No idea why they would bother working these players out.

We don't have a second round pick this year, and none of those guys will even come close to the first round. Most of them will not be drafted at all.

I would take Jermaine Taylor in a heart beat! He's not exactly a 1st rounder but since we don't have a 2nd rounder we may take him with the 25th pick, especially if we get Thabeet with our lottery pick.

Maybe just looking for extras to fill the summer league roster?

Abrams played at Texas, not a bad guard.

If we wanted Jermaine Taylor we could trade our #25 pick to move into the second round to pick him up. Taking Taylor at #25 would be a huge reach in my opinion.

And if we wanted AJ Abrams, we could sign him to a contract as a free agent after the draft has commenced, for he likely won't be drafted.

Terrell Harris:
Guard Terrel Harris has been suspended indefinitely from Oklahoma State's basketball team.

New Cowboys coach Travis Ford announced the suspension in a one-sentence statement yesterday, citing only an unspecified violation of team rules.

Harris was Oklahoma State's third-leading scorer last season as a junior. He averaged 10.5 points and played in all 33 of the Cowboys' games, making 20 starts.

Harris was also disciplined last year after he was arrested and charged with using a fake ID at a Stillwater bar.

That's kind of misleading. He was suspended in April (2008) which is during the offseason. He came back the next season and started all 35 games for them averaging 13.9 points a game. Also, he was suspended roughly 8 days after Travis Ford got hired as coach. I wonder if 'foul mouthed' Ford was trying to show what a tough guy he was or maybe Harris was just mad that Sean Sutton got fired and did something immature?

Damm... I knew this draft was weak at the top, but I thought it was pretty good late. If this is who we're looking at at #25, this draft is a total bust (if we don't get Griffin or Rubio). Terrell freakin' HARRIS?!??!?

Terrel did something immature. No need to turn this into a Bedlam coach-bashing thread. We are all Thunder fans here.

And we are NOT looking at Terrel at #25. There's absolutely no way.

Potential free agent signings... after the draft.

I was defending an Aggie player vs. the Aggie coach (who deserved to get criticized for how he talks to players, even the administration ripped him for that).

We did give John Lucas a chance so who knows if Terrel Harris has a chance as a #15 guy on the roster.

This is a relatively common thing for teams looking for rookie fa's. Because we don't have a 2nd round pick we'll look for players to possibly sign to contracts for the 66ers.

WOW I just realised that Joe Ingles is an Aussie. I mean I know who he is, but it never clicked that it was the same guy!

Might have an Aussie in OKC soon!
