NBA draft .net was not kind in assessing Greivis’ performance at he NBA combine. He still has several workouts remaining and of course European ball is still open for him. Remember only one team has to be in the kid’s corner. One thing is for sure the University community will always be in his corner. The most interesting thing I am waiting for is to see the immediate reaction of the Stevephson camp to Greivis’ decision.
“This year we played North Carolina at our place and it was one of the greatest games I’ve ever been involved in. Because we won.

With Gary Williams in attendance in Chicago, an early review on Greivis Vasquez was disappointing. NBAdraft.net reported that Greivis looked a bit out of place with all the speedy point guards present. Greivis, come back to Maryland –take the Terps back to the top 15-20 and next year your place in the 1st round will be no issue.
