Pacers' Draft Prospect Workouts Begin On Monday

by Tom Lewis on May 15, 2010 8:30 AM EDT in Indiana Pacers News

The Indiana Pacers begin scrutinizing draft prospects up close on Monday when they workout six players at the Fieldhouse.

Bruno reports that Larry Sanders (Virginia Commonwealth), Gani Lawal (Georgia Tech) and Dominique Jones (South Florida), Aubrey Coleman (6-4, 200, Houston), Sylven Landesberg (6-6, 207, Virginia) and Mikhail Torrence (6-5, 210, Alabama) will put their games on display for the Pacers to evaluate.

All of these players currently project to late first round or second round depending on which mock you take into consideration. Sanders is the most highly rated of the bunch followed by Lawal and Jones. These guys may be trade-down targets for the Pacers, while the other three players will be trying to impress the Pacers for that 40th pick in the second round.

Levy's player profiles are valuable as some of the players start coming to town. We'll be adding video highlights (if available) to older reviews so make sure you check them out.

Profiles Updated with Highlights!

These are the profiles that have been updated with video highlights:
Marquez Haynes
Matt Bouldin
Sylven Landesberg
Dexter Pittman
Derrick Caracter
Charles Garcia
Craig Brackins
Trevor Booker

I am hoping to have the rest done by tomorrow. A few caveats:
1. Highlight videos are not always the best representation of a player’s skills. For some guys what they do best just doesn’t warrant a highlight reel (Brian Zoubek).

2. Some of these players are from smaller schools and just don’t get that much attention. For some the video quality is terrible. There may also be a few that don’t have highlight videos available.

3. Most of these videos have music already attached. If you don’t like to watch highlights while listening to hip-hop, you might want to press mute before you press play.
