Though plenty of teams are looking to add a wing player or two in this year's draft, there are some valuable big men to consider, with Villanova University Omari Spellman in the mix. League sources told the Express-News the Spurs are targeting Spellman for a second workout before next Thursday's NBA Draft. The freshman forward averaged 10.9 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in his only season at Villanova, helping the Wildcats capture their second NCAA men's basketball championship in three years while also being named Big East Rookie of the Year.
Michael Cunningham: There was a report that you had a great workout with the Suns. How do you think this workout compares? Jaren Jackson Jr.: I think this was a great workout. It was probably different. We just did different things. I thought I shot well. Got up and down a little bit. It wasn’t nothing too taxing but it was an hour and we focused ona lot of things, like more intricate parts of he game, like where I would get shots instead of a normal camp-type workout.
Spencer Percy: #Hornets holding two workouts tomorrow. First one is headlined by Zhaire Smith (Texas Tech), Gary Clark (Cincinnati) and Deng Adel (Louisville). The second is Collin Sexton (Alabama) - looks like it might be an individual workout. #BuzzCity

Tania Ganguli: Arizona’s Rawle Alkins had a workout with the Warriors yesterday, post parade. He ran into Jordan Bell, who he knew from playing against him in college. “He’s different now. He’s turning up now. But he’s a champ so he can do that.” Alkins worked out for the Lakers today.
Darren Wolfson: Loyola-Chicago swingman Donte Ingram is among prospects in with the #Twolves tomorrow. I love this photo of the game-winner he hit in the tourney vs. Miami. Ingram has previously worked out for the Grizzlies, 76ers, Bulls, others. Feedback has been good. pic.twitter.com/bdcJwpfWuf
Lakers Nation: Lakers pre-draft workout tomorrow: Matt Mobley – St. Bonaventure Manu Lecomte – Baylor Abdul-Malik Abu – NC State Marcus Lee – Cal Trevon Bluiett – Xavier Kameron Chatman – Detroit
Ohm Youngmisuk: Purdue's Dakota Mathias worked out for the Lakers. The Lakers are looking for perimeter shooting and the 6-4 guard shot 46.6% from 3 this season and made the most 3's (250) in school history over his career.
Ian Begley: The Knicks have a workout scheduled with UCLA point guard Aaron Holiday, per ESPN sources. The workout is expected to take place close to draft night, sources say. Holiday, the younger brother of Jrue and Justin Holiday, was a prolific scorer last season as a Bruin. The idea that the Knicks would like to work Holiday out close to the draft is an indication that they'd really like to get a first-hand look at him. The guard, who averaged 20.3 points and 5.8 assists last season, is currently projected as the 19th pick in ESPN's latest mock draft. The Knicks, who have the 9th pick, have already worked out point guards Trae Young and Collin Sexton.
