good to see a rick pitino quote on there. that surely helps alot since he's the best college coach and his team won the championship. so at least they can say they lost to the champions...and arsalan was def. the best oregon player that game.

The draft starts in one hour, does somebody have some streams?

Hoops World have projected Arsalan as 49th pick in the draft going to the Bulls.

Lets see what happens tomorrow.

LOL thank God he didn't!
I actually had a chance to meet him while he was here right before he was leaving!
SUCH a nice guy! So down to earth and humble.

Poor guy seemed so tired after all these workouts and traveling.
He was in Memphis yesterday and he left at 11am and poor guy didn't get to Detroit till 8pm! Bastards couldn't even give him a direct flight! He had to stop at Charlotte first before coming to Detroit. His workout was at 8am this morning and he had to wake up at 7am.

Overall, he wasn't very impressed with Detroit. They were very 'cold' with everyone or as he put it, not as 'garm' as some other teams. He also had a minor strain in his quads/hams (not sure exactly) he suffered in one of his workouts and couldn't play much. He said he mostly just shot.

We spoke for a while about all sorts of stuff for a good 10-15 min ranging from Haddadi to Iran basketball to his workouts. What a great guy really. I can't praise him enough.

Anyways, let's just say I have a gut feeling San Antonio Spurs will draft him (if it falls to them)

Keep your fingers crossed fellas! He seemed very hopeful! Tomorrow will be a BIG day!

p.s. pb, good to see you here! it's been a while agha! hope you're doing well. i was actually going to pm yesterday asking about arsalan, but i checked and saw that you haven't been online since the 23rd so I didn't think you would get the message in time.

Mo you should have told him shahryar sent you there freak him out a little! Lol. Yeah when I talked to him last night I said who wants to live in that dump! He said they have placed him in a very good neighborhood and I was like so by good neighborhood you mean they have 2 Denny's instead of one?! Lol. I cut the conv short cuz I knew he was do tired after all these workouts over the last few weeks. I thought it would not be appropriate to call him today for the same reason so thanks for the update.

As for the personality, I have always been saying it and I am glad you saw it for yourself. Very standup guy and even a better friend. Tell you this, the last two years both for eid and Father's Day all four times he had been the first person amongst my friends and family to call me to say eiydet mobarak and roozeh pedar mobarak. He has such an amazing character and manners. I am glad you got to see it for yourself!

[Hosseini]

He will be drafted by the lakers, spurs or blazers. You heard it from me

[persian-eagle-13]

i always wanted to see an iranian basketball player in NBA, which i did with HH

and next wish is to see an iranian player DRAFTED in NBA which i hope i see tonight in AK

[irani8perspolis]

i think he might be drafted by the heat, they badly need a rebounder and pat riley was at almost all of oregons pac-12 tournament games and the march madness games

[ali alipour]

^ they dont have a pick I doubt they'd get one just to get arsalan

[EKBATAN]

That would be sick if he goes to Miami. They do need a hustle guy....birdman and battier are getting old...so they need a replacement.

glad to hear these amazing things about arsalan. some of us don't have the chance to see or contact him like you do in the US. As a big fan of Kazemi, I'm happy you're sharing these when you post on PFDC. I'm also following him on instagram and twitter. He really is a motivation for me seeing how humble, hardworking, and down to earth he is. Wishing him all the best for draft.

Quick question, do teams make an agreement with the player before they draft them? or do the players not know if they will get drafted until the day of?
