Loving the workout list. Especially Newton for the second round

I guess it's time for me to take a more in-depth look into Ron Holland's game

Looks ideal for us. Perfect pick in the second round.

OKC looking for a big. Follow the tea leaves

I would be thrilled to get any combination of two in that workout list. I hope Kelel Ware kills it in his workout. Honestly wouldn't mind if we went Ware and Johnson in the second. About damn time we start worrying about our front court.

I figured the Bulls would be in on him.

Clingan is probably the surest thing in this draft IMO. Should be a top 5 pick

Somebody is going to aggressively trade up to 3 for him but been hearing Snyder for the Hawks is trying to convince his front office that's who they should draft. The Wiz are going to take the best Frenchman on the board to tandem with Coulibaly.

Oh wow, so are these the finalists for the 15th and 43rd picks? We haven't typically worked out more than like 10 players in the past couple seasons. These names plus Jesse Edwards, Tristan Enaruna, Sam Griffin & Zyon Pullin makes 9.

Miami Heat
The known list of players to have worked out with the Heat:

Keyshawn Bryant, South Florida
Jaime Jaquez Jr., UCLA
Javan Johnson, DePaul
Brandin Podziemski, Santa Clara
Craig Porter Jr., Wichita State
Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Marquette
Nick Smith Jr., Arkansas
Terquavion Smith, NC State
Jordan Walsh, Arkansas
Isaiah Wong, Miami (Fla.)

Reminder on who we worked out last year. The early 2024 list to come out looks pretty strong for who we are looking at with the 15th and 43rd picks. Most mock drafts have Ware, Carter, or Collier in that 15 slot and at 43 Johnson and Newton should also be there.

Looks like a potential defensive menace. Has to be one of the best athletes in this class. Rangy wing that can slash better than just about any wing prospect in this draft. 3 ball is a concern. I see some potential as a creator.

Have Rob Fodor heavily involved in his workout and if he sees hope with the 3 ball, don't let Holland pass Miami's pick.

I highly doubt he drops all the way to 15.

I tend to sour quickly when an ATHLETE needs to learn how to play basketball vs a high IQ bball guy with limited athleticism.

"I dont know how to play basketball, but I can jump real high and I have a motor!"

Pass.

Yeah it reminds me of a Winslow like fall at the last minute. Go with the guys you know, not the guy that tumbles down to you.

At least this time they are working out a potential faller. In Winslow's case they went with alumni fan boy Nick Arison's advice coming off the Duke title run. They never worked out Winslow at all to determine why he was even falling to begin with. The teams that worked him out knew his shot sucked. Not even Fodor could salvage Brickslow.

I mean...the Heat are scheduled to work him out. I think they'll get to know him

They are? Where did it say that? I couldn't look at the link due to the pay wall.

Oh I see draft express says he does. Wow that's a hell of a fall. I'm still not sure I'd like him. He was potentially the number 1 pick coming in this season, and was top 10 in this draft until like now.
