Some Big Names Featured on Day 3 of Workouts

Raptors have no less than 8 guards coming to town split into 2 different sessions. The headliners of that this group are Austin Rivers the Duke stand out that has a dad that coaches the Celtics and  Jeremey Lamb from UConn who some have questioned his desire and passion for the game. Lamb with be in the first session and Rivers in the second and there will be a third solo session for UNC Forward Harrison Barnes. Here is the complete list of workouts scheduled for today.

First Session:

Jeremy Lamb             Guard              6-5           Connecticut
Alex Johnson              Guard              5-10         NC State        
Dee Bost                     Guard              6-2           Mississippi State
Kim English                 Guard              6-6           Missouri 

Second Session:

Scott Machado           Guard              6-2           Iona
Austin Rivers               Guard              6-5          Duke
Tyler Murray               Guard              6-5          Wagner College
Harouna Mutombo      Guard              6-4        Western Carolina


Third Session:

Harrison Barnes          Forward           6-8       North Carolina



The Raptors are certainly looking at a lot of different folks and seem to be having no trouble getting some of the big names to come to town for workouts. Raptors are sure doing their due diligence and then some which might be for show in terms of keeping their 8th pick and not actually trading it. Still you can't help but think that might be the case but at least Raptors will have a good idea of what they are passing on if that is what they choose to do.
