Pre-draft workouts: Day 2

Tubby Smith showed up at Target Center this morning to watch Kentucky guard Jodie Meeks work out on the second of four workout days that have drawn representatives from 20 NBA teams.

North Dakota State’s Ben Woodside, from just down the interstate in Albert Lea, is in this afternoon’s session. I’ll bet working out in that cozy Target Center basement gym for Larry Bird and Danny Ainge, among others, will be just a bit different than hooping it up at Valley Park or the Y back home.

Tomorrow morning is when things should get really interesting. That’s when guards Eric Maynor from VCU and Jeff Teague from Wake Forest — two point guards the Wolves will strongly consider if they’re still available at the 18th pick — come to town to work out in a group with Texas forward Damion James, Georgetown forward DaJuan Summers, Notre Dame forward Luke Harangody and Saint Joseph’s forward Ahman Nivins.

Marquette’s Jerel McNeal, LSU guard Marcus Thornton,USC forward Taj Gibson, DePaul forward Dar Tucker, DePaul center Mac Koshwal and BYU guard Lee Cummard are the Wednesday afternoon group.

The week concludes with one session Thursday morning.
