Participants

Arizona State's Tommy Smith (6-10, 215-pound forward), Virginia's Travis Watson (6-8, 255-pound forward), Maryland's Steve Blake (6-3, 170-pound guard) and Marcus Hatten (6-1, 165-pound guard) of St. John's.

Standing out

Blake's three-point shooting seemed to pique the interest of Jerry West, Griz president of basketball operations. All four participants were required to attempt 20 long-range shots at the end of the hourlong workout. Blake sank 12, using solid mechanics to overcome fatigue in drilling 6 of his first 8 from beyond the arc.
