OAKLAND -- A two-day, multi-team draft workout at the Golden State Warriors' practice facility in downtown Oakland got underway on Monday afternoon, with 21 NBA teams represented and 24 potential pro prospects in attendance.
The media wasn't allowed into the gym to see the workouts, and the NBA executives weren't made available for comment. But that didn't mean there wasn't a little buzz created.
According to several observers who saw the two afternoon workouts, Pittsburgh's Sam Young was the most impressive player. Young, a 6-foot-6 swingman, was in Group 1, and played with/against Luke Harangody (Notre Dame), Joe Ingles (Australia), Damion Jones (Texas), Jeff Pendergraph (Arizone State) and Marcus Thornton (LSU).
Five-on-five scrimmaging was not part of the workouts. Instead, players were put through stretching exercises, shooting drills, individual skill work and then some 3-on-3 competition.
It was in the 3-on-3s that Young outplayed Jones and Thornton, according to some.
Among the executives in attendance are Miami's Pat Riley, New Jersey's Kiki Vandeweghe, the Los Angeles Clippers' Mike Dunleavy, Phoenix's Steve Kerr and new Warriors general manager Larry Riley.
The workouts continue Tuesday with the following players set to be there: Terrence Williams (Louisville), Chase Budinger (Arizona), Dionte Christmas (Temple), Ater Majok (UConn), Tyler Hansbrough (North Carolina), Gani Lawal (Georgia Tech), Omri Casspi (Israel), Austin Daye (Gonzaga), B.J. Mullens (Ohio State), Luke Nevill (Utah), Darren Collison (UCLA) and Daniel Hackett (Southern California).
