PrintLast week, everyone in the NBA flocked to Chicago for the NBA's official Pre-Draft Combine.
Today more useful workouts will begin as teams head to Minneapolis, Minnesota for more relevant (think 3-on-3 and the like) NBA prospect watching.
Draft prospects will arrive at the Target Center this morning for four days of workouts that will attract scouts from, presumably, many other NBA teams to watch a rumored 40 NBA Draft-eligible players in action.
I'll update this accordingly with who is working out when. Thus far, only Monday's players are available.

From Draft Express:
“Heard Dominique Jones was the best player in 1st Minnesota workout. Aggressive in mid-range. Excellent in 2 on 2 w/jumper. Good defense.”
“1st workout was Gani Lawal, Tiny Gallon, Terrico White, Dominique Jones, Jordan Crawford and Armon Johnson. Probably about 15 teams there.”
“Sherron Collins pulled out of the Minnesota workout after straining ligaments in his hand at NBA combine. Out for next 5-6 days, fine after.”

And from Chad Ford
“Did talk to a number of NBA people however. They all had different takes. Only consensus winner was Jordan Crawford in morn workout”
Obviously probably not worth putting too much stock into these reports as it’s more than likely agents feeding the analysts what they want everyone to hear.

Nope
Indiana and Miami for sure, but that’s just because they have Larry Bird and Pat Riley there. Was told 17 teams – will try finding something more concrete.
