the nba combine started today and erick was one 61 athletes invited. after starting the process projected as a mid to late 2nd rounder, he's now considered a late first round pick.
fran fraschilla said this: "I would just add one, what I would call “hide in plain sight sleeper”, and that is a kid I’ve studied and seen in person this year who actually dominated the ACC on a bad team, and that is Erick Green of Virginia Tech. He not only led the country in scoring, but he’s a highly efficient player. He is a kid that makes tough shots. He’s a willing passer, 67% at the rim, 40% from three, nearly 50% from two. And the only major question mark I could see with him is his narrow frame. Defensively he must improve."

Excellent video of the hard work he puts in. Can't wait to see his name called.

it shouldnt really hurt his status all that much if it was just a bruise but it sucks he couldnt do the drills.

Yeah, Erick Green is going to be an important part of someone's bench early in his career. If he keeps working hard he could work his way into a playoff teams starting rotation.
Being from Houston, I will bust a nut if we get Green.
Congratulations Cleveland, you just won the Erick Green sweepstakes!
did you see that kid? been taking fashion advice from craig sager evidently.
People affiliated with the NBA dress like the biggest douches of all time. The fucking nerd chic glasses?? I can't even put into words how much they annoy me. Russel Westbrook, Lebron James, Cleveland Cavs kid, GO DIE.
I hope the wizards get him with the third pick of the 2nd round. He would be a steal for sure
But Charlie, we like Erick Green. Why would we wanna kill his career by putting him in a Wizards jersey?
Nah Tyler the Wizards are destined for greatness in the next few years. All they need is a go to big man and they're set
erick green and john wall would be one potent backcourt.
Oh thank god you realized who it was. It took Scott a few tries to figure it out. And even with a big man, the Wizards are still a DC sports franchise, and are therefore cursed.
