Quincy Pondexter worked out for the Wizards on Thursday — and then showed up in a mock draft projected as the 30th overall pick in the NBA Draft to Washington.
What a coincidence.
It has been like that all week, with one late-first round, early-second round prospect after another parading through Verizon Center — Greivis Vasquez, Jarvis Varnado, Keith “Tiny” Gallon, Devin Ebanks, Stanley Robinson and Pondexter — and getting connected with the Wizards on the interwebs.
“Those mock drafts are inaccurate sometimes, ” reminded the mature and poised 6-foot-6 Pondexter, who off the court might have been the most impressive. He was better than Robinson, who had as much trouble with his saggy shorts as he did with Wizards coach Flip Saunders‘ final shooting drill — and that was a lot.
“I would love to play for the Wizards,” Pondexter said. “But who knows what’s going to happen.”
Not the mock drafts, that’s for sure.
