Warriors work out local PG Lillard, six others

Share

OAKLAND -- The Warriors held a couple of workouts on Sunday at their downtown practice facilityone that included a group of six players and another that served as an individual workout for point guard Damian Lillard.The most notable name among those half-dozen players in the first group was Tomas Satoransky, a 6-foot-7 point guard from the Czech Republic. Satoranskys name has appeared in the late first-round of many mock drafts. He played last season for Cajasol Sevilla in Spain.Still, he indicated on Sunday afternoon that he is considering withdrawing his name from the draft. The deadline for withdrawing from the draft is Monday afternoon, and Satoransky said he will make a decision at this time.Satoransky described himself as a player capable of playing both guard positions.As for Lillard, few players have moved up the mock draft boards like he has. Lillard, who attended Oakland high school, is considered the best point guard in this years class and some are projecting him to be a top-10 pick.Lillard was the Big Sky Conferences most valuable player as a junior and a sophomore.It seems unlikely the Warriors would select Lillard with the No. 7 pick, if for no other reason than theyve already got a point guard in Stephen Curry.The five other players the Warriors had in for the first workout of the day were Nevada-Renos Olek Czyz, Florida Internationals Dominique Ferguson, Arizonas Kyle Fogg, Harvards Keith Wright and New Mexico States Wendell McKines.
