Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game
Monday, June 9th, 2008

The Sonics have several players scheduled to workout for the team this week as they continue to evaluate prospects for this year’s draft, which is a little more than two weeks away.

Arizona guard Jerryd Bayless and Indiana's Eric Gordon headline the list.
Most mock drafts have Seattle taking Bayless with the team’s No. 4 overall pick. The 6-foot-3, 19-year-old is seen as a fast, athletic guard who can shoot well from the perimeter and run the floor.

However, Indiana product Eric Gordon also is a good athlete with more of an NBA-ready body who the Sonics would like to take a closer look at, and also could select with the team’s top pick.

Seattle has six picks overall in the draft. Along with the No. 4 pick, Seattle has the No. 24 pick in the first round and four picks in the second round.

Other players headed to Seattle this week include Kansas forward Darrell Arthur, UCLA’s Lorenzo Mata, Steven Hill of Arkansas, Luc Louves of France, Rhode Island’s Will Daniels, Marcus Dove of Oklahoma State, Maryland’s James Gist, Indiana’s D.J. White, Trent Plaisted of BYU, Richard Hendrix of Alabama, Kentrell Gransberry of South Florida and California’s DeVon Hardin.

The Sonics also had five players in for workouts last Sunday, highlighted by Stanford’s Brook Lopez, who has fallen in some mock drafts. Also on hand were Tyrelle Blair of Boston College, Sasha Kaun of Kansas, Louisville’s David Pagett and Vladimir Golubovic of Serbia.
