What are you basing your opinion for the bolded text on?  Anything other than your opinion?  Even though Chad Ford isn't a scout, I would guess he bases his predictions on what he hears from his contacts within the NBA.  That's more than you or I have.

The difference between hurting his back in draft workouts and hurting it in college is that he still has all of his options if he's in college.  If he hurts it during draft workouts and drops, he no longer has the option to return to college.  Having control over his workouts has no control over whether or not he hurts his back, so I'm not sure what you're getting at with that comment.  From what I've read in the past, the workout schedule for anyone that's not a lock to be at the top of the first round can be pretty grueling.  That wouldn't be good for someone with an ailing back.  If his back condition isn't major, he could put it behind him with a good rehab/strengthening program over the course of the next year.  That would be difficult to do between now and the draft.
