Ager reportedly shutting down other draft prospects
Reports from Draftexpress.com are that Maurice Ager is representing Michigan State very well against fellow NBA draft prospects at pre-draft camps.
It sounds like Ager struggled in drills but lit it up during scrimmages and locked down on defense.
Ager reportedly shot the ball poorly in the drills, showing poor footwork, but was absolutely lights out once the very competitive 2 on 2 game started. Both sources mentioned in their own way that Ager was “knocking down shots from all parts of the floor, getting to the rim at will, dunking on people, and playing outstanding defense.�
Rodney Carney was the best player in the drills portion of the workout, being absolutely unconscious from the NBA 3-point line, but went silent once the two on twos started, largely due to the intense defense of Ager. Carney reportedly did not score a single point in either game that was played, looking a bit soft throughout, not quite in the workout mentally, and was even dunked on ferociously by Ager at one point.� In all fairness, though, this was Carney’s first workout, while we already have Ager down for 9 different completed workouts already.
