 Erick Green has gone to 17 individual workouts since May. His final workout was Monday morning in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he met and practiced for the Nets.

 

“My strategy was, the more people that see him, the more people will like him,” agent Alex Saratsis,
He said he’s been fairly “consistent” during his 17 workouts. He said most workouts were organized the same way, with drills and skill work first and then 3-on-3 games with other draft hopefuls.
Green has played in those games against N.C. State’s Lorenzo Brown, St. Mary’s Matt Dellavedova, Detroit’s Ray McCallum and South Dakota State’s Nate Wolters.

Green, 6-foot-3 and 178 pounds, said his goal has been to show NBA teams he’s versatile, not just a scoring machine. He wants to prove he can be a true point guard and an all-around player.
That was one of his goals this spring when he spent time in Bowie, Md., working out with his AAU coach, Keith Stevens of Team Takeover, and fellow Takeover alum Victor Oladipo of Indiana.

“I can be more than a scorer,” said Green, whose 25 points per game for the Hokies last season led the nation. “Ballhandling, making plays, playing defense. A lot of teams have been impressed with my defense. On film they see my scoring. In person, they’re impressed with my defense.”
