Pre draft workouts for Cassius? 3 on 3 games? Vertical leaps? Schmoozing with guys who know his dad, the professional agent? He could have gone in the teens.
As for Carey, more time on tv would remind people that his first name isn't Jahlil or Jabari. Even if they couldn't figure that out, he could also remind them that Jahlil at 3 and Jabari at 2 were probably too high, but Vernon, Jahlil, and Jabari at 20 would, in retrospect, be just fine.
I'm relaxed. Boozer -- such a magnificent talent -- was taken in the second round despite earning A-A honors his last year at Duke. He got even. Carey will do just fine no matter where drafted.
