@adamzagoria Former Georgetown forward Hollis Thompson has workouts beginning Wednesday with Miami, Boston and OKC and then the following week with Cleveland, Golden State and Chicago before he heads into the Chicago Combine (June 6-9). After the Combine, he has Toronto, Washington, Indiana, Atlanta and Detroit, his agent Seth Cohen told @snytv. Hollis got an invite to Chicago for combine, NICE. That is a very good sign for his draft prospects since only the top players get that invitation. Does anyone here know if Henry will be attending Chicago combine, or any leaks as to how his pre-draft workouts are shaping up? Jason? Looks like Henry will join Hollis n Chicago: www.draftexpress.com/article/NBA-Combine-Participant-List-3923

Any news on any of our European Hoyas? I heard that AFree might actually have a shot this year. Awesome news though that Hollis and Henry got invited to the combine. All 3 players that graduated this year seem to have a shot!

Guess he has another semester.

This is the conclusion: "Thompson needs to get stronger and continue to work on his ball handling, but he should look excellent in workouts and get serious consideration in the second round -- and maybe even late in the first."
The rest is what you'd expect. He's long, fairly athletic, fundamentally sound, and he shoots the lights out in his workouts.
Seems like Henry and Hollis are rising on the draft boards. Great to see.

• I walked away really impressed with Georgetown's Hollis Thompson. Thompson worked out against Waiters on Tuesday and he shot the lights out from everywhere on the floor. He's got an effortless stroke, a quick release and excellent range on his jumper.
When you factor in that he's a legit 6-foot-8, has long arms, is a good athlete and is technically really sound ... what's not to like?
Thompson shot 44 percent from 3-point range during his career at Georgetown. While he wasn't a dominant scorer (he averaged 12.8 ppg as a junior at Georgetown) he played within an offense that didn't really give him the freedom to take over.
He's also a very intelligent player who majored in Economics at Georgetown. He had his first NBA workout in Miami on Wednesday and he's been invited to the Chicago pre-draft camp.
Thompson needs to get stronger and continue to work on his ball handling, but he should look excellent in workouts and get serious consideration in the second round -- and maybe even late in the first.

Best of luck to Hollis. The critique of his game sounds familiar.

good find Mr. Boston, Hoolywood sounds like someone has told him that he is a first rounder, perhaps his mom?

Indeed... not the most accomplished of interview pieces ever, but it has a money quote, Mr. Retiree.

I think it's a little weird he hasn't been somewhat in contact with Greg Monroe. Some of the current players who didn't even play with Monroe talk to him. You'd think he'd at least bend his ear. I love Hollis but he's a bit of an odd duck.

I love Hollis but he's a bit of an odd duck. Is it possible that GM might be the odd one? It's possible that HT might read during his free time & not chat w/former running buddies via facebook, twitter, etc.

Let's analyze this one to death. Hollis and Greg can talk to whoever they want. Both are good guys.
