Michigan State guard Matt McQuaid was another workout participant on Tuesday. He’s not projected to be drafted, but like his time with the Spartans, McQuaid is looking to eke out a niche for himself in the NBA — possibly as an undrafted free agent. “Just keeping the underdog mentality and the edge at MSU that you play with and learn when you’re there,” McQuaid said. “Just being tough and doing the little things and paying attention to detail and do all the things that help you stand out.”

However, below is a look at prospects the Nets have reportedly worked out and four additional players they’ve brought in according to sources on The Athletic. Prospects staying in the draft. Brandon Clarke, Forward, 22, 6-8, 207, Junior, Gonzaga. Clarke, who is currently projected to go No. 18 to the Pacers in my latest mock draft, is a player the Nets may consider with the 17th overall pick.
DaQuan Jeffries, Guard, 21, 6-5, 216, Senior, Tulsa. Jeffries participated in a group workout with the Nets, league sources told The Athletic. After earning Portsmouth Invitational All-Tournament Team honors, Jeffries was recognized as a top performer at the G League Elite Camp and advanced to the NBA Draft Combine.
Jessie Govan, Center, 21, 6-10, 255, Senior, Georgetown. Govan participated in a group workout with the Nets, league sources told The Athletic. Considered more of a traditional center earlier in his career at Georgetown, Govan expanded his game beyond the 3-point line this season shooting 41.2 percent on 3.5 attempts per game.
Josh Robbins: Maryland center Bruno Fernando, who worked out for Orlando today, said he's also worked out for Boston, Charlotte and Detroit. He said he has workouts scheduled with Atlanta, Indiana, Minnesota, San Antonio and Utah.
Ja Morant said he was not sure which teams he might visit - his agency, Tandem Sports, is still planning that, and Morant might not need to work out at all. "If my agency decides that I will work out with a team," he said, "it will probably be the top three. But I guess soon we'll see."
Some of that came from his time spent with Chris Paul at the CP3 camp last summer. That's where he better learned how to play off ball screens, a staple of being a point guard in the NBA. "I loved how Chris Paul was hands-on with everybody," Morant said, "and what I learned the most was handling the ball-screen situations. I know at Murray we run a lot of ball screens. So we watched film. He showed us how he attacked screens, what he was trying to read on the floor, and that's what I took most from that camp."
