Jon Brockman

Brockman lit up the Portsmouth event in April and I asked a Pacers’ scout about him after that event and he was gushing, so I’ve been hanging onto similar hopes that the Pacers may land him some how. He has really remained underground so something has to be gonig on (not necessarily with the Pacers, but with some team). I heard an interview with UW player Quincy Pondexter recently and he didn’t offer any info but did say Brockman was in Rocky IV mode, training in isolation. He mentioned showing up at the gym one night at 11:30PM thinking he’d be alone and then hearing a ball bounce and walking in to see Brockman with his shirt off, looking cut and dripping wet with sweat. Could be a great role player, ala Charles Oakley.

Even more than most, I don’t believe he thinks he’s ever committed a foul. He’s the king of looking shocked when he hears a whistle after knocking a guy to the ground.

With the #55 or #56 pick. Though I’m not sure he is intriguing enough to guarantee him a deal. He works hard, but even more so than players like Blair is very undersized for the PF position.
