 points and 12 rebounds. Then, last year, a series of events unfolded that moved him from being the 4th String center to the starter on one of the better teams in the NBA Development League, the Idaho Stampede. This year, along with teammate and fellow D-League All-Star Randy Livingston, he averaged 16 points and 10 rebounds and lead his team to the best record in the league, and just today earned himself a call-up with the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers. A few weeks ago at the All-Star game in New Orleans I had the opportunity to speak with Lance about his rise within the league and his chances of getting called up or heading to Europe. /article/Interview-with-Lance-Allred-of-the-Cleveland-Cavaliers/ /article/Interview-with-Lance-Allred-of-the-Cleveland-Cavaliers/ Thu, 13 Mar 2008 21:47:38 -0400 After going undrafted out of Kansas in 1998, Billy Thomas bounced around Europe and the minor leagues before being signed to two ten-day contracts by the New Jersey Nets and then eventually for the remained of the ’04-’05 season. He spent some more time in the minor leagues and eventually got another call-up by the Washington Wizards. Earlier this season, while playing for the Colorado 14ers of the NBA Development League, Thomas was averaging just under 16 points a game when he was called-up again by the Nets before being released and returning to the 14ers. Yesterday, a week after playing the D-League All-Star game, the Cleveland Cavaliers gave him a call-up along with teammate Kaniel Dickens.

Setting out to prove the naysayers wrong, Keith is shooting well above 40% from three point range this year, and has already received one call-up from the San Antonio Spurs.

Strawberry it seems has a knack for sneaking up on people. Coming out of high school, he certainly wasn?t the most heralded of prospects in the University of Maryland?s national championship recruiting class.

In a mere three months and change, top players from the United States and European Leagues will be poked, prodded, weighed, measured, and interrogated by the top brass of every Pro team. For the lucky few who show themselves well, the golden ticket of a guaranteed contract can be won, and with that a chance to play and prove their true worth on the next level. But, there are only so many chances and so small a time frame to showcase any and all hidden talents that somehow didn?t manifest themselves during seasonal play. For those players who are in favor coming into the process, the hungry masses competing for status will attack relentlessly from behind, scratching and clawing their way ever higher. /article/Training-Grounds-The-Minds-Behind-the-Madness-of-Pre-Draft-Workouts-2137/ /article/Training-Grounds-The-Minds-Behind-the-Madness-of-Pre-Draft-Workouts-2137/ Mon, 25 Jun 2007 02:51:27 -0400 DraftExpress columnist Charlie Bury caught up with Martell Webster of the Portland Trailblazers for in an extensive interview to discuss his NBA draft experience two years ago. /article/My-NBA-Draft-Experience-Martell-Webster-2104/ /article/My-NBA-Draft-Experience-Martell-Webster-2104/ Thu, 07 Jun 2007 20:36:47 -0400 Carl Landry sits down with Joey Whelan following the second day of action at the Orlando pre-draft camp to discuss how he's feeling so far as well as the look back at the past few months and seasons since deciding not to quit playing basketball. /article/NBA-Draft-Diary-Carl-Landry-2090/ /article/NBA-Draft-Diary-Carl-Landry-2090/ Fri, 01 Jun 2007 02:02:55 -0400 [c]Oden outside Champion's Academy[/c]Mike Schmidt and Jonathan Watters sat down with the one and only Greg Oden last Saturday following his workout at Champions Academy. /article/Greg-Oden-s-Take--%22Wherever-I-go,-I-need-to-get-a-raincoat!%22-2080/ /article/Greg-Oden-s-Take--%22Wherever-I-go,-I-need-to-get-a-raincoat!%22-2080/ Tue, 29 May 2007 02:53:10 -0400 Joey Whelan sits down with Zabian Dowdell to talk about his upbringing in the football hot-bed of Pahokee, Florida, deciding to attend Virginia Tech, making the NCAA tournament, playing in Portsmouth, the tragic shootings at his school last month, preparing for the NBA draft at the IMG Academy, and his anticipation for the pre-draft camp that kicks off today. /article/NBA-Draft-Diary-Zabian-Dowdell-2084/ /article/NBA-Draft-Diary-Zabian-Dowdell-2084/ Tue, 29 May 2007 02:49:49 -0400 Julian Wright sits down with Jonathan Givony at Tim Grover's gym in Chicago to talk about his training so far, leaving KU and the possibility of going back, his position in the NBA, his draft stock, strengths as a player, and more. /article/Julian-Wright-%22I-definitely-don-t-plan-on-playing-just-one-position%22-2079/ /article/Julian-Wright-%22I-definitely-don-t-plan-on-playing-just-one-position%22-2079/ Mon, 28 May 2007 02:49:19 -0400 Over the course of the next few weeks, current NBA players will reflect on their draft experience with Draftexpress columnist Charlie Bury.

In a mere three months and change, top players from the United States and European Leagues will be poked, prodded, weighed, measured, and interrogated by the top brass of every Pro team. For the lucky few who show themselves well, the golden ticket of a guaranteed contract can be won, and with that a chance to play and prove their true worth on the next level. But, there are only so many chances and so small a time frame to showcase any and all hidden talents that somehow didn?t manifest themselves during seasonal play.

For media and draft junkies alike, it?s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of workout buzz. Every day it seems like a mysterious new Brazilian with a 15 foot wingspan explodes onto the workout scene and instantly makes himself into a candidate for the lottery. But what do these workouts really mean? Can players really cancel out unproductive college careers by looking great during workouts for a month? Perhaps most importantly, what can NBA teams learn about players from watching them workout?
