Has any of the 2026 NBA Draft’s top four been in for workouts — and interviews at HSS Training Center? Not that we know of, although there were reports that A.J. Dybansta might drop by. Nothing new on the quintet of lead guards — Darius Acuff, Mikel Brown Jr., Kingston Flemings, Keaton Wagler nor Brayden Burries — nor big men Aday Mara, Karim Lopez and Nate Ament, the newest poster boy for Nets Twitter angst.
They may have been in but Sean Marks & co. don’t release names of those who’ve journeyed to 168 39th Street to show their wares, answer bizarre questions … and be wowed by the views out the Great Window on the eighth floor.
However, we have been compiling from a variety of sources, led by but not limited to Hoopshye’s Draft Workout Tracker, a list of others, most of them hoping lightning will strike. Here’s what we got:
Of the nine, only two are listed on ESPN’s Top 100 Big Board — Jaden Henley and Isaac McKneely — the former at No. 67, the latter at No. 89. Dainja who’s only 23, could be a candidate for the Long Island Nets.
As we’ve noted, the Nets have two second round picks at Nos. 33 and 43 plus two Summer League rosters, training camp and Long Island Nets roster.
We’ll try to keep things current, particularly when any of the candidates for first round slots show up.
