Alphabetically, we start with MarShon Brooks coming from Provident College.\u00c2\u00a0 Standing at 6’5″ MarShon is the 2nd leading scorer in the NCAA playing on the Providence Friars.\u00c2\u00a0 A senior with 4 years experience under his belt he is a force to reckoned with on and off the course.\u00c2\u00a0 He came to Providence, Rhode Island from his home town of Stone Mountain, Georgia and he has been doing his home town proud.<\/p>\n

At the NBA Draft Combine in May both players did extremely well.\u00c2\u00a0 The Combine gives the teams a chance to look at the players to give them an opportunity to find the \u00c2\u00a0best fit for their team who are dreaming of Championships to come.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Participation in the Draft Combine includes, but is not limited to, agility, sprints, vertical jumps and shooting drills, just to names a few.\u00c2\u00a0 Based upon their performance, each player is invited individually to workout at the team’s facility. \u00c2\u00a0This is where they are put in 3 on 3 drills and 5 on 5 drills\u00c2\u00a0to access their\u00c2\u00a0offense, defense, scoring, and athleticism.<\/p>\n
Both MarShon and Scotty did extremely well\u00c2\u00a0at the team’s workout and tomorrow will provide us with the end results.\u00c2\u00a0 Our guys are well prepared to\u00c2\u00a0be an important \u00c2\u00a0part of any team.\u00c2\u00a0 Draft night will be the beginning of the story, watch with us where they go.<\/p>\n
