Larry Sanders working out with Atlanta Hawks June 22nd

Tuesday, June 22 the Hawks will be bringing in Larry for his last workout before the Draft at Madison Square Garden on June 24th in New York City. The Hawks hold the #24 and #53 picks in the 2010 draft.

In addition the Hawks will be working out Ryan Richards (an England native who is also working out with Larry today in Utah), Latavious Williams (Tulsa 66'ers-NBDL), Solomon Alabi (Florida St.), Samardo Samuels (Louisville), Daniel Orton (Kentucky, who also worked out with Larry in Toronto), Tory Jackson (Notre Dame), and a certain Joe Dukes from our very own Georgia State, who is likely trying out for a summer league spot.

The times I've seen Alabi play he's looked like a real stiff, but he's still going to make a lot of money. He moves like molasses, has zero offensive moves and he makes Eric Davis look sure-handed. He's big and takes up space. That's pretty much it.

The Hawks final day of publicized workouts will be on Tuesday and will see the largest number or participants. Again the focus is on big men. There are a few of intriguing names such as Larry Sanders, Daniel Orton and Solomon Alabi. Latavious Williams is also scheduled to work out and he made history earlier this season as he was the first high school player to skip college and go directly into the D-League.

Larry Sanders

Sanders has been a guy that has been really hard to project. In many mock drafts he has gone in the late lottery and some have him slipping into the late first round. Typically the Hawks haven't worked out people this year that they suspect will go much higher than where they are picking. If the team decides to take a big player then Sanders if available could be the best of the bunch. He is a long 6'11" and is already a more than capable rebounder and shot blocker. His offensive game is still developing but he is becoming more confident in his perimeter shot. I don't look for him to be available at #24 and think that the Hawks would have to move up to get him.
