Former senior Kentucky forward Jaxson Robinson, who missed a lot of pre-draft workouts while rehabilitating a right wrist injury that required surgery, has several workouts on his plate this week, reports Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.
Rankin reports that Robinson has already worked out for the Warriors, and revealed that he has workouts set up with the Lakers, Cavaliers, Celtics and Suns.
“Try to knock them all out before the draft,” Robinson said of his workouts. “It’s been tough since I’ve been injured, but just getting these last workouts in, trying to get my face in front of people so they can see me again.”
There’s more out ahead of the 2025 draft:
Five-year ex-Villanova star Eric Dixon will have a pre-draft workout for the Suns, reports Rankin in another piece. Phoenix has the Nos. 29 and 52 picks this year. An All-American Third Teamer in 2024/25 and Villanova’s all-time leading scorer, Dixon reflected on how he thrived with the Wildcats. “It’s the kind of people that Villanova helps mold,” Dixon said. “Villanova recruits a certain type of guy. They also can mold and make you a certain type of person.”
One-and-done Duke forward Cooper Flagg, the expected No. 1 pick in this month’s draft, touched down in Dallas to visit the Mavericks, who possess that selection, notes Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News (subscriber link). Given that Flagg is the anticipated top pick, he has not scheduled workouts with any other team.
Former Rutgers standout Airious “Ace” Bailey has emerged as the most confounding of this year’s anticipated lottery players, writes Adam Zagoria of NJ.com. Bailey has yet to have workouts with any NBA club so far, in a surprising move, although he is set to show off his skills for the Sixers this week. Philadelphia possesses the No. 3 selection.
