206. The area code for Seattle. Peyton Siva has it tatted on his arm, and many don’t realize it, but chances are that he wouldn’t have even been at ‘The Ville to lead them to a national championship if it weren’t for a fellow Seattle native opening his eyes to the Kentucky school. “T-Will [Terrence Williams] went there, and I grew up working out with him,” Siva said. “Watching him play there made me really want to go Louisville. The funny thing is that they weren’t really recruiting me and I had to say, ‘Coach, I really like Louisville a lot’ to get them to come look at me. They watched me play, then offered me the next day.” SLAM

By the time that the Draft rolls around, Siva will have had workouts with half of the League. Word on the street is that he has been shooting the rock well and impressing teams with interviews. There have still been concerns about his size (6-1 in shoes), but Siva feels that it isn’t your stature that makes you; it’s what you have inside your heart. “For anyone who questions height, I really don’t think it matters as long as you have heart and come to play,” the uber-confident playmaker said. “You saw the way Isaiah Thomas came out and proved everyone wrong this year. Chris Paul is not the tallest guy out there either, but he is a truly amazing point guard. I think that if you have game and go out there playing with heart, you’ll be fine.” SLAM

A big reason why former Louisville guard Peyton Siva was looking forward to Saturday's predraft workout at the Warriors practice facility was the chance to play in front of another Rick Pitino disciple in Mark Jackson. "He's one of the all-time great point guards and he played under Coach P also," Siva said of the Warriors coach, who played under Pitino for two years with the New York Knicks. "Just that connection right there." "It would be great," Siva said of playing for Jackson. "He's great coach and they had a great year this year. It'd be wonderful." San Jose Mercury-News

Peyton Siva suggested he was mildly surprised that the Kings stayed in Sacramento. But he's happy that the fans here in the capital region got to keep their team. "Of course, I would love for Seattle to have a team," the former Louisville guard said. "It would've been sad for the fans of Sacramento if they lost the team. It kind of goes both ways. But you know, I think this is a great town. I got a chance to walk around it and it was nice." Sulia

Siva said he already has 10 workouts scheduled, including one in Boston along with fellow Nets combine attendee Pierre Jackson of Baylor and others. After the two-day combine wrapped up Thursday, Nets director of player personnel Gregg Polinsky said he was impressed with the way Siva performed. “He’s real competitive, [has] great speed,” Polinsky said. “What do you say? [He comes from a] winning culture, he’s been coached, can take all you can give him ... he’s going to get some looks.” New York Post
