Well at least we know the team is actually working guys out. I think this is the first we’ve seen public

We saw Nowell earlier and Maxwell Lewis last week

Those are the 3 we know that have been worked out by the Raptors. 2 are sure fire UDFA's and Lewis is late teens early 20s. He's the only player who could be in consideration with the 13th pick.

Back in the old days we would get numerous players coming in for workouts and there would even be interviews with the media after.

I guess that doesn’t happen anymore.

They'll still do that if it's a higher profile prospect (or Canadian). Nembhard got like 10 minutes last year after his workout.

Oh God Antonio Reeves going back to Kentucky. Brutal for their deep tourney hopes since Calipari will feel compelled to use him.

It's tough because we only have 1 pick this year.

When we trade the 13th for a 10th man rotation player and the 45th pick in the 2nd round >>>>

Trey Alexander is out. Thought he had some good momentum happening but not enough to get a first in this class.

Unfortunate, but 2024 is undoubtedly a weaker class and he will be drafted at a spot more worthy of his true value.

Holmes out

DaRon Holmes and Reese Beekman are also returning. Holmes always seemed to be fringey first round territory and Beekman just won DPOY for his conference - what else is left?

Disappointing on Edey, wonder if he got any serious interest. Tough for players in that range to make a decision in only 10 days after combine.

Smart decision for him though. He's such an fun player. A little more strength and improved shooting, and he's a lottery pick next year. Really hope he picks Indiana. Would love to see him playing off Ware.
