The Trail Blazers have finalized the group of prospects they will host during their first predraft workout, scheduled for Monday at the practice facility in Tualatin. Here’s the list:

Isaiah Thomas, guard, Washington
Corey Fisher, guard, Villanova
Austin Freeman, guard, Georgetown
Jon Diebler, guard, Ohio State
Kenneth Faried, forward, Morehead State
Matthew Bryan-Amaning, forward, Washington

The workout is a scouting opportunity for the Blazers as they prepare for the NBA Draft, which will take place June 23. They hold the 21st and 51st picks of the draft. Monday’s workout will be their only one next week, but interim GM Chad Buchanan said the team will host four or five during the predraft process, featuring roughly 36 prospects.

Darius is a little small for the PF position... don't you think?

I know Joakim Noah was probably going to be the top pick(he probably would have been about the 3rd best player from that draft behind Rondo/LMA) but went back for 1 more year. They won the whole thing and he still ended up as a lotto pick. Duke lost and now Singler is in a free fall. I guess if he gets taken in the late first that might be okay for him, playing on a good team as a back up might help him transition into the NBA.
