Arizona forward Koa Peat was among the prospects who worked out for the Grizzlies on Monday, league sources tell Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal (Twitter link).
Peat is a projected first-round pick, coming in at No. 25 on the latest big board from Jeremy Woo of ESPN and No. 18 on the big board of Jonathan Wasserman of Bleacher Report, though his stock has reportedly been falling due to concerns about his shooting.
The 19-year-old helped the Wildcats go 36-3 in 2025/26, winning the Big 12 tournament and advancing to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament before falling to eventual champion Michigan.
Malik Dia (Ole Miss), Jestin Porter (Clemson) and Latrell Wrightsell (Alabama) were also part of Monday’s workout, according to Cole. Memphis controls the third, 16th and 32nd picks in the 2026 draft.
Here are details on a few more pre-draft workouts from around the NBA:
- The Warriors are hosting six prospects — Obi Agbim of Baylor, Tucker DeVries of Indiana, Tamin Lipsey of Iowa State, AK Okereke of Vanderbilt, Peter Suder of Miami (Ohio) and Lamar Wilkerson of Indiana — for a workout on Monday, the team announced (via Twitter). Lipsey (No. 69) is the highest-ranked player of the six on ESPN’s board. Golden State holds the 11th and 54th picks in June’s draft.
- The Pistons held a pre-draft workout on Monday that included Wisconsin’s Nick Boyd, George Washington’s Rafael Castro, Kansas State’s Nate Johnson and Florida’s Xaivian Lee, reports Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press (Twitter link). Of the four, Castro is narrowly considered the best prospect (No. 73) by ESPN, with Boyd ranking just behind at 77th. Detroit has one pick — 21st overall — in the upcoming draft.
- Former BYU big man Keba Keita isn’t among ESPN’s top 100 prospects or Bleacher Report’s top 75, but he’s drawing a good deal of interest in the pre-draft process. Keita recently auditioned for the Jazz and has roughly 12 other workouts on tap, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic (Twitter link), who says NBA clubs are “intrigued” by the Malian center’s “length and athleticism.” Utah only controls the second overall pick, but Keita could be a two-way or Exhibit 10 candidate if he goes undrafted.
The guys the warriors bringing in looks more like fur tuire 2 way players because only 2 of them look like they are worth drafting with 54th pick unless the warriors are planning to buy a 2nd round pick.
Teams need write offs. These camps and workouts help. This also assists in perhaps filling out the summer league roster. It’s nice to get a look at guys first before inviting them to Vegas.
The Warriors are going to have two summer league teams for the California Classic. It is good that they taking a much wider look at players. Maybe one of them will be a Brock Purdy. One could hope.
Every team works out players that won’t get drafted. You never know when a late bloomer will blossom. They probably have a database of players.
Peat was high preseason, top 20. He’s been falling since. He deserves a good look.
There should be good bigs in second rd. Top of second rd will have some good talent. Hoping Knicks score big there. They have picks #24 and #31, #55.

Good business. Wish him the best.
This maybe bigger than you think. If he was really smart, he would debut his first shoe next February with a Goat theme. The Warriors blue and gold colors could make it a huge hit. Of course, the number 30 would be on the back of the shoe.
