The Indiana Pacers are rolling through pre-draft workouts. On Friday, June 2, the Pacers will host six NBA Draft prospects for the fourth scouting session in the St Vincent Center this week alone.

On Thursday, the team brought in projected top-10 pick Cam Whitmore from Villanova. It was the first solo workout for the blue and gold in this draft cycle. Friday, they will go back to their usual half-dozen player workout.

The six prospects that Indiana announced will be working out on Friday are:

  • Toumani Camara, Dayton
  • Tosan Evbuomwan, Princeton
  • Jaylen Martin, Overtime Elite
  • Landers Nolley II, Cincinnati
  • Miles Norris, California-Santa Barbara
  • Julian Strawther, Gonzaga

ESPN's latest mock draft has Strawther going the highest of this group at 49th overall, though Camara is not far behind at 53rd. None of the other four players are listed in the mock draft. The Pacers own the 55th overall pick, so these players could all be in play late in the second round.

Strawther was teammates with Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard for two seasons at Gonzaga, and he averaged over 15 points per game while shooting over 40% from deep this past season. He is an interesting wing to watch in this draft cycle.

Martin comes from the Overtime Elite program, where he averaged 14 points per game. It will be interesting to get his perspective on OTE and how it helped him get ready for the NBA, especially with two lottery prospects (Ausar and Amen Thompson) also coming from the league.

The Pacers will have worked out 25 total players once this workout is complete. The NBA Draft is less than three weeks away.
