Bucks Draft Workouts

Apparently we're conducting all our draft workouts in secret this year?
We had a workout with Rob Johnson and Chris Silva today, apparently. JS has an article up about Happ working out tomorrow. I would imagine other guys were/will be involved in both workouts. Figured we could use this thread to keep track.
Post what you know and I'll add it to the list.

Troy Brown, G, Oregon (?)

I find it strange how most predictive statistical models absolutely love Happ but the eye test says he should never set foot on an NBA court? Does anyone who actually watches every Badger game disagree with my eye test?

Did the Bucks forget they do not have a 2nd round pick or are they looking for summer camp bodies?

You can get typically get a 2nd round pick. But my guess is that Dave Dean was at today's workout.

The Bucks should do a thorough due diligence in preparing for the draft.
1. If a trade comes along that would provide them a second round pick, they would need to know what that pick could be used for to value it properly.
2. Conducting workouts, combined with scouting and participating in the the Combine gives them the opportunity to improve their talent evaluation process.
3. Building a base of information on new players entering the NBA can be useful when dealing with future trades and free agent negotiations.

Weird. It’s almost like it’s a business and not NBA 2K

Bucks are better off drawing random names with the way they have picked lately.

Get Antetokounmpo in there for a workout!
Or is it even necessary given that he’s probably been there a million times w/ Giannis...

Before choosing to focus solely on basketball and helping Xinjiang to the Chinese Basketball Association title in 2017, Abudurexiti played soccer as a young boy.
“I feel like soccer really helped my basketball footwork, lateral movement, and helped develop my vision,” Abudurexiti wrote. “Learning to see the play develop downfield in soccer is a big reason why I’m such an excellent passer on the basketball court.”

Antetokounmpo and Abudurexiti on the same team would be too much

Worth noting a few of these guys might return to school and enter next year’s draft.

Still think that Kostja Mushidi is a guy to keep an eye on.
