Kentucky guard Cason Wallace, who worked out for the Wizards on Monday, will not participate in his previously scheduled workout for the Hawks on Tuesday, Lauren Williams of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution tweets. Sincere Carry (Kent State), Armaan Franklin (Virginia), Seneca Knight (Illinois State), Xavier Castaneda (Akron), Toumani Camara (Dayton) and Vincent Valerio-Bodon (Sopron KC) will visit Atlanta on Tuesday. The Hawks hold the No. 15 pick in the first round.
We have more draft-related news:
- Camara and Franklin were among the prospects who visited the Hornets on Monday, the team’s PR department tweets. Colby Jones (Xavier), Justyn Mutts (Virginia Tech), Julian Phillips (Tennessee) and Daivien Williamson (Wake Forest) also worked out for Charlotte. Jones and Phillips are considered potential first-round picks.
- Arkansas guard Nick Smith Jr., a potential lottery pick, will visit the Heat in the near future, Josh Robbins of The Athletic tweets. Smith worked out for Washington on Monday.
- San Diego Jaiden Delaire will remain in the draft, according to Zagoria. Delaire, who averaged 9.2 PPG and 5.3 RPG last season at San Diego, had his waiver request to play another college season denied by the NCAA. Delaire appeared in just 12 games last season due to broken toe and broken thumb but is “100% healthy now,” he told Zagoria (Twitter link).
- Marist center Patrick Gardner has worked out for the Warriors, Nets and Magic, Zagoria reports in another tweet. He also has workouts scheduled with the Wizards, Bucks, Cavaliers, Pelicans and Celtics. Gardner averaged 19.1 PPG, 6.6 RPG and shot 38.3% from 3-point range last season.
Wallace has an NBA body already. When he learns to have offensive consistency. He’s going to next level. He’s touted as a solid defensive player. He’s a lottery pick. Kind of surprised he won’t work out for Hawks. They definitely could use him.
No they can’t.
Hawks had one of worst Defenses last yr. Gave up 119 pts and teams had 50% FG against them. It’s why your coach was fired. So you might want to keep up with that.

I don’t have a coach. Mind your own business.
Cason Wallace is going to be really nice in the NBA. He’s being compared to Jrue Holiday. Nick Smith Jr. knee injury held him back. He got the potential to be special.
He’s been moving up. Offense needs work. 2way players will always get my attention.
You don’t want me. I’m only saying it once. Your feelings still hurt. lol
most people live and learn. U just live n burn .
Maybe the wizards gave him a promise at 14
I wonder what the Pelicans would think about the Wizards giving Wallace a promise using their draft pick.
No they don’t. They have Trey. Why waist a pick on a PG when their best player is a PG.
Because when your “best player” is Trey Young you need all the help you can get
Intriguing. Patrick Gardner, 6’11” and made 57 of 149 threes for 38.3%. Worked out for Celtics. Wonder if Celtics Brad Stevens is considering him with our one pick; #35? Stevens first individual draft pick I believe. Go Celts!
I watched his tapes. He moves well for a big and plays smart. He’s worth a good look.
