Sixers 2016 pre-draft workout tracker

Before the NFL Draft, Jimmy Kempski continually updated the Eagles pre-draft private visit tracker. I thought that was a good idea, so we’ll tweak it to fit what the Sixers are currently up to. Just like that post, this one won’t be on the sports page every day, so you can either bookmark it or find it pinned at the top of my Twitter profile (@rich_hofmann). As more news starts to come in, it will be continually updated.

For this exercise, we'll break down the contact between the Sixers potential draft picks into three categories: Sixers workouts in Philly, private workouts somewhere else, and interviews at the NBA combine.

So, here's what we have so far to the best of my knowledge:

Returning to school

• Blossomgame, Hart, and Trimble

Notes

• Thanks to Jake Pavorsky for compiling the reports of all the interviews the Sixers did at the combine.

• Monday, May 16th: Bembry, Hart, Johnson, Bond, and Long work out at PCOM. The Holy War matchup between Bembry and Hart, before the latter decided to head back to school, headlined the session.

• Friday, May 20th: Prince, VanVleet, Lo, Miles, Shepard, and Blossomgame work out at PCOM.

• Tuesday, May 24th: From the Inquirer's Keith Pompey (Thon Maker also was working out):

The 76ers were well represented at Tuesday’s Excel Sports Management predraft workout in New York that featured the agency's draft prospects, who included projected Top 5 picks Brandon Ingram and Jamal Murray.
Managing owner Josh Harris, coach Brett Brown and vice president of player personnel Marc Eversley were among the Sixers contingent on hand. President of basketball operation Bryan Colangelo attended his son’s high school graduation in Toronto.

• Thursday, May 26th: From Pompey, the Sixers brass attended the BDA Sports Pro Day (Deyonta Davis, Diallo, Ochefu, McCaw, Adams, and House):

Like the other 29 NBA teams, the 76ers' brass is in California to view several agent-run workouts. President of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo, coach Brett Brown, vice president of player personnel Marc Eversley and vice president of basketball administrations Brandon Williams were on hand Thursday.

• Monday, May 30th: A group of players projected to go in the second round or undrafted (Bolomboy, Greene, House, Quarterman, Taylor, and Webb III) works out at PCOM.

• Thursday, June 2nd: Another group of undrafted types (Caruso, Hamilton, Austin, Allen, and Poythress) worked out along with Cordinier at PCOM.
