The Wizards worked out six draft prospects today, and there are four more scheduled for tomorrow, according to team announcements. Western Kentucky’s Charles Bassey, Texas’ Greg Brown III, and Isaiah Todd, of the G League Ignite, headlined today’s workouts, along with Jay Huff, Blake Francis, and Colbey Ross.
Tomorrow’s slate of workouts will include Troy Baxter Jr., Obadiah Noel, Jamorko Pickett, and Devontae Shuler.
We have more draft workout news from around the Southeast Division:
- Corey Kispert, the sharp-shooting senior out of Gonzaga, worked out today for the Magic, tweets Josh Robbins of The Athletic. The 6’6″ guard/forward would fill a much-needed role for a Magic team that is well-stocked at some positions but still low on shooters.
- The Hornets worked out potential lottery pick Jalen Johnson today, according to a tweet from the team. Johnson had a turbulent year at Duke, and eventually withdrew from the program, but came in with a high pedigree and an intriguing point-forward skillset.
- Ruot Monyyong, out of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, will work out for the Hawks on Wednesday, tweets Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. The 6’10 big man was the 2019/20 All-Sun Defensive Player of the Year.
Like J Johnson. Big SF who will get better. He’s a solid pick 10-14. Wish Knicks could trade up for him. Seems if he drops out of top 12, they might be able to do it
Jalen Johnson is gonna be a BIG time player no doubt. Kuminga, Barnes & Johnson are all gonna be elite forwards in the league. I don’t see any of those guys dropping past Sacramento at 9 tbh. Obi & #19 pick for the #9 pick would probably interest the Kings but giving up on Obi Toppin rn isn’t smart
