The Grizzlies are working out Vanderbilt\u2019s Tyler Tanner<\/a> on Wednesday, along with Chase Ross<\/a> (Marquette), Sam Alexis<\/a> (Indiana), and J\u2019Vonne Hadley<\/a> (Louisville), reports Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal (Twitter link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Tanner, a potential first-round pick, is the most highly regarded prospect of that group and will face a decision in a matter of hours on whether or not to keep his name in the draft. The deadline for early entrants<\/a> to withdraw and retain their NCAA eligibility is 11:59 pm Eastern on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Tanner is one of the more notable prospects who has yet to finalize his decision \u2014 it\u2019s possible the feedback he gets on Wednesday from the Grizzlies, who hold this year\u2019s third, 16th, and 32nd overall picks, will help sway him in one direction or the other.<\/p>\n

We have a few more draft-related updates:<\/p>\n

Flory Bidunga<\/a>, who is transferring from Kansas to Louisville, has withdrawn from the draft, per Joe Tipton of On3 (Twitter link<\/a>). So has Shane Blakeney<\/a>, who is transferring from Drexel to South Carolina, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports (Twitter link<\/a>), as well as Anton Bonke<\/a>, who is transferring from Charlotte to Michigan State, agent Scott Nichols tells Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress (Twitter link<\/a>). Bidunga is entering his junior season in 2026\/27, while Blakeney and Bonke will be seniors and will be automatically draft-eligible next year.
\nIn addition to Dillon Mitchell<\/a>, Tre Donaldson<\/a>, and Tyler Nickel<\/a>, whose participation was previously reported<\/a>, the Warriors are bringing in Nevada guard Corey Camper<\/a>, South Carolina guard Kobe Knox<\/a>, and San Diego State guard Reese Dixon-Waters<\/a> for Wednesday\u2019s group workout, according to the team (Twitter link<\/a>).
\nNick Boyd<\/a> (Wisconsin), Wyatt Fricks<\/a> (Marshall), Nate Johnson<\/a> (Kansas State), and Tre White<\/a> (Kansas) are among the prospects visiting the Hornets for a pre-draft workout on Wednesday, league sources tell Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer (Twitter link<\/a>). Charlotte currently only holds the 14th and 18th overall picks, while Boyd and White rank 76th and 93rd, respectively, on ESPN\u2019s top-100 list<\/a>, so the team could be eyeing potential undrafted targets for two-way offers.
\nCincinnati forward Baba Miller<\/a> had been scheduled<\/a> to take part in a group workout with the Kings on Wednesday, but he was unable to participate due to an illness, tweets<\/a> Sean Cunningham of KCRA News.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Grizzlies are working out Vanderbilt\u2019s Tyler Tanner on Wednesday, along with Chase Ross (Marquette), Sam Alexis (Indiana),…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":745598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3795],"tags":[86251,18941,7,18276,78232,2465,294,40735,13665,293,177,4070,2441,6,29906,91826,49825,91827,18925,28216,91828],"class_list":["post-745597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-memphis-grizzlies","tag-anton-bonke","tag-baba-miller","tag-basketball","tag-chase-ross","tag-corey-camper","tag-flory-bidunga","tag-grizzlies","tag-jvonne-hadley","tag-kobe-knox","tag-memphis","tag-memphis-grizzlies","tag-memphisgrizzlies","tag-nate-johnson","tag-nba","tag-nick-boyd","tag-reese-dixon-waters","tag-sam-alexis","tag-shane-blakeney","tag-tre-white","tag-tyler-tanner","tag-wyatt-fricks"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116648462485283112","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=745597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/745598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=745597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=745597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=745597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
