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.”
We reported last week that Kentucky power forward P.J. Washington will work out for the Heat in June, according to a source. And ESPN draft analyst Jonathan Givony reported Tuesday that Washington’s workout for the Heat will be Sunday and the first of six private workouts for one of three Kentucky players expected to go in the first round of the June 20 draft. Washington is among several players expected to receive strong consideration for the Heat’s pick at No. 13.

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."

Heat officials already have had a long look at three Kentucky prospects who could all go in the teens of the June 20 NBA Draft. And they’re going to get an even closer look in the weeks ahead. The Heat, which has the 13th overall pick, has scheduled a private workout and visit in South Florida with Kentucky forward PJ Washington, according to a league source. Miami also plans to bring in Kentucky guard Tyler Herro, according to NEO Sports Inside’s John Alfes. And the Heat has shown interest in scheduling a South Florida visit and workout with Kentucky 6-6 swingman Keldon Johnson, though nothing was booked as of late last week.

James Borrego and Terry Stotts potential hires as assistants for Milwaukee

Griffin and the Bucks will now work toward securing veteran assistants for his coaching staff. Two potential candidates are former Charlotte Hornets coach James Borrego and ex-Portland Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts, according to the sources.

While the team has not yet made the hire official, league sources tell The Athletic that Griffin has been with the team throughout the week in various meetings and draft workouts in Milwaukee. The Athletic has also learned that Griffin will be paid roughly $4 million per year on a multiyear contract with the Bucks.

No, Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic’s point toward his hand as he walks off the floor after wins is not a reference to the championship ring that he’s a few victories away from earning. It’s a gesture meant for his little girl, taken from one of his toddler daughter Ognjena’s favorite songs. “It’s just a song that we sing,” Jokic said during a SportsCenter interview after the Nuggets took a 3-0 series lead over the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference finals. “It’s not a big deal, but she likes it, and I just want to have some connection with her.”

Erik Spoelstra on the undrafted narrative: 'That's so disrespectful to keep on talking about that that way'

Yes, the Heat has reached the NBA Finals with a rotation filled with undrafted players. But this also isn’t new, considering the Heat has made the Eastern Conference finals in three of the last four seasons and the NBA Finals in two of the last four seasons with chunk of its rotation made up of undrafted players. “That’s kind of played out,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said during the conference finals when asked about the undrafted success stories on the Heat’s roster. “That’s so disrespectful to keep on talking about that that way. “That story line is over. These guys have proven themselves as competitors and winning players.”
“We don’t typically have a ton of draft picks. That’s just us,” Spoelstra said when asked about the Heat’s impressive ability to develop undrafted talent into rotation players. “It’s not right or wrong, that’s just our philosophy. So we have to stockpile and develop our talent base sometimes in different ways to fill out a roster.
