    I don't really expect him to make it, but that is cool to see.

    Exactly, working out for an NBA team doesn't make him an automatic NBA caliber player but you gotta start somewhere. Nothing against Scotty, but its obvious Fred's word will go quite a ways with NBA execs and why wouldn't it.

    There is no way he even has a chance. Playing defense against nba talent? Oh wait, nevermind

    I'm not sure if the NBA could handle his thug-ness

    Re: Christopherson working out for the T-Wolves

    He'll never make it in the NBA. He clearly has character issues; he wouldn't fit in a league that only takes upstanding citizens and role-models, such a shame.

    I think Scotty could be a solid D-League player.

    I think this also makes Fred look good because it shows recruits/players that he has connections and will use them.

    I don't know how likely Scotty is to make a NBA roster but I could seem him in the D league.

    Or a Cy's? I swear I see him there every time I am in town.
    “They're very, very hard to guard,” Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey said. “They're really good. And with Niang in the middle kind of wheeling and all those guys spreading you out, they're kind of a nightmare matchup. And they're men. They're really men.”

    Re: Christopherson working out for the T-Wolves

    How awesome would it be to see Scottie and Royce with the T-Wolves together? Awesome.

    I didn't even think about this, but it is very possible! I hope it happens! Not sure if they need Royce, because they have Kevin love.

    I'm not sure they need him either but it'd be sweet. I'd definitely go to a game. I already plan on going to a game if Royce ever plays in the area.

    Royce is pretty much the same as kevin as a match up problem, but Royce doesn't have the offensive game. If he could learn from him on that perspective.

    He likely wouldn't be on the court with Love a whole lot. He will begin his NBA career on the second unit.
