Mark Cuban on if he wants to trade his draft pick: “That is the case. The numbers are the numbers. If I’m going to talk about cap and CBA I can’t BS my way around that. … There’s risk involved. If somebody falls that we think is going to be a superstar and nobody else does, then we’ll make the pick. I don’t think that’s likely.” Dallas Morning News

Jeff Withey became something of a menace in the paint for opponents in four years at the University of Kansas. The 6-foot-11 center, who was one of four prospects to work out for the Clippers Monday, blocked 3.8 shots per game his senior season and showed plenty of instinct as a help defender in his four years in Lawrence. But the workout process prior to the June 27 Draft has the lanky big man trying to show NBA personnel he can do more. “I want people to see that I have a little bit of an offensive game,” Withey said. “I’ve been working a lot on my 15-foot jump shot and I feel pretty confident right now. I didn’t shoot the best today, in this workout, but overall I’m feeling pretty happy with it.” NBA.com
