Re: Isaiah Whitehead

But just like Stephenson — whom Whitehead considers a mentor — he can follow flashes of brilliance with stretches of head-scratching play.

Uh...maybe don't tell people that, kid!

Goodluck Okonoboh, PF/C, UNLV

Dunham, Lloyd, Okonoboh, and even Poythress are mocked as undrafted, usually. So, interesting workout group.

The Pacers will hold their seventh pre-draft workout on Friday, June 17 in preparation for the 2016 NBA Draft.

The six players scheduled to participate in workouts are Kyle Collinsworth (Brigham Young), Cheick Diallo (Kansas), Yogi Ferrell (Indiana), Brice Johnson (North Carolina), Georges Niang (Iowa State), and Ante Zizic (Croatia).

Glad to see this new list. I had noticed the lack of a workout for Brice and now that is not only solved but he'll go against Diallo and Zizic. also Yogi gets a look and I remain willing to take him at 50.
