Kyle Casey (Harvard), Jarell Eddie (Virginia Tech), C.J. Fair (Syracuse), Joe Jackson (Memphis), JaKarr Sampson (St. John\u2019s) and Xavier Thames (San Diego State) came into town <a title=\"2014 NBA Draft Prospect Workout: Xavier Thames and Co.\" href=\"http:\/\/cowbellkingdom.com\/2014\/06\/14\/2014-nba-draft-prospect-workout-xavier-thames-and-co\/\" target=\"_blank\">to showcase their talents<\/a>. Following the workout, Kings assistant GM Mike Bratz spoke with media for a few minutes and discussed where they are in the draft process so far.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rodney Hood of Duke was supposed to take part in Saturday\u2019s workout, <a title=\"Duke\u2019s Rodney Hood no longer working out for Sacramento Kings on Saturday\" href=\"http:\/\/cowbellkingdom.com\/2014\/06\/13\/dukes-rodney-hood-no-longer-working-out-for-sacramento-kings-on-saturday\/\" target=\"_blank\">but pulled out at the last minute<\/a>. His visit has yet to be rescheduled according to Bratz. \u201cWe\u2019ve been in touch with his agent and we are going to get him in, I think,\u201d Bratz said.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Aaron Gordon made an unannounced visit to Sacramento following their first two pre-draft workouts on June 2. The 18-year-old forward r<a href=\"http:\/\/www.slamonline.com\/nba\/aaron-gordon-third-diary-kings-lakers-jazz\/\" target=\"_blank\">ecapped his visit to Sacramento in his draft diary for SLAM Online<\/a>. Here was Bratz\u2019s description of Gordon\u2019s visit and as well as his thoughts on the former Wildcat&#8217;s upside as an NBA player. \u201cHe didn\u2019t do much in the workout,\u201d Bratz said. \u201cHe just did some light shooting. But I\u2019ve watched Aaron play quite a few times this year, so I\u2019m real familiar with his game. He\u2019s a terrific athlete, one of the best in the draft. He\u2019s very young. I think he\u2019s going to be a great player so, we\u2019ll see what happens with him.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Gordon is projected as a power forward in the NBA by most pundits. What positions does Bratz think the former Wildcat can guard when he gets to the league? \u201cI think initially the three,\u201d Bratz said. \u201cBut he\u2019s gonna gain strength and weight and he\u2019ll be able to defend both spots.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>With the NBA Draft less than two weeks way, the Kings have hosted just four pre-draft workouts. Bratz says they plan on having a few more ahead of the draft, including maybe a few return visits by prospects who&#8217;ve already come into town.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Bratz on the challenge of getting players to come in and workout: \u201cIt\u2019s a challenge. Obviously, we have No. 8, so there\u2019s a pool of players that we\u2019ve had in, looking at that spot. We don\u2019t have a second round pick as of right now. We\u2019re very interested in obtaining one, but as of right now, we don\u2019t. Several of these players would be in that mix in the second round. We have to convince their agents that we are serious about these players and we do want to take a look at them and that\u2019s why the guys are here today.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Bratz says that the senior class of this year\u2019s draft is \u201cpretty strong\u201d. He believes there will be players who have a real shot of earning a roster spot even if they aren\u2019t picked in the draft. \u201cI think this year\u2019s draft you\u2019ll see a lot of guys go undrafted that still have a chance to make teams,\u201d Bratz said. \u201cAnd so it\u2019s real important that we get a look at guys who maybe go undrafted as well, so that we\u2019re ready if they fit in our program (and) we can get them.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bratz provides an update where the Kings stand ahead of this year&#8217;s NBA Draft. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[610259261],"tags":[121700414,44323677,610260468,610260473,34415929,610260469,610260470,610260222,16142565,76563,610260471],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sacramento Kings Assistant GM Mike Bratz talks Rodney Hood, Aaron Gordon - The Sports Daily<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/news\/sacramento-kings-assistant-gm-mike-bratz-talks-rodney-hood-aaron-gordon-after-saturday-pre-draft-workout\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sacramento Kings Assistant GM Mike Bratz talks Rodney Hood, Aaron Gordon\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/news\/sacramento-kings-assistant-gm-mike-bratz-talks-rodney-hood-aaron-gordon-after-saturday-pre-draft-workout\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Sports Daily\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-06-14T22:00:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/cowbellkingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/bratz-Mullin-dalessandro.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alan Draper\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sportsdailytsd\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sportsdailytsd\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alan Draper\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/news\/sacramento-kings-assistant-gm-mike-bratz-talks-rodney-hood-aaron-gordon-after-saturday-pre-draft-workout\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/news\/sacramento-kings-assistant-gm-mike-bratz-talks-rodney-hood-aaron-gordon-after-saturday-pre-draft-workout\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alan Draper\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/#\/schema\/person\/2c8aadde2571800d0de74323730df7b5\"},\"headline\":\"Sacramento Kings Assistant GM Mike Bratz talks Rodney Hood, Aaron Gordon\",\"datePublished\":\"2014-06-14T22:00:04+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2014-06-14T22:00:04+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/news\/sacramento-kings-assistant-gm-mike-bratz-talks-rodney-hood-aaron-gordon-after-saturday-pre-draft-workout\/\"},\"wordCount\":566,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/news\/sacramento-kings-assistant-gm-mike-bratz-talks-rodney-hood-aaron-gordon-after-saturday-pre-draft-workout\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"http:\/\/cowbellkingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/bratz-Mullin-dalessandro.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"2014 NBA Draft\",\"Aaron Gordon\",\"C.J.
