The Kings hosted a pre-draft workout on Monday that included two of the top center prospects, two-time National Player of the Year Zach Edey (Purdue) and Kel’el Ware (Indiana), Sean Cunningham of FOX 40 Sacramento tweets. Both are projected to be taken in the first round. Jamison Battle (Ohio St.), Boogie Ellis (USC), Rayj Dennis (Baylor) and Jonathan Mogbo (USF) were the other visitors.
We have more from the Western Conference:
- The Jazz held a pre-draft workout on Monday that included Melvin Ajinca (France), Ulrich Chomche (Cameroon), Tyler Kolek (Marquette), Ajay Mitchell (UCSB) and Tyler Wahl (Wisconsin), Darren Wolfson tweets. Kolek, a point guard, is considered a first-round pick. All the other prospects except for Wahl are ranked among the Top 50 on ESPN’s Best Available list.
- Speaking of Kolek, the Suns are expected to target the Marquette floor leader, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Phoenix currently owns the No. 22 pick. The Suns are searching for a traditional point guard.
- The Suns will only be able to make veteran’s minimum offers to free agents due to their salary cap restraints. Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com looks at 20 free agent wing options, breaking them down by realistic targets and others that may be out of their price range.
Hi Dana, I loved the GoPHNX article !! Thanks for including it here. Even as a fan of a different team, it’s really great free agent info !! Excellent read, thanks again !!
C’s are the champs lets get a post up about that
We’re already on to next season.
Just kidding !! Congratulations to all Celtics fans. Amazing finals victory and tremendous display of Defense against a real good offensive team. Up to the rafters goes #18. Well done.
Why in the hell would Phoenix be targeting a PG
When they have that gaping hole at C,
And too many ball handlers ?
Are they trading low on Bradley Beal ?
Take the tape on Kolic, we need a floor leader, and he can do everything day one to start or bring up the 2nd unit for
20 minutes a game! He can make any pass, he can shoot off ball, pick and roll, lob passes
rebound, good defence position, I only fear someone will pick him before 22.
Like Edey for Knicks. But it’s looking like most Centers will be gone by 24.
Ware, Edey, Missi .
