Blake Hoffarber and Paul Carter, two former Minnesota Gophers basketball players were among six other NBA prospects working out for the Minnesota Timberwolves.Hoffarber, a Minnesota native, performed well and genuinely seemed happy to be at the facility. He was grateful for the chance to workout with his hometown team. How Minnesota-nice. Not so Minnesota-nice and so scandalous and/or questionable is his apartment purchase in Las Vegas. What is the deal with that? What kind of fresh-from-college person has the money to buy an apartment in Vegas? Buy an apartment, sure, but real estate in Vegas is not cheap. I'd like to investigate further.
Paul Carter was grilled about his decision to transfer and firmly stated that he didn't believe the departure from Minnesota after graduation to play his last season of eligibility in Illinois was detrimental to his future career. I must say I agree with him, I don't think it matters much.
While the two are unlikely to be drafted, Ronzone said the team will evaluate several prospects ultimately deciding who will land on its draft board.
