Brett Dawson of the Courier-Journal lets us know that even though Jodie Meeks and Pat Patterson may be spending time in the gym for the NBA scouts, they most likely won't be playing any 5-on-5 games for the scouts. In something of an NFL move, the NBA has adopted more of a cattle-call, or Keeneland horse sales, type of format for the collegiate athlete. Jodie and Pat will be probed, measured, critiqued on their horse lineage, go through agility drills, and interviewed more than anything else. This is something John Calipari says is a great change for these pre-draft camps, citing players in the past hurting their stock by not having good 5-on-5 games. Best of luck to Jodie and Pat. I hope the scouts say your both one year away from realizing your dream. That's not at all selfish, is it?
