CONLEY DRAWS PRAISE: Bucks officials were generally impressed by Michael Conley II?s workout Monday at the Cousins Center.
?It was just as good as last Friday?s workout with Brandan Wright (of North Carolina),?? Bucks player personnel director Dave Babcock said.
As expected, the Ohio State point guard, who is clearly the best player at his position in the draft, breezed through the passing and dribbling portions of the workout. He also occasionally flashed his mad athletic skills.
Of course, Bucks officials were already aware of Conley?s physical abilities. At the recent NBA pre-draft camp in Orlando, Fla., Conley graded out as the fourth-best athlete in the draft. He had a vertical leap of 40 1/2 inches. Conley claims he?s jumped as high as 42 inches.
But Conley was also erratic with his perimeter shooting, one time shooting an airball on a 3-point attempt. He later admitted his shot was ?inconsistent.?? More surprisingly, though, Conley wasn?t in tip-top condition.
Conley broke out in a deep sweat early in the workout and his jersey was thoroughly drenched when his 45-minute audition concluded. He took several breaks in the workout and, at one point, cramped up.
Conley admitted he has some conditioning work to do, adding ?Sometimes I got a little tired. I have to get my conditioning a little better.??
The Bucks were the third team to work Conley out. Earlier, the 19-year-old Conley worked out for Memphis and Chicago. He will also work out for Minnesota (seventh pick) and Atlanta (third).
